I have been working with kids for 20 years. I have a lot experience with new born kids, including twins. I started with the families most the times when their children are 2 or 3 months old, then I stayed with them until the kids are ready to go to the school. I have my degree in Business Administration and also a CDA. My last job was a preschool teacher with toddlers 1-3 years. I love to work with multicultural families with all respect learning about each/ other.

Maria cared for both of my children, one since he was 6 months and the other from 2 months old. Maria has been an amazing person in our lives and helped both my children with their growth and development. As a new mom, she was very trustworthy and confident with my baby and that was very important to me. She became an integral part of our family and now that my kids are in school we still appreciate and miss her ! We all feel lucky to have such a dependable, capable and caring person in our lives.  

Maria was a God send to us on our vacation to St. Augustine! Our sons Gramma found herself in the hospital and wasn’t able to fill the babysitter role. Maria stepped in and gave our son the care he needed for the three nights my wife and I were out. She showed up on time, was communicative and one of the sweetest ladies we have ever met! Our family is forever indebted to Maria!! We would recommend her over and over again!!!

Maria has been such a blessing to our lives. She has taken care of my daughter over the past two years and is like part of our extended family. Maria is not only reliable, professional, trustworthy, and respectful but she is also truly invested in the development and well being of my child. We feel so lucky that she is a part of our lives and will miss her greatly when our daughter starts school in August! 

Maria is a blessing to my us. My eight month old son lights up when she walks in the door. She is very interactive with him and quickly responds to his needs. Maria has introduced Spanish to my daughter also which we are so grateful for. I would highly recommend Maria for your family!

5 stars wouldn't be enough to describe Maria. She has been a LIFE SAVER the past 2 years. As a single mother & full time real estate agent, I've put my trust in Maria with caring for my 2 year old (began baby-sitting him at 6 months) and I never looked back. She is trustworthy, truly cares, and is a great influence in the up-bringing of my son. You can't go wrong hiring Maria. Every aspect of our time with her has been a 10/10 experience.

Maria is simply the best! She is wonderful to my 15 months old son. She started taking care of him when he was 10 months old, he loves her. She takes him for a walk, reads him books, sings Spanish songs, they have a wonderful time together. She has lots of experience and often gives me great tips on how to take care of my son, which for first time parent are extremely useful. When I leave for work I know that my son is with one of the best nannies out there! I am very thankful for Maria!

Maria started caring for my son when he was 3 months old. She is very good with him, and has become part of our family. My son is now 10 months old and he loves Maria. When she comes to our house his face lights up and he gets excited to see her. She spends a lot of time signing to my son and teaching him Spanish words. Everyday she takes him for a walk in our neighborhood, and now that he's older she takes him to the park to play on the swings, which he really loves. Maria is incredibly dependable, in the 7 months she has been caring for him she has never been late or called out on me. She keeps very detailed notes on how his day goes and sends me text updates throughout the day. When she has downtime during the day she helps me around the house, which I really appreciate, especially with my demanding work schedule. I am so thankful to have found Maria. As a first time mom I was really nervous leaving my baby, but I can rest assure knowing he is getting the very best care. 

Maria has been the biggest blessing! She has cared for my son a few days a week since I went back to work and she made the transition so much more manageable for me. She cares and talks and nurtures my son as if he was her own and I couldn't imagine him being in better hands when I am away! Maria is also incredibly punctual and you can tell she takes great pride and has a real passion for child care.

We had Maria watched our son from 1 month old until 9 months. She was amazing! She worked on developmental skills appropriate for my sons age, sang songs to him, read him books, got down on the floor to play with him and gave him lots of love. His face would light up when she came in the door. She loves kids and stays educated in child development. We also loved the fact that she spoke Spanish to our son. Whenever there was down time Maria would help with keeping the house in ordered. Which was a huge help to me and I was sad when it ended. Maria became a part of our family.

Maria is a wonderful childcare provider!  My daughter has been with Maria since she was 3 months old and she is now 16 months. Maria started out as my nanny traveling 3 days a week to my home, a few months later she decided to open up a day care. After seeing what a wonderful job she'd done I was excited and more than willing to allow my daughter to be a part of her in home daycare.  Maria has a quiet and very clean home that is fit to keep any child busy and entertained.  Thanks to her my daughter understands and speaks the Spanish language, she is friendly, inquisitive, and very bright!  Maria reads my child books, goes over flashes card with her, sings songs and dances to music with her, she teaches her manners, she takes her for walk and trips to the beach in the summer, and has even taken her for trips to the library.
Maria loves what she does and she does a VERY amazing job at it. Your child will be in excellent hands if you decide to place him/her in her day care!
