About Mary

Hi! My name is Mary, but I go by Mickey. I moved to Gainesville February of 2020 to study comics at the Sequential Artists Workshop. I love it here! Before moving 600 miles to study cartoons, I worked for four years at an early childcare center in my hometown, eventually becoming the lead teacher (baby wrangler) to a class of 1-year-olds. Then I took a break to intern for one season on an organic vegetable farm in Tennessee, and now I'm here! I am an energetic, empathetic and creative caregiver. I love doing sensory art projects with kiddos, taking them outside to explore nature, and trips to the library. For smaller infants, I love nursery rhymes, cuddling, pretending I know exactly what those babbles mean, and the all - important tummy time. I know some simple ASL, too! I'm not currently CPR certified, but can get certified if necessary. I do not know how to drive, so I cannot transport your children anywhere. Fully vaxxed against covid!
