About Maria
Experience: 4 yrs
I enjoy working with children and supporting them in their growth. My previous babysitting experiences solidified my desire to support families by providing reliable care. I have four years of experience caring for children aged newborn to 11, including toddlers and preschoolers. I hold a graduate degree and am comfortable caring for up to two children. I am patient, friendly, and lovely. I enjoy playing outdoor games, board games, puzzles, and some technology-based games with children. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I communicate with parents through verbal updates and regular texts, always following your preferred method. I am also CPR and First Aid certified. I am comfortable with pets and have a car. I would love to bring my calm and caring approach to your family, creating a fun and safe environment for your children.
Most recent review
I highly recommend Valentina, who was a live-in caregiver for our family. After a year and a half with us she became an invaluable part of our daily lives. Valentina is responsible, caring, patient and dedicated to the well-being and development of children. During her time with us, she ensured our kids were engaged, safe, and happy. She drove them to and from school and a variety of activities. Her driving skills, good judgement and reliability gave us great peace of mind. In addition, we loved that she was able to naturally incorporate Spanish into the children's routines, helping them learn and feel comfortable with a second language. She is organized, proactive, and was a wonderful support to our family. We are grateful for the time she spent with us and would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy and nurturing caregiver.
