Hello! My name is Maria Laura, and I have four years of experience caring for children of all ages. I have a soft spot for babies 9 months and up, toddlers, and school-age kids, and I am comfortable with up to two children. I bring a calm, warm, and patient presence to every family I work with. I am responsible, punctual, and organized, and I take pride in creating a safe environment where children feel comfortable and supported. I adapt quickly to each family's routines and always follow parents' preferred communication style. I genuinely enjoy spending quality time with the kids I care for, whether we are playing outside, working on a puzzle, or just being silly and playful. I am also happy to help with meal preparation and light housekeeping. I am reliable, easy to communicate with, and truly committed to the children in my care. I would love to bring my warmth and dedication to your family!
Maria Laura first came to live and work with our family through an au pair program and stayed on with us afterward. As any parent can imagine, having someone live in your home and help care for your children requires an enormous amount of trust, communication, patience, and skill — and Maria Laura exceeded our expectations in every way. She worked with our four children, including two children with autism, and handled a wide variety of responsibilities with compassion, maturity, and consistency. She assisted not only with childcare, but also with helping the children stay organized and supported in their daily routines. In addition, she helped keep the home clean and organized, did laundry, assisted with meal preparation, grocery shopping, and transportation. Maria Laura is extremely trustworthy, dependable, punctual, and responsible. She is calm under pressure, competent behind the wheel, and wonderful with children. She became an important part of our family, and we truly felt blessed to have her with us for so long. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any future family. I would absolutely be happy to speak personally with anyone considering hiring her. She will be a tremendous asset to any home lucky enough to have her. - Laura C.
