About Maria

Hello, my name is Maria! I've been caring for children since high school, starting with babysitting for my own family and later for family friends and referrals. Over the years, I've realized just how much I love working with kids and being part of their growth and development. I'd describe myself as passionate, approachable, responsible, creative, and energetic. I enjoy reading with children, doing fun crafts, and encouraging creativity. I'm a UCLA graduate, and while I'm still exploring my long-term career path, one thing I know for sure is that I want to continue working with children. I also have professional experience as a behavioral technician, where I worked with children on the autism spectrum. That experience deepened my commitment to providing patient, supportive, and engaging care for children with diverse needs and backgrounds. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide safe, fun, and reliable care for your child!
