Experience: 6 yrs
I am a goal oriented educator, with 20 years of teaching experience and 13+ years caring for my own children with a genuine passion for nurturing young minds. I offer reliable and engaging childcare. My background includes Early Childhood Education, and Early Child Development coursework. I enjoy sparking creativity through music, reading, crafts, games and outdoor activities. I enjoy teaching babies sign language to reduce frustrations and promote communication, which I also prioritize and promote with parents, always adhering to your preferred method. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules, I am resourceful, adaptable, and mindful. I am proficient in both English and Spanish. Ultimately, I hope to provide your family with peace of mind, knowing your children are in capable and caring hands.
Merly is the best caregiver/babysitter ever. I have a 1yr old and every-time I come home from work, Merly has soothing music playing while reading a calming book. My L. is so calm, I easily ( without fuss) put her to bed because of this. Merly read books, played and interacted throughout the day, promoting open play, social interactions, cognitive skills. Everyone loved Merly! If you get the chance to have Merly as your caregiver, you will not regret it.
