About Mary
Experience: 3 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
As a childcare provider, my passion for nurturing and educating children stems from my positive experiences in previous babysitting roles. I find immense joy in making a positive impact on their lives and supporting families by providing reliable care. My approach to childcare is rooted in patience, creativity, and a friendly demeanor. I believe in open communication with parents, using their preferred methods to keep them informed about their child's day and addressing any issues that may arise. I also respect and follow the household rules set by the parents. Engaging children in enjoyable activities is essential to their development. I love taking them outdoors for sports and physical games, as well as playing board games and puzzles indoors. With three years of experience caring for children aged 0 to 11, I'm comfortable looking after two children at a time. I hold a foreign languages eduand am fluent in both English and Spanish. And I'm comfortable with pets.

I had the pleasure of having Mary as the au pair for my three children, ages 1, 3, and 5, for a period of four months. During her time with us, Mary demonstrated exceptional caregiving skills and quickly became a valued member of our household. Mary excelled in engaging our children in meaningful activities, such as reading books, playing interactive games, and even teaching them some Spanish. Her ability to connect with each child, despite their different ages and needs, was truly impressive. She maintained a safe, nurturing, and educational environment for our kids, which gave us great peace of mind. Although the au pair program may not have fully met Mary's expectations, she remained committed to her responsibilities and stayed in touch with our family even after her departure. We highly recommend Mary as a dedicated and caring caregiver, and we are confident that she will provide a safe and enriching experience for any family fortunate enough to work with her.
