About Maria

Caring for children and watching them learn, grow, and shine has always been something really special to me and is what inspired my path to becoming an educator. I'm currently in college studying to become a teacher and bring the same sense of curiosity, creativity, and patience into every caregiving experience. With over 10 years of hands-on experiences - starting with my younger brothers and expanding to children of all ages - I've truly come to value each stage of childhood. I am comfortable caring for up to four kids and love creating playful, engaging experiences through game, outdoor activities, and creative play that build confidence and sparking imagination. I am kind, attentive, and confident in maintaining a balance of fun and structure. I prioritize clear, thoughtful communication with parents and am happy to provide updates however you prefer. I'd love the opportunity to bring my experience, heart, and future-teacher energy into your home - and I am totally pet friendly!
