About Marie

Over my first summer in Santa Fe, I nannied for two families (Family 1: 10-month-old; Family 2: 4, 5, 7) before working as an assistant teacher position at a local preschool. I am now an executive assistant, but am open to occasional babysitting on Fridays, evenings, and weekends. I am first aid and CPR certified, passed a ECECD background check, and have Part 1: Early Care, Education and Family Support Entry Level certification in NM. Before moving here, I did nonprofit work in DC where I also babysat for 2 little boys for five years. I have also provided short-term care for a variety of families, including multiple overnights and weekends. I practice "gentle" caretaking and am very comfortable with children of all ages, and can help with school work, cooking, and cleaning up. I like to lead through modeling and positive reinforcement. I encourage curiosity, read books, play sports, games, and crafts, and go on adventures when appropriate.
