About Marilyn

Experience: 10 yrs

I'd describe my personality as outgoing -warm-friendly I like working with children because I find their honesty refreshing and their point of views meaningful, but honestly for the sheer joy they bring. I started working with children when I was home with my own 2 children. I had my families children 2-3 days a week depending on their needs. Ages were 2 months-5y/old. I then became a paraprofessional- 10 years in Spec. Ed.; 6 yrs in a medically fragile room and 5 years in Kindergarten. I am now retired. In my spare time, I like to go to my sons football games -they both coach HS football. My skills include being completely present; listening, reading , singing, and playing (hand and eye coordination) with children while keeping them safe.

We were visiting the area from out of town and hired Marilyn for one night. She was extremely accommodating, offering to meet with my family before the night we hired her for so she could introduce herself to my kids and they could start to get familiar with her. She immediately developed a strong rapport with my two young children, putting my mind at ease. She clearly loves interacting with kids. I was very happy with the level of care and attention she provided. If I'm ever in the area again, I wouldn't hesitate to re-hire Marilyn!
