About Mary

Experience: 10 yrs

For over 35 years, I've been privileged to nurture young minds and support families through childcare. My approach is rooted in patience, creativity, and open communication. I'm a firm believer in establishing routines and age-appropriate expectations to help children thrive. I find joy in engaging children through sensory activities, arts and crafts, singing, dancing, reading, building math skills, trips to the local library and creating just about anything that we put our imagination as we exploring the world around. I believe every child has their own personality, and has to be cared for as an individual. I have driven many children and have a great driving record. I hold certifications in First Aid and CPR Training. I have my degree in Early Childhood administration. infant toddler programming and preschool education. I'm passionate about children's growth, and I look forward to discussing how I can positively impact your child's life.

Mary cared for my twins from the time they were a couple months old until they were two. She was always pleasant and calm with them. Mary has a very nurturing personality and my children enjoyed seeing her each morning. If I hadn't lost my job, Mary would still be watching my kids. I highly recommend her services.
