About Maira
Experience: 10 yrs
Hello, Thank you for taking an interest in me as a possible Nanny for your child/children. I would like to share a few things with you that stand out about my professional work as a nanny. • I have about 20 years of experience caring for children. I have an Associates Degree in Human Services, and I am gradually taking courses to complete an undergraduate degree in Applied Behavioral Science. • I am a good story teller. • I love reading to children out loud. I encourage them to read to me. • I am crafty and creative. • I like technology, but I encourage children to play outdoors, or occupied with indoor activities with minimal screen time. About my interactivity with children: • I am empathetic and value their thoughts and feelings. • I empower them by giving them choices and opportunities to understand accountability and consequences. • I am a strong believer in positive reinforcement. I also have great references. Please message me to discuss availability. Thank you.
Most recent review
Maira joined our family in January of 2023 just a few weeks before our second child was born. She quickly and effortlessly earned the love and trust of our two year old son, and went above and beyond to support all of us through this exciting new change and transition from one child to two. She was always flexible, dependable, trustworthy, nurturing, and easy to communicate with about anything and everything. As our children grew, Maira was an important part of their lives. She drove them to and from school and activities, fed them delicious meals, cleaned up and organized their ridiculous amounts of toys, and made each and every day fun and exciting for them! She built positive relationships with both of our children, and she truly fit in as a member of our family. She is incredibly creative, enthusiastic, energetic, caring, and kind. Maira is an active listener, and is eager to help when needed. She takes great pride in all that she does, and she is incredibly thoughtful and a positive role model for children. We were so lucky to work with her for almost two and a half years, and we highly recommend her for all care-giving needs.
