About Mary

I'd describe my personality as enthusiastic, patient, and kind. I like working with kids because I love learning and love to incorporate daily learning activities with children in a joyful way. I started working with kids when I a teenager as a babysitter. I worked in a Montessori classroom and taught swimming in high school. I spent a gap year after high school as a nanny for a family of 5. I continued nannying for the family after graduating college. I worked at Denver Children's Home as well as a school and residential counselor. In my spare time, I like to be outdoors camping and hiking. I like to see live music and travel. I also enjoy cooking, baking, reading, and art while at home. I enjoy working with children on developing and focusing on their individual strengths. My skills include working with children in verbalizing needs and wants, expressing and processing emotions in a healthy and supportive environment, and finding solutions to problems.
