About Maria

Experience: 6 yrs

Aspiring polyglot that is fiercely curious, resilient, and nurturing, I've supported women and families since 2015 as a full-spectrum doula and co-founder of two doula collectives in VA. I'm currently a sub/directress at an AMI-certified Montessori school with training in VA Child Abuse, Daily Health Screening, Infant & Adult CPR/First Aid, and a up-to-date TB screening. I offer experienced child care, including nannying and babysitting, grounded in Montessori principles and holistic support. I also provide reliable pet sitting and house cleaning services. Since 2021, I've completed successful sits across the U. S. through Trusted Housesitters (10+ verified reviews). I bring care, professionalism, and a deep respect for each home, child, and animal I support.

Maria was wonderful with our Rottweiler and Cane Corso! She was caring, dependable, and attentive to both dogs’ individual needs. Caring for two large breeds can be a big responsibility, but Maria handled them with confidence and patience. She kept us updated, followed our instructions carefully, and made sure our dogs were comfortable, safe, and well cared for. It gave us great peace of mind knowing they were in such good hands. We would definitely recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy and caring pet sitter. We would happily have her care for our dogs again!
