Meet Mary

Hi, my name is Mary Elizabeth. I live in Newport News, Virginia. I have about 10 years of various babysitting, nannying, and child care experiences, assisting with before-school care as well as daily child care and basic housekeeping duties for a range of ages. I have attended some college at State University of New York at Cobleskill in 2018, as an Early Childhood Development Major. While attending college in New York, I also had a great opportunity to do 200 hours of my practicum field experience in the toddler classroom of the campus child development center. I supervised children, planned activities and lessons, and worked with the Reggio Emilia philosophy. I greatly look forward to the future, gaining more experience, and working with children and families. I am currently completing several CLEP courses, and from there will pursue my dual Associate Degree at Virginia Peninsula Community College for Early Childhood Read more and Business Administration. (See more about my previous college work under my E-Portfolio tab) A special topic that interests me is advocating literacy with children and families. I love to read and look forward to having opportunities to encourage children to appreciate reading, writing, and learning both in and outside the classroom. I am always looking to promote literacy through reading and expanding the knowledge of the children in my care. I have had many great babysitting and nannying opportunities in the past and loved my work with each of them! I can’t wait to see what I can do to have a positive impact on children and their families in the future.
