About Mary

Hello! I am a young adult that lives and works in the area. I love kids and I have 13+ years of experience babysitting off and on. I have babysat 8 months olds (twins) to about 12 or 13-year-olds. I grew up with three sisters and au paired for a family with six kids in my teenage years. I am all about encouraging children to play, learn to authentically interact with one another and be free from heavy tech use. Even for myself, I do not keep a tv in my apartment -- but tend to use my time to read, go on walks/outside, serve in various capacities, and be with friends or pursue other hobbies. As a babysitter, I will devote my time to interacting with the children. I am always gentle, but I know how to be firm (in a gentle, instructional, encouraging, and unwavering sort of way) when I need to be. I have recently completed adult and pediatric first aid, CPR and AED certification. I hope you will reach out!
