About Mary

Experience: 20 yrs

Fostering a child's growth and development is my lifelong passion. With 20 years of experience as a preschool teacher, I bring a wealth of expertise in early childhood education to your home. I prioritize your family's unique values and your child's specific needs. My approach integrates music, art, and literacy into daily play, whether we are solving puzzles or enjoying outdoor sports. I hold CPR Training and First Aid Training certifications. I maintain clear communication through daily reports, texts, and face-to-face updates. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, crafts, and light housekeeping while following your household rules. I am a patient, creative professional who thrives on building meaningful connections with the children I support. I look forward to becoming a trusted partner in your child's journey and helping them flourish every single day.
