A little bit about me

My name is Marilu, I consider myself to be a patient, compassionate, energetic and creative person. My passion for children started at a very young age caring for my younger siblings. Since then, I have been molding my educational path with joy and adventures that every child has brought into my life. Having said that, I take very serious the health, safety and happiness of every child in my care. I make sure that your child feels safe, loved and most of all respected. I love teaching your children open-ended arts and crafts using various materials. As an artist I believe art is essential in the development of a child to instill creativity in their lives, setting a great foundation for future development. I also love to use the environment as a tool to teach children self and environmental awareness through exploration and play. My priority while caring for your child is to help your child grow being confident, feeling cared for including your furry family members and home too!

A little bit about me

I am a 20 something former preschool teacher looking for some one on one time with a family and their children. While I love group work, having 18+ children to a classroom can be overwhelming. I am looking for consistent work with just a few children to bond with. I enjoy crafts, fine motor play, running and gross motor exercise, time to read and time to adventure. Making custom garlands or graphics are things I do in my free time when I'm not baking or listening to audio books!
