Maryann | Former Teacher, Gentle Soul & Master of Education Student
Hi, I'm Maryann. I'm currently studying my Master of Education at the University of Waikato. Before moving to New Zealand, I was a primary school teacher in India and also volunteered at Mother Teresa’s home, caring for both young children and the elderly. I’m a calm, caring presence who brings patience, kindness, and genuine love to every interaction. Whether it’s singing songs, reading stories, or just being present with tamariki, I take pride in creating safe, joyful spaces where children feel seen and loved. I’ve worked with children aged 2 to 8 and am more than happy to help out with infants or school-aged kids as well. I hold First Aid certification and am police vetted. ⭐️ What I'm Great at: - Experience as a primary school teacher (ages 3–8) - Master of Education student - First Aid certified + police vetted - Comfortable with infants to tweens - Patient, nurturing and softly spoken - Can support homework, learning, and gentle care routines
