I am a mother of three, all now young adults in the world. With my family all grown up and grandchildren a little way off I am wanting to re-enter the workforce Before I had my children I was a nurse for 23 years, 8 of which were spent in intensive care. My preference now is to work with children. My years as a mother raising my own family were both challenging and rewarding. They offered me many learning experiences and I am ready to pass on this wisdom. My focus is on the creation of a nurturing home environment where a child can blossom surrounded by strong rhythm, routine and well defined boundaries. I have a passion for story-telling, cooking, walks in nature and craft work. I work with these elements along with the necessary home tasks to create a framework that gives children a sense of security and helps them to learn both task based and social skill and to flourish as unique individuals.

Reviews

4 families and businesses in your area recommended Mary...
"Mary is an absolute delight! She is kind and warm with the children but very sensible and firm also, explaining reasons for why they should or should not behave in a certain way. The minute Mary left, my eldest daughter asked when she was to babysit again, announcing that she was “nice”! Mary also does many extra little things around the house as a very joyous bonus for a busy mum- hanging out washing, folding clothes, unpacking dishwasher!! She is like a true grandmother- and a lovely lady as well. Highly recommended!!"
From Melissa - Ringwood East

Childcare Experience

I have been babysitting intermittently for many years now. Just for family and friends. Children of all ages appeal their me though I especially like the newborn and toddlers.
