About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

As a certified teacher with seven years of childcare experience, I am passionate about fostering children's growth and development. I have a natural ability to create a safe and nurturing environment where children can thrive. My patient and calm demeanor, coupled with my creativity and imagination, allows me to connect with children on a deep level. I believe in open and honest communication with parents and always follow their preferred method of communication. I am comfortable enforcing household rules as directed by the parents and am experienced in a variety of games that promote physical activity, mental stimulation, and learning. Whether we're exploring the outdoors, playing board games, or engaging in educational activities, I strive to make every moment a fun and enriching experience for the children in my care. I am confident that I can provide a loving and supportive environment for your child and help them reach their full potential.
