A little bit about me

My name is Mary Cleary! During the school year, I am a music teacher in Rogers Park, Chicago! I teach children 5 years old to 14 years old. I am usually in the classroom with 30 kids at a time so I'm no stranger to managing multiple kids at once! I can't wait to get a chance to talk to, and hopefully support, families in the Chicago area.

More About Me

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

In addition to being an elementary school teacher now, I was also daycare teacher for 3 years. I worked with infants, toddlers, and pre schoolers.

Prior to that, I was a camp counselor at the YMCA summer camps!

I have also worked as a nanny back in my home-town of St. Louis, Missouri. I've been with families with 1 to 3 kids.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Bike riding, going the park, swimming (I was a swim instructor and would be more than happy to help any children still learning to swim), and playing sports! I try to be outside as much as possible, as I think it's better for us both.

The most important part about being a nanny...

For a summer nanny especially, you have a limited time with them. So building a trusting relationship fast is critical.

My experience with special needs children...

I work with them in my current job as an elementary school teacher!

The most important part about being a nanny...

When the 5 year old child I was watching swam on his own for the first time!
