About Maria

Experience: 4 yrs

Hi! I'm María - a lawyer, nanny, and author of Someone New is Coming to Take Care of Me, a children's book born from a real bond with a little girl who forever changed my heart. Written with love and experience, my book helps children feel safe when someone new comes to care for them. I've cared for newborns and older kids, and I'm CPR and CPI certified. I also worked at a shelter for unaccompanied minors, where I supported children through fear, uncertainty, and emotional challenges. I hold a bachelor's and a master's degree from my home country. I believe that caring for a child is more than a job - it's an act of love, presence, and deep responsibility. That's what I bring to every family I support.

Maria was a truly exceptional nanny for my son, and I feel incredibly fortunate that we had the chance to work with her. She brought not only warmth and kindness, but also a deep sense of responsibility and professionalism. Maria has a natural gift with children—she connected with my son in a way that was both nurturing and inspiring. She planned creative, engaging activities and took him on adventures that sparked his curiosity, and encouraged his independence. Maria was also incredibly easy to communicate with, dependable in every way, and respectful of our family’s routines and values. I would enthusiastically and without hesitation recommend Maria to any parent. She is not only an amazing caregiver, but someone who brings joy, thoughtfulness, and a sense of calm to what she does. Your child would be lucky to spend time in her care.
