Hi! My name is Maria, and I am a student at Fordham University. I have been working as a babysitter since 2025, with experience caring for babies and toddlers up to 2 years old. I am also comfortable caring for children of different ages and I like getting to know each child's personality and needs. I am patient, responsible, and genuinely enjoy spending time with children. I like keeping them engaged through activities such as board games, puzzles, reading and playing together. I also value following each family's preferences and routines, including their communication style and household rules. I am comfortable around pets, as I have pets of my own! I am a native Portuguese speaker and would be happy to speak Portuguese with children if their families are interested in introducing them to a new language or giving them an opportunity to practice it. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become a trusted babysitter for your children!
Maria has watched my son since he was 5 months old and continues to do so. He is now 18 months. We started off with date nights and then slowly transitioned to more days and longer hours. My son absolutely loves her! She is patient, kind and the type of sitter that can keep her cool with a crying baby! She is also very caring and interactive with my son. I would highly recommend Maria!
