Hi, my name is Maryellen and I'm a teacher/nanny with many years of experience. I have two adult children. I was born and raised in upstate NY. I was passionate about childhood education early on. I have been a children's skating instructor, swim instructor for special needs and summer kids, preschool teacher, day care provider, house manager, nanny, autism caregiver, and babysitter for all ages. I also provide respite care for infants overnight. I love to see how a child's personality begins to form and enjoy witnessing their mental, emotional, and social development every single day. It's an honor and privilege to have an influence on their progress, no matter how large or small the steps. Your child's safety, happiness, and growth are my highest priorities. I take my position very seriously and know that I have a big influence on their childhood experiences throughout the time I am with them. It is such a nurturing and stimulating environment and I am proud to contribute to that.
We hired Maryellen to babysit our four month old for two nights in a row while attending a wedding in Massachusetts. She was absolutely wonderful and made us feel so comfortable as parents hiring a babysitter for her first time. She kept us updated was flexible with her timing to accommodate our schedule and kept our baby happy safe fed, and asleep. Would hire her again in a heartbeat.
