My name is Maria. I'm 44 years old, I'm divorced and I have 2 kids a girl of 18 and a boy of 20 we live in Santa Clara ca. The first family I worked with, nearly 20 years ago, had both twins and triplets! After that I worked with a family in Mountain View from the time their children were newborns until they were 12 years old. One of the children had Autism Spectrum Disorder, so I developed experience working with children with special needs. After moving to Modesto I worked with a family with with a boy from age 3 months until 3 years when the family moved. For the last two years I worked with two families together (shared nanny) that have two 2. 5-year-old girls and a baby of 11 months. My children and I have moved back to the Sunnyvale area to be closer to extended family. My last family was in Fremont Ca. with a 2 yr old boy but he is starting school so my help is no longer needed. I stop working with them as of June 2 2025 and I'm looking for a new family!

We feel so lucky to have had Maria care for our son, she was truly wonderful. From the very beginning, she had a natural way with him, and it didn’t take long for them to build a strong, loving bond. Our son always felt safe, happy, and engaged when he was with her. Maria is dependable, organized, and always on time. She kept us in the loop about how the day went and followed a great routine that really helped our son thrive. She was also super flexible, whenever we needed her to stay a bit later, she was more than willing to help out, which we really appreciated. On top of that, she also helped us by picking up our daughter from school, which was a huge help during our busy afternoons and work schedules. One of our favorite things about Maria was how she made each day fun and meaningful. She often took our son to the local library for story time, where they’d read books and enjoy the activities together. It was something he looked forward to every week. Maria brought so much warmth and care into our home. She’s kind, experienced, and genuinely loves working with kids. We would absolutely have her back if we have another child. Any family would be lucky to have her. We’ll miss her so much!
