My name is Maria, I am 39 years old, and I have been providing childcare on and off since the age of 14 and am a mother to a neurodivergent 9yo. Most of my income as a teenager came from babysitting. I also worked at an esteemed preschool and childcare center for two years in my early 20s. I absolutely adore children and love being around them. I have experience with all age groups and I also have experience caring for children with special needs (developmental disabilities, physical disabilities, ADHD, food allergies, etc. I am certified in CPR, First Aid, and AED. Resume, references, and letters of recommendation are available upon request.
