About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi! I'm a nanny and mother of two who loves caring for babies and toddlers. I enjoy discovering what makes each child laugh, what comforts them, and how they explore the world. I'm calm, patient, and nurturing. I fill our days with books, songs, play, and outdoor adventures while following each child's routine and pace. As a parent, I understand the trust involved in choosing a caregiver and value open communication with families. I finished high school in Mexico and studied economics at university for one year without completing my degree. Since 2019, I've owned an online business selling products from Mexico, remotely managing three full-time employees. I speak fluent English and native Spanish and enjoy sharing Spanish through everyday activities. My hobbies include crocheting and listening to audiobooks. During naps, I'm happy to help with children's laundry and tidy their play spaces.

Maria is one of our favorite nannies. She was wonderful with our two boys and our whole family. Maria was with us for over three years. She brought positive energy and a fun attitude when she came to work every day. The boys loved doing art, playing outside, and cooking with her. She also made great food the kids liked and did some light housekeeping. We moved out of the area otherwise we would still have Maria helping our family. We miss her!
