Hi! I'm Mary—a local Realtor, business owner, and mom to two fun little ones (ages 1 and 3).
I'm looking for a warm, dependable, and engaging nanny to become part of our family's weekly routine. As a small business owner, my personal and professional life naturally intertwine, making this a unique opportunity for someone who enjoys childcare but is also curious about entrepreneurship, marketing, or real estate.
While your primary role will always be caring for our children, you'll also get a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to build and run a modern real estate business.

Social media and content creation
Building a small business
Sales and client relationships
I'm happy to share what I've learned and provide mentorship along the way. You'll get an authentic behind-the-scenes look at running a real estate business—from marketing and client meetings to negotiations, listings, and everything in between.
This isn't a requirement or expectation—it's simply an opportunity available to someone who's interested!
