Hi, I'm Marci! I bring nurture, patience, reliability, and a fun-loving demeanor. I enjoy going for walks, organizational projects, spending time with family, and exploring the city. Here to lighten your day-to-day load as an added extension of your family. I welcome collaboration, open communication, and friendly demeanors of all. I enjoy being a nanny knowing that I am helping foster environments and routines for families. Building connections with guardians and children that last past the job bring me a sense of joy. I've been fortunate to be able to build trust and provide quality care as professional nanny for more than 5 years. Although I've cared for children from infant to teen, my care of focus has centered around children under 2-years old. I'm versed in infant care; helping to create and incorporate consistent routines for sleep, feeding, changing, and development. Children thrive in my care because of my patience, attentiveness, and firm, but gentle boundaries. I create opportunities for little/big personalities to blossom with a sense of curiosity, confidence, and independence. Basic care needs pertaining to child(ren) are provided in a safe and proactive manner. Spaces used are maintained. All activites are incorporated and encouraged from educational activities, storytime, sensory play, arts & crafts, games, imaginative play, outdoor fun, and homework help. I'm allergic to cats. I look forward to collaborating working with your family! References available at request.
“Marci was amazing with our 4 year old and 1 year old. Very attentive, caring and kind. Our kids had a great time. ”
Growing up my grandma owned a daycare and I would help her take care of kids and plan arts and crafts time for them. I also have recent experience over the past 2 summers of working at a stay away camp looking over multiple different age groups of kids over the age of 6 full time. After my first summer I was promoted to leader of my cabin group and have learned to keep things together, better my communication, and still keep kids happy! Pets wise, I have 3 cats and a dog so I know how to manage!
