Being the oldest of four herself and a teacher, Mary has the experience of taking care of all ages and needs."

"We met Mary when she worked at our daycare. My kids loved her and she eventually watched our kids in our home 1-2 times per week. We were very confident in Mary providing excellent care for our children. I would recommend Mary as a nanny without reservations."

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.

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!
