About Maria

For over 10 years, I've nurtured children's growth and development, driven by my passion to positively impact their lives. My approach is patient, calm, creative, and friendly. I am comfortable caring for up to three children of any age, and I follow the parents' lead when enforcing household rules. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, and educational games that promote learning. I communicate with parents through written daily reports and regular updates via text or phone call, always following their preferred method. With a college degree, certification as a teacher, and coursework in Elementary and Early Child Development, I'm well-equipped to provide enriching care. I'm happy to help with cooking, carpooling, light housekeeping, travel, crafts, and swimming supervision. I have a car and am comfortable with pets. I am also CPR and First Aid trained. It would be a joy to bring my experience and enthusiasm to your family.
