"Mariah is an incredible Early Childhood Educator who’s very passionate about her role for caring for children. I’ve had the pleasure of working alongside Mariah as Co-Teachers for 2yrs before leaving for maternity leave. During those 2yrs of working with Mariah I had the opportunity to experience a teacher who showed dedication to providing a high quality caring and safe environment for children. Mariah was Head Lead Teacher of our class working with infants and toddlers from ages 3months - 15months. After working side by side with Mariah and leaving for Maternity leave I hired Mariah to help me with many duties at home such as morning care with my infant, feeding and learning. Mariah has grown a bond with my infant that I love so much and she shows every chance she gets how much she loves children. I have no doubt that Mariah will be a great addition. She is dependable, compassionate and deeply committed."
