Experience: 8 yrs
Becoming a caregiver was a natural step after positive experiences babysitting. I enjoy supporting families by providing reliable childcare. With four years of experience caring for children aged 0-8, I am comfortable watching up to two children. I am patient, calm, friendly, and approachable. I have experience with kids with special needs including ADHD and autism. I communicate with parents by following their preferred communication methods. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and enjoy a respectful environment . I like playing outdoor sports, board games, and puzzles with children . I speak English and Spanish, have a car, and am comfortable with pets. I look forward to hearing from you!
Maria Paula has been with our family for the past 4 years! She is truly amazing with our two special needs boys - caring, patient, compassionate, and willing to do whatever needs to be done to support our family! We have been so fortunate to have her caring for our children. She is warm and intuitive — always anticipating needs before we do. Our kids adore her and flourish under her guidance: she creates engaging, age-appropriate activities, maintains consistent routines, and handles transitions calmly. Punctual, communicative, and professional, she keeps us updated with thoughtful daily notes and photos. She is trustworthy with our home and flexible when our schedule changes. We highly recommend her to any family seeking a caring, supportive, competent, smart, sweet, loving, and committed caregiver. Would be more than happy to share our experience with anyone considering her to join! We are truly sad that she cannot continue with our family due to location - the family that she ends up with will be so lucky!
