About Mary

I’m a certified special education teacher and behavioral specialist with 5 years of experience caring for infants through elementary-aged children in homes, classrooms, and tutoring settings. I’ve taught STEM and art at a private school, managed self-contained special education classrooms, and provided in-home childcare and academic support focused on reading and early math. My approach is calm, patient, and structured, with an emphasis on social-emotional skills, routines, and positive behavior support so children feel safe, confident, and understood. I’m comfortable supporting neurodivergent kids, following therapy recommendations, and creating hands-on, creative activities tailored to each child’s interests and developmental level. Families can count on me to communicate clearly, respect their parenting style, and provide reliable, nurturing care.
