A little bit about me

My name is Mary and I just relocated from DC as a full time nanny. I have been a nanny for over a year, and a babysitter for 4 years. I am a musician, and I love to sing for children - so if your children love Disney princesses - Tiana, Moana, Rapunzel you name it.. I can be that person for them. I also offer piano lessons for children! Though I wouldn't like to consider myself as fluent in Spanish, I do speak the language intermediately, and am a fluent speaker of ASL. Happy to offer lessons in ASL as well. A learning beginner of Arabic and Vietnamese.

"Mary was wonderful! My kids (age 2 and 5) warmed to her very quickly. She was kind but firm, full of energy and patience and knew just how to interact with my kids. She was safety conscious and I could see she was observant and attentive. She was on time and reliable and very professional in her communications with me. We all loved her!"

More About Me

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

I was grew up a Girl Scout, and eventually became a volunteer for my neighborhood's local troop.
I was a team member for numerous camps/summer camps as well.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Baking!! I'm not a baker myself, so I find it a great way to figure out things together - and it allows kids to take initiative (with supervision of course) with an activity with the lovely treat of treats!
I'm also on the younger side, so I have plenty of energy that can be burned through racing, playing live action make believe, etc.
I enjoy taking walks with children, going to the park, bike rides, and playing card games.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Definitely listening and being there for them. Always recognizing the signs, and paying attention. Making sure that they feel as though they can trust you and be comfortable around you in their home.

My experience with special needs children...

For about a month, I worked part-time for a family that had a child with learning and intellectual disabilities.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Picking up the kids from school and one of them letting out a big rip. We all paused - looked at one another - and started cracking up
