Hi! My name is Marilyn, and I'm originally from Whidbey Island. I'm currently pursuing my Master's in Psychology, and I have several years of experience caring for children from infancy through age five. I'm passionate about supporting women and children, and I approach childcare with warmth, patience, and genuine care. I understand how challenging parenting can be, which is why I'm always happy to help with things like pet care and light tidying around the house. I believe in open communication and keeping parents in the loop-I'll provide regular updates and photos so you can feel connected and at ease. I know how much trust it takes to let someone care for your child, and I treat every child with the same love and attention I'd give my own.
Marilyn is one-of-a-kind. We hired her as nanny for our 4-month-old daughter as part of a nanny share, and Marilyn was with us for over two years in total. We would have happily stayed with her much longer, but we decided to move out-of-state, and sadly had to part ways. In truth, leaving Marilyn and her excellent care was one of the hardest parts about moving. Marilyn is extremely punctual and we never worried about her showing up on time. We hired her at the very start of COVID, and she took precautions seriously and worked with us as we all figured out how best to be safe. She is flexible, personable, easy to work with, and we very much looked forward to catching up with her over afternoon coffees while our daughter was napping. She always put our daughter's interests first, and we trust her implicitly. We think of her as a family member and, even though we moved, our daughter still talks about her often. We would happily work with Marilyn again.
