About Maria

Fostering a child's growth and development is my true passion, and I am dedicated to making a positive impact on the lives of the families I support. With over 20 years of experience as a Certified Teacher and a graduate degree, I bring a patient, calm, and approachable demeanor to every interaction. I am comfortable caring for up to four children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. I enjoy engaging children through outdoor sports, board games, and educational activities that promote learning. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules and am happy to assist with light housekeeping. I prioritize your preferred communication method, whether that is a text update or a verbal summary at pickup or wrap up time. I look forward to the opportunity to provide reliable, nurturing care for your family and becoming a trusted partner in your children's daily lives.
