About Merly
Experience: 6 yrs
I am a goal oriented educator, with 20 years of teaching experience and 13+ years caring for my own children with a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. I offer reliable and engaging childcare. My background includes Early Childhood Education, and Early Child Development coursework. I enjoy sparking creativity through music, reading, crafts, games and outdoor activities. I enjoy teaching babies sign language to reduce frustrations and promote communication, which I also prioritize and promote with parents, always adhering to your preferred method. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules, I am resourceful, adaptable, and mindful. I am proficient in both English and Spanish. Ultimately, I hope to provide your family with peace of mind, knowing your children are in capable and caring hands.
Most recent review
Merly is a fabulous caregiver. She's mature and capable as well as fun and educational. She babysat my 2-year-old multiple times while we were visiting friends. Our host observed that she was like Mary Poppins! She was able to keep my daughter entertained with the beach, music, dancing, etc.. She fed her good meals and tidied up our space as well. By coincidence Merly was performing at a festival we were going to the day after we first met, and she's a fabulous artist as well (singer and dancer ). You can't go wrong hiring Merly. I felt very lucky to find her.
