About Mara

I am currently a 23-year-old 5th year student from Columbus Ohio studying Criminal Justice. I got my first childcare job at 11 as a mothers helper and have enjoyed babysitting and nannying for different families of different sizes with different aged children for years. I really think that the way children are raised and the people that spend time with them matters. Working with kids has always been a joy for me! My skills with children include a lot of creativity. I love playing high energy games with them and being outside. I love challenging children to be goofy and free to express themselves by encouraging them to be who they are communicate their interests. I am very confident in my ability to have calm and meaningful disciplinary conversations with children when necessary, especially with disputes between siblings and calming down tantrums. I have plenty of infant experience, I am very comfortable with feeding and sleeping schedules and good at keeping up with family routines.
