About Maria

Hello families! My name is Maria, and I'm a dedicated, loving, and responsible caregiver with a strong background in early childhood education. I studied at a Normal Superior school in Colombia, specializing in teaching , and I've been passionate about helping children learn and grow ever since. I have several years of experience working with children of all ages -- from infants to school-age kids -- both as a professional nanny and as an Au Pair in the United States. I also worked in preschools back in Colombia, where I supported classroom activities, created educational games, and encouraged positive routines that helped children feel confident and happy. Families describe me as warm, patient, and reliable. I love singing songs, reading stories, and planning creative activities that help children explore the world around them. I believe in maintaining a balance of love, structure, and fun -- creating a safe environment where kids can feel secure and thrive.
