About Maria

Hi! My legal name is Maria, but I go by my middle name, Stephanie. I have 20+ years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teens. I currently work full-time in a Pre-K classroom at a daycare center, helping them with daily routines, learning, and social-emotional growth. I'm also a proud mom to a teen, so I understand the balance of patience, love, and structure kids need. Over the years, I've been a teacher, nanny, babysitter, camp counselor, and kids' karate instructor. I'm bilingual in English and Spanish, CPR/First Aid certified, and happy to help with meal prep, diapering, potty training, light housekeeping, and creative play. I have excellent references who can speak to my nurturing, dependable nature. If you're looking for someone with real-life parenting experience, early childhood knowledge, and a genuine love for kids, I'd love to connect with your family!
