About Mary Ellen

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi! My name is Mary Ellen, and I am a responsible, caring, and energetic caregiver. As a young, active grandmother to eight grandchildren ranging from 16 years old down to a2-month-old infant, I have hands-on, everyday experience with almost every developmental stage. I love planning, fun, creative activities for kids, from reading and arts and crafts to outdoor games. Because of my own family, I am entirely comfortable and confident handling everything from newborn schedules and infant care to managing active older kids. Safety, reliability, and communication are always my top priorities. I would love to bring my lifetime of family experience to your household, and provide a safe, happy, and loving environment for your children!

Mary Ellen is my mom, and is a super active grandma. She is the best with little ones - kids love her. We have a 2 year old and 6 week old and she has been with us in the trenches since day one for each of them. She is super hands on and active with our toddler, and always has new activities from puzzles, to crafts and stickers, to books, to outdoor play. Teaching colors, counting, sounding out words. She is just as comfortable with our newborn, from feeding to soothing to bathing, changing diapers. She does it all!! You will have complete peace of mind that your kiddos are having fun and taken care of with Mary Ellen as your sitter.
