About Mery
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hi families! I am Mery, 34 yo. I was teacher in my country Peru. Since I came to USA (11 years ago) I have been working with many families taking care of their kids and driving them to activities. I have been Au pair my first year also I worked in a childcare center for 2 years. During Covid, I taught Spanish and assisted as a tutor in virtual learning. I have experience with new born, toddlers and school age (I have 2y old and have a 7 years old boy). I am very active, I like to involve children in the activities that libraries provide. I like to sing, dance, reads books, do art projects, do sensory activities and very much love being outdoors exploring the nature. I have been certified in pediatric, adult first Aid/CPR/AED and early intervention. I am non smoker and comfortable with pets. I am fully vaccinated against COVID-19 and I have my own transportation. Feel free to contact me. Thanks. Mery

We feel extremely fortunate that timing worked out and Mery could help us out with our daughter. Mery watched my daughter for 6 days in a row in the morning/afternoon while I was on modified bed rest for my second pregnancy. She was absolutely wonderful with my active and crazy 2 year old. Mery kept her busy and entertained, and did a very impressive job at diffusing her tantrums. She is patient and has a calm presence, which is very important for toddlers when meeting someone new. She is fully engaged, confident and knowledgeable with children, and came with tons of personal and past experience working with children of all types. We felt confident that our daughter was being cared for and loved, and was in safe hands. Mery is also bilingual, which will be a plus with many families. I very highly recommend Mery and hope she will continue working with my family in the years to come.
