About Mara
Experience: 3 yrs
Hi there! I'm a graduate student with part time availability to care for your child(ren). I have extensive experience as an NYC babysitter, teacher and tutor for children ages 2 through 13 with an emphasis on creative education for little ones and after school homework help for older kids. I worked as an after school counselor and Brooklyn for two years, and prior to that was a nanny for children in Bushwick and Park Slope. I have completed graduate courses in teaching, curriculum and general instruction with an emphasis on reading and writing comprehension. My general interests include child development, art, education, social justice, and exploring the city. Spanish speaker, first aid certified with specialized skills in self-defense.

I interviewed Mara both on the phone and in person. You couldn't ask for a more experienced and thoughtful caregiver for small children in NYC! As I told my husband, I'd have zero worries while our kids were with Mara - safety-conscious, fun, and educational. She's highly educated and knows a lot about managing kids' moods and biorhythms. And she's not judge about kids being kids! Sadly, our schedules weren't a match. But I want a great family to know about her - that's why I'm leaving this review!
