I'm an experienced childcare provider with a passion for nurturing and educating children. With over four years in the field, I have a deep understanding of child development and age-appropriate activities. My friendly and patient nature creates a safe and stimulating environment for children to learn and grow. I also have experience preparing meals, doing laundry, driving them around for activities, teaching Portuguese, potty training, and getting them ready for school. I take pride in my ability to communicate effectively with parents, keeping them informed about their child's day and promptly addressing any concerns. I'm also comfortable enforcing household rules and maintaining a structured routine. I enjoy engaging children in a variety of play that fosters learning and creativity. My fluency in both English and Portuguese allows me to connect with families from diverse backgrounds. I am available to care for up to three children, ranging from infants to preteens.
Maria is so wonderful! We are very sad she is moving. She's been taking care of my 2 year old a couple times a week for the last 3 months and wish we found her sooner! My son has so much fun with her! She is very energetic, reliable and keeps him safe. My son is high energy, no screen time and determined to be outside (no matter the weather) which she's handled amazingly. They regularly took trips to nearby playgrounds as well. Bonus- she did great with my dog too!
