About Maria

Hi! I'm Maria, an experienced educator and childcare professional with over 10 years of experience working with children and more than 7 years in special education and behavioral support. I've worked with children of varying ages and abilities as a special education teacher, Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), behavior technician, coach, and caregiver. My background has given me extensive experience supporting children with developmental, behavioral, and special needs while creating safe, structured, and engaging environments. I also have nursing and CNA training, which has strengthened my ability to remain calm, attentive, and safety-focused when caring for children. I'm warm, dependable, energetic, and especially passionate about building strong relationships with the children and families I work with. I believe great childcare is about more than supervision-it's about helping children feel safe, understood, confident, and genuinely cared for.
