About Maria

Experience: 4 yrs

Making a positive impact on children's lives is what I strive for! With four years of experience caring for children aged 2-10, I offer a patient, calm, creative, and friendly approach. I have 2 years of experience working at a daycare, as-well nannying and babysitting experience. I am comfortable caring for three children at a time. I have some college experience in Early Childhood Education. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games. I am also very comfortable enforcing household rules. Communication is key, and I always follow parents' preferred method to keep you informed about your child's day. I am CPR and First Aid certified. My goal is to provide a nurturing and fun environment where your little one(s) can thrive. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I'm eager to bring my love for childcare to your family.

She was wonderful as a summertime nanny and occasional weekend or out of town nanny. She cooks, cleans up after the kids, and follows their schedule. She has the kids participating in community activities such as splash pads and parks. I’d recommend her to anyone!
