Mallary P.

Hello, my name is Mallary, and I am CPR/First Aid trained. I graduated from Appalachian State University, in Boone, North Carolina in 2017 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Child Development. I was fortunate enough to do my practicum at Lucy Brock, which is a well-known child development center and lab program. This lab program allowed me to work with and observe children all over the spectrum and with special needs. Along with that I worked in a daycare all throughout my college career. I love being able to help children and their families in any way I can, because I believe all children are competent and capable. I obtained my Master of Arts in Education in Birth through Kindergarten at East Carolina University in December 2020. I have nanny experience, teaching experience, and experience as an Assistant Director. am looking for a new adventure and excited and eager to expand my knowledge within this field and hoping to start that journey with you!
