About Marleigh

Experience: 7 yrs

How's it going, I'm Marleigh, a youth Visual Arts Instructor with previous experience in childhood care and education. During my time spent working with children, I realized how much they could utilize direct support. That led me to joining this platform as a nanny/childcare provider. Working with kids is something I absolutely enjoy, and having the opportunity to guide them through their early stages of life is something I've always been passionate about. The safety and well-being of the children under my care, is always prioritized along with creating an engaging environment for their growth/development. Outings, trips, and activities will be incorporated. With 10 years of experience working with kids, 5 of which I spent working at youth programs, as well as 2 years working as a daycare teacher, I'm sure that I'll have a positive impact on their lives. I'm certified in NYS Early Childhood Education and trained in CPR/AED. I'm adept at fine arts, reliable, do housekeeping, tutor, etc.

From a new born to a toddler, working with Marleigh has been a great pleasure. Not only has she been a caregiver to my son, but she's become my 3 yro's best friend. She doesn't just babysit him, she steps into his world and engages with him at a level that allows her to help him grow and learn while keeping him entertained. She incorporates learning in play time, provides healthy snacks/meals, and with her patience has helped him develop and learn to regulate his emotions in a way that I struggled with. Over all I couldnt Have come across a better person to care for my child. I have 0 doubts or concerns when my son is in her care because I know his well being is her top priority which is a big relief as a parent. I'd highly recommend her.
