A little bit about me
I’m a 28 year old career nanny with 6 plus years of professional childcare experience seeking a long-term infant nanny position in San Francisco. My background includes several long-term placements with SF families, as well as experience working in a group home and serving as a foster parent, giving me a strong foundation in responsive, individualized care.
My caregiving style incorporates RIE and Montessori principles, with an emphasis on respectful caregiving, secure attachment, age-appropriate independence. I also understand that excellent nanny care extends beyond direct childcare. I’m comfortable supporting the needs of the whole household, including children’s laundry, meal preparation, organization, stocking children’s supplies, coordinating activities, and helping keep the household running smoothly.
I’m dependable, proactive, communicative, and comfortable working collaboratively with parents. I’m looking for a family who values a professional, long-term nanny relationship!

"Mary is one of the best nanny’s and babysitter’s in the Bay Area. I have experienced her incredible work ethic, communication skills, knowledge on children, and pure passion on how to have a child thrive in a constructive, joyful, and structured environment. She has the patience of a saint with children, and handles tantrums and meltdowns like a pro. I have even learned alot from her techniques as well. From enrichment moments I’ve seen that has helped my little learn how to read, basic life skills, emotional regulation, and so much more that would be too lengthy to list. Mary is and will ways be my top choice as a babysitter and nanny due to her reliability, flexibility, grace, and passion."

A little bit about me
I'm a dedicated nanny who believes that every child deserves to grow in a space filled with warmth, curiosity, and love. I've worked with families of all sizes and backgrounds, from infants to school-aged children. I love being a part of each child's unique journey and approach each household with the same level of care, organization, and commitment I'd give my own family.
Coming from a big, close-knit family, I've always understood the importance of connection. My family means the world to me as they were the ones who shaped me to be the person I am today.
Outside of work and my studies, you’ll often find me reading, journaling, staying active by working out and weightlifting, or exploring something new. I love to keep learning and growing, whether that’s discovering a new hobby, trying a new recipe, or finding the next great book to get lost in.
