About Mara
Experience: 10 yrs
My background in providing outstanding care to children began in my native Italy when I was 12 years old. My 30 years of experience with children cover a variety of childcare settings, from a full-time nanny to a lead teacher in 3- to 6-year-old Montessori classrooms. I firmly believe that exposure to a nurturing, educational, and peaceful environment is key for children to grow to their maximum potential. My extensive experience, patience, and compassion help me to bring out the best in the children I work with. In challenging situations, I remain calm and composed. For children of all ages, I demonstrate active listening, loving care, and guidance. I schedule fun outings (parks and gardens; museums and workshops) as well as organize play dates, so children integrate well within their community. I prepare healthy, nutritionally dense foods children enjoy eating, and I expose children to a variety of mindfulness activities that foster confidence and security.

When Mara cared for our son, she was wonderful. She is very attentive, responsible, caring, reliable and trustworthy. Mara has a positive and upbeat attitude, she is highly qualified and educated, possesses a lot of experience and a vast understanding of everything that relates to the care, development and learning of your child / children.
