About Marie

I grew up with my eight siblings on five acres. Both my parents grew up one of nine and two of my mom's siblings live nearby, each having more than nine kids. Needless to say, I've been surrounded by kids of all ages for most of my life and I've enjoyed babysitting on several occasions. I was homeschooled through high school. I love sports and have excelled in swimming. I was an assistant coach for the little kids on our swim team. I was later a private swim instructor for two summers during and after college. I am a professional artist and have given art lessons to kids in my community. I am no stranger to playing with kids, babysitting, and teaching them new skills. I am very social and have been known to be good with kids of all ages.
