About Mara

Experience: 1 yr

I have experience nannying for infants and toddlers as well as many years unpaid experience - both with my own children (now teenagers) and others. Bachelor's degree with early childhood education coursework. Substitute teacher currently working toward a Masters degree in teaching. I am not currently available for a full-time position. However, if you are seeking less than full-time, I have a flexible schedule and would be happy to work around yours. I am available for full-time care during school breaks and over the summer. Reliable transportation. CPR/First Aid Certified.

Mara is incredible and comes highly recommended by us and our kiddos. This was our first time hiring a nanny type service and she watched our three year old and nine month old baby many working days this summer. She has a hands on style with both ages and as a parent, we were so grateful for how she cared for them. With her education background, she was often teaching our toddler alphabet or literary concepts through activities, and she gave top-tier attention to our baby & all their needs, whether it be eating solids, nap, and changing, baths, working on tummy time or holding. She was always extremely prompt and willing to help out with some things around the house as needed as well. Maura also helped uphold expectations like cleaning up and listening skills. We will definitely continue to utilize her when we can and recommend you do as well!
