About Maria
Experience: 10 yrs
Hi families! My name is Maria, and I bring over 7 years of experience as a Special Education Teacher working with children with a wide range of learning needs, abilities, and personalities. Through my work in education, I've developed strong skills in creating structured, supportive, and engaging environments that help children thrive. I have extensive experience working with students with diverse learning requirements, including developmental delays, autism, ADHD, and other individualized needs. I enjoy working closely with families to create care plans and routines that best support each child's unique strengths and needs. In addition to my professional background, I am also a new mom to a baby boy, which has deepened my appreciation for nurturing, patience, and creating a safe, loving environment for children.
