A little bit about me

Hello, I am Mary Beth Mayo and I enjoyed raising five children over the past 35 years, homeschooling them for 25 of those years. I am now the proud grandmother of eight grandchildren with more on the way. I love everything to do with children and enjoy playing with them, reading aloud to them and teaching them, and I bring a bag of puzzles, books, and games every time I babysit. I am very neat and organized and enjoy cleaning, cooking, organizing drawers and cabinets, doing laundry and ironing. Taking care of children and a home is just second nature to me because I have been doing it for so long, and now I have been sharing my expertise with quite a few families in the Birmingham, Alabama area, one family with four children for four years. I have taken care of children of all ages and it doesn’t matter how many children the family has either. Errand running and housework is not a problem for me either. I haven’t owned a television for the past 29 years, so I prefer no screen time.

I have cared for a boy with Down’s Syndrome and children with dyslexia and ADHD.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I took care of two year old twin girls on a farm and they loved to have me drive them around the farm on the golf cart and stop and look at the pig in the pig pen, the goats, the horses, and the chickens. They had a ball chasing after animals and imitating the sounds they made as well!
