My name is Maren Thornbury, I’m 24, and I’ve been working with children for as long as I can remember. I love the way kids see the world and enjoy exploring it alongside them! My experience: When I was old enough (12-13), I began babysitting for my neighbors, picking kids up from the bus and watching them until their parents returned. From 6th to 8th grade, I spent every summer nannying for these families, and I also volunteered in my church daycare. Later, I attended the University of Cincinnati, where I studied English education and worked with elementary students one-on-one to help with schoolwork—I enjoyed those connections I got to make! I took a break from childcare and school during the pandemic from 2020-2022, in summer 2022 I worked as a nanny with Jovie of Indianapolis, caring for two families with children ages 5 to 12. After that, I spent Read more time in a daycare, mainly with the 10-18 month group, but I floated around all the classes. I then rejoined Jovie in 2023 to care for children from infancy through preschool age. In September 2024, I transferred to Jovie in Cincinnati and have continued working as a resource teacher at a daycare with children of all ages. I’m passionate about fostering growth and learning through music, dance, and interactive play. I aim to build strong, trusting relationships while encouraging independence and self-care in children. I believe my ability to connect with kids on their level and nurture their confidence makes me a positive influence in their lives. I’d love to be a part of your family!
