Experience: 10 yrs
My name is Miss Marney and I have been caring for kids for 16+ years. First as a teacher, next as a SAHM, then as a care-taker for friends children. I understand that kids need routine and consistency, as well as fun. I love to take a child's interests and grow them through play, reading and field trips. By fostering their specific interests I can create and grown a love for learning that will last throughout their lives. My background in teaching helps me understand and recognize if and when a child is ready to work on a specific skill and help them achieve success, whether learning to skip, riding a bike or learning to read. References upon request.
Marney is the very best! She cared for my babies daily while I worked as a teacher. She treated my children as her own, with love and attention. She rarely put a screen on for them, and engaged with them and kept their schedule as I liked. Sleep schedules and healthy eating are very important to her as a caregiver. She has a background in elementary education and she believes in creating experiences for early learning. She did sensory activities, letter awareness, and also allowed the children to cook/ bake with her and try new foods, as appropriate. There were daily walks and/or bike rides, lots of outdoor playing, LOTS of books and crafts/games/songs. I really cannot say enough about Marney. My children see her as family. I just asked my 6 year old (who hasn't been cared for by Marney since he was four) what I should say about Marney, and his response was, "She's the greatest ever." Please let me know if you have any more questions.
