About Mery

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello, my name is Mery. I am 34 years old and originally from Peru, where I worked as a teacher. I've had the pleasure of working with many wonderful families, providing care for children of all ages. I started as an au pair, then spent two years at a childcare center, and during the pandemic, I taught Spanish and supported virtual learning as a tutor. I have hands-on experience with newborns, toddlers, and school-aged children-including being a proud mom of two myself. I'm active and creative, and I love involving children in engaging activities like storytime at the library, art projects, singing, dancing, sensory play, and outdoor adventures. I'm certified in pediatric and adult First Aid/CPR/AED and early intervention. I'm a non-smoker, fully vaccinated against COVID-19, pet-friendly, and have my own transportation. Please feel free to reach out-I'd be happy to chat!

We feel extremely fortunate that timing worked out and Mery could help us out with our daughter. Mery watched my daughter for 6 days in a row in the morning/afternoon while I was on modified bed rest for my second pregnancy. She was absolutely wonderful with my active and crazy 2 year old. Mery kept her busy and entertained, and did a very impressive job at diffusing her tantrums. She is patient and has a calm presence, which is very important for toddlers when meeting someone new. She is fully engaged, confident and knowledgeable with children, and came with tons of personal and past experience working with children of all types. We felt confident that our daughter was being cared for and loved, and was in safe hands. Mery is also bilingual, which will be a plus with many families. I very highly recommend Mery and hope she will continue working with my family in the years to come.
