About Mariana

I am a creative and loving caregiver with over a decade of experience in early childhood development. My expertise includes guiding newborns and young children through sign language, sensory play, Montessori-inspired activities, and baby-led weaning for food introduction. I believe in guided and independent play, diversifying daily routines to keep children curious and engaged. I emphasize outdoor exploration and sensory-rich activities to ensure your child has fun while feeling safe. I communicate effectively with parents, sharing updates and pictures to keep you informed. I hold a graduate degree, am CPR-certified, and fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. Having worked for the city of San Clemente, I can provide excellent references. Let's connect to discuss how I can support your child's growth!
