About Maria Missy

Caring for others is at the heart of who I am, and caring for children is what I love most. Family means everything to me. I care for my elderly parents (that's my mom in most of my photos!), so I know how much trust it takes to welcome someone into your home. For almost 10 years, I was a school bus driver for children of all ages, including children with special needs. That taught me patience, flexibility, and how to meet each child where they are. Education is close to my heart. I'm completing my MBA this December, have a background in early childhood education, and am a certified substitute teacher. I love sparking curiosity through outdoor play, puzzles, and homework help. I'm calm, consistent, and follow your household rules. I'm CPR and First Aid certified and happy to help with pickups, light meal prep, and tidying up, with updates however works best for you. I treat EVERY child with the love I'd want for my own and would be honored to join your family's village.
