Thank you for checking out my profile! I am extremely passionate about supporting families in all stages - life is hard but with good support there's so much more time and space to slow down and enjoy it. I love being the person who supports your family unit, whether your toddler is running around colouring the walls or your parents need support as they age, I'm here to listen and get to work. I've been working with children over a decade as a long term nanny, a last minute sitter and as a professional with a full team caring for kids. I've run summer camps and weekend children's programs as well as assisted teaching in special education for high school students. I've had security training, water rescue training, CPR and first aid training. I'm comfortable with light housework and welcome the opportunity to teach kids safe cooking skills. Don't hesitate to ask any questions, I'm really excited to get to know your family!
I cannot speak highly enough about Maria and the incredible level of care she provides. From the moment she began caring for our child, it was clear that she is not only experienced and knowledgeable but also deeply passionate about child development and well-being. Maria has a natural gift with children. She is warm, patient, and endlessly attentive, creating a nurturing environment where our child felt safe, loved, and engaged. Her calm demeanor and positive energy set the tone for a happy, structured, and stimulating atmosphere. She consistently goes above and beyond—whether it’s organizing creative educational activities, helping with routines, or just offering a listening ear when our child needed it. What sets Maria apart is her intuition and professionalism. She quickly adapted to our family’s specific needs and maintained excellent communication, always keeping us informed and involved. Her ability to manage even the most unpredictable situations with grace and confidence gave us complete peace of mind. Our child thrived under Maria’s care—not just emotionally, but socially and intellectually. We’ve seen remarkable growth in language skills, emotional expression, and independence, and we attribute much of that progress to Maria’s thoughtful and consistent approach. To put it simply, Maria is a rare gem. Any family would be lucky to have her, and we feel incredibly fortunate to have had her in our lives. We recommend her wholeheartedly and without reservation.
