About Mary

I have been active one day a week as a volunteer (non paid) teacher for the past five years with a community Bible study. I spent one year in the nursery, where I got to snuggle and play with the babies while taking care of their basic needs. I've enjoyed the 2 and 3-year-old children so much I've stayed with them for five years. With 4 to 10 in my classroom, I learned to adjust according to the needs and personality of each child as an individual. You can't play and engage a shy, sensitive child the same way as a self confident and "never met a stranger" child. It's not just what you say, but the facial expression and tone of voice when you say it that children are quick to pick up on. I think I am intuitive when it comes to children; adept at matching my child care techniques to the child in my charge. I know the time restraints parents are under today. I want to work with parents, extend their family values, help their children dream and achieve. Also, I free up parent's workload so that when they get home they can relax a little and know their children are safe and have spent the day with someone who has engaged with them as their playmate, teacher & comforter. I am happily married with two grown children. I have reliable, insured transportation.
