About Mary

Experience: 10 yrs

I have 28+ years of work experience with young children. I started working in a child care center when I was 16 years old. I then followed my passion for children as I received my college degree in Early Childhood Administration, with certification in Infant and Toddler programming, and Preschool Education. I have been a lead teacher in classrooms for children 12 months old to school age, ran a summer camp for several years, spent 15 years training teachers and being a director of a daycare. For six years, I had a home daycare provider for families of children 3 months old up to age 12 years old. I provided a year-round program with a formal preschool curriculum, math and reading enrichment and an awesome summer camp. Currently I run a twos program in the morning and an enrichment program for school ages in the afternoon. I deeply care for every family I have had the honor of caring for. I have been called the best personal cheerleader a child could ever have. I believe that every child has potential and when given a warm, loving and stimulating environment, can reach the stars and beyond! I am now looking to work outside my home as a nanny.

Mary cared for my twins from the time they were a couple months old until they were two. She was always pleasant and calm with them. Mary has a very nurturing personality and my children enjoyed seeing her each morning. If I hadn't lost my job, Mary would still be watching my kids. I highly recommend her services.
