Experience: 5 yrs
Nurturing young minds is my passion! With 5. years of experience caring for children aged newborn to six, l bring a patient, creative, and friendly approach to childcare. My previous babysitting and nannying roles solidified my desire to positively impact children's lives, and l am eager to foster their growth and development. I love to do arts and crafts, sing songs, read books, teach cooking skills, and go on walks to the playground, and library. I have experience with baby lead weaning, potty training, supporting physical therapy, and baby development. I know a little bit of English. I understand more than what I can speak. I can provide regular updates via text or phone call and always follow your preferred communication methods. I also follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I am also willing to help with cooking, meal preparation, and light housekeeping. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I have a car and am comfortable with pets.
Mery has cared for my sons for the past four years - since my eldest was six months old. She is so loving, caring, kind, creative and responsible. I've been so grateful to have someone so trustworthy and sweet to care for my sons. She is very reliable and is always going above and beyond to make sure my boys are safe, loved, and well cared for. She cooks their meals, reads them books, does yoga with them, and is always coming up with fun creative art projects to do with them. She has taken them to the zoo, music class, museums, yoga class, playground, play dates, kids concerts, strawberry picking, the baby gym, and the library. She's always very attentive and is great supporting with nap time, potty training, reading, physical therapy exercises, and playing all types of games. I can always trust her to keep me updated all day about how they are doing, sending cute photos, and she has very good judgement. She is also flexible on the occasional evenings when I've had to work late or we need a babysitter for a date night. She was an incredible support when I was pregnant and my younger child was a newborn with helping around the house. She is one in a million and her next family will be blessed to have her take care of their child. We are moving away from DC or we would never let her go!
