A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Marah, and I have a genuine love for working with kids. Growing up in a family with eight siblings gave me years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages and taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun, supportive environment. In addition to family experience, I also have paid babysitting experience and enjoy helping kids learn, play, and feel comfortable.

I am CPR and First Aid certified, so safety is always a top priority for me. I also have an intermediate level of American Sign Language (ASL), which allows me to communicate in more inclusive ways when needed.
