A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Marielle and I'm experienced caretaker and educator. I previously taught 5th grade, I lead camps for young people of all ages, and I currently teach at an alternative school in South Philly for kids ages 5-15. I also co-run a babysitting night for 30 kids once a month ages 5-10, so I'm experienced in supporting kids of all different ages, personalities, and needs.

Some of my favorite ways to spend time with young people include crafting, cooking, and exploring nature. I love supporting young people to follow their passions and build meaningful relationships with themselves and the world around them.

I am CPR certified, first aid trained, and I'm constantly reading and learning about youth development to inform my work.

I'm looking for a regular babysitting role (ideally an evening or afternoon once a week or every two weeks), but I'm also open one-off jobs. Reach out to chat if it sounds like I might be a good fit for your family!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I've been an educator and camp leader for the past 10 years. I currently teach at an alternative school for kids ages 5-15, and previously taught 5th grade at a public school. I have also run summer camps for all ages of kids. And, I frequently babysit for my young niece and nephew (ages 2 and 4).

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love to do things that kids love! Crafting, cooking, exploring nature, playing with Legos, playing theater games, trying out engineering challenges and science experiments, writing stories, talking about whatever is on their mind... and so much more!

The most important part about being a nanny...

Balancing listening to kids and setting safe boundaries!

It's important to say no to kids when they have dangerous or tricky ideas, but I'm always looking to offer safer alternatives that affirm their impulses.

A kid wants to climb on a banister? I'll suggest building a "Floor is Lava" challenge out of pillows instead. A kid is running through a living room with breakable objects? I'll put on a Just Dance video or take them to the park.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience teaching neurodivergent kids, including kids with autism, ADHD, and PDA profiles. I also attend a training every year to talk about best practices to support young people with these experiences. I feel comfortable and excited to connect and care for young people of any neurotype.

The most important part about being a nanny...

It's hard to pick just one! Honestly, my favorite moments are probably small exchanges where kids share about their thoughts, feelings, or how they see the world. I pride myself in showing every kid that their feeling and ideas matter!
