Finding care for an infant and leaving them with someone outside your home for the first time will always be stressful, but Mary helped make our family’s transition from my maternity leave back to work so much easier. We started our daughter at Nanny’s Place at 5 months and our experience has been great. Our baby loves Mary and getting dropped off each day, and from the daily pictures and videos she texts us, our daughter is having a blast with the other kids while there. Mary’s space is great for young kids including a spacious backyard with plenty of toys, books, and activities. The hours she offers are also ideal for our busy family with two working parents. Moreover, because Mary only watches a small number of children at a time, we've been able to feel confident our baby is getting all the attention she needs (while still getting really good socialization from other kids...but not getting constantly sick from exposure to tons of kids). It's been a great balance for our family. Beyond all that, it’s obvious that Mary is passionate about childcare and loves all of the children she has cared for over the years. She is a staple of the neighborhood and we’ve met many of the children of neighbors and families she watched in the past who remain part of her circle because of the impact she made on them. I’d highly recommend Mary to anyone looking for daycare for their little one. You’ll be in excellent hands with her!
