About Maria

Making a positive impact on children's lives is something I'm passionate about! My previous babysitting roles solidified my desire to become a caregiver. I have one year of experience caring for children and I am comfortable caring for one child at a time. I have completed some college coursework in Early Child Development. My personality is patient, calm, creative, friendly, and approachable. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, educational games, and technology-based games with children. I offer verbal communication at pickup and regular updates via text, or by following your preferred method. I am CPR and First Aid certified. I am happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I speak English and Portuguese. I'm excited to bring my skills and enthusiasm to your family and create a nurturing environment where your child can thrive.
