I am a licensed nurse, looking for a change of pace. My career in nursing has provided me with 25 years of experience, caring for people in an acute care setting, as well as in their homes. Additionally, I have been fortunate to have had the pleasure of working in a facility for children with special needs. The children that were in my care were severely disabled both physically and mentally, and required extensive nursing care. I thoroughly enjoyed my time working, playing, feeding, reading, rocking, bathing and laughing with the kids. Now that I am able, my desire is to return to providing care to small children, as I found that experience to be very rewarding. I am a natural caregiver, and I love to laugh, so doing both while having the privileged of providing a healthy nurturing environment for a little one is my motivation for making this career change. I am very excited to get started!

    We have known Mary for over two years and she has always gone above and beyond our expectations with the level of care she provides for our children. She is dedicated, hard working, and devoted to our family. She creates a safe and loving environment that allows us to leave the home every day knowing our children are in excellent hands. Mary's 20+ years of nursing and childcare experience have helped and guided us through some extremely difficult and challenging times. She has laughed with us and cried with us. Mary has not only become our friend, but she is a part of our family. We could not offer a more glowing recommendation for her professionalism, hard work and love.
