About Maria

Hello! My name is Maria, and I'm a caring, responsible, and reliable individual with a passion for working with families, children, and pets. Along with caregiving, I enjoy tutoring and helping kids grow in a positive, supportive environment. I also have extensive experience with dog walking and pet sitting, ensuring pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I bring a caring approach and a love of learning to everything I do. I'm here to create a safe, nurturing space for children and pets alike and to lend a hand with daily routines, homework, or fun, educational activities. My goal is to build trust with both parents and kids, while also making sure furry family members feel happy and comfortable. Need a tutor? I'm your girl! I have a passion for education, with my bachelors and masters in Environmental Science conferred from Loyola University Chicago, and as a current doctoral student in Epidemiology. I enjoy helping learners of all ages.
