About Maria

I have over 20 years of experience supporting children's growth and development. My graduate degree has given me a strong foundation to care for and support children from infancy through their teenage years, while understanding the unique needs of each stage. I am a patient, caring, creative, and responsible caregiver who truly enjoys spending time with children through educational activities, outdoor sports, games, and experiences that help them learn and have fun. I am also comfortable supervising children during pool time while always prioritizing their safety. I value clear communication with families, respecting their routines and household rules while providing parents with peace of mind through regular updates about their child's day. I am also happy to help with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and transportation when needed. To me, caring for children means creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment where they can grow, learn, and feel valued.
