About Maria

Hi, my name is Maria! I am a bilingual experienced nanny, and former Pre-K Teacher with 16 years of experience, specializing in the developmental years of 1 to 5. I focus on Emotional Intelligence. I like teaching children the tools for self-regulation and validating their feelings to build lifelong confidence. I offer specialized expertise in supporting children with ASD and ADHD, providing a patient, structured and loving environment where they thrive. My educational style is holistic, inspired by Waldorf and Reggio Emilia. I prioritize hands-on and all weather nature exploration. To support language development I provide Spanish immersion through play, using ASL (American Sign Language). I am CPR trained, a non-smoker and I have reliable transportation. I am happy to assist with light tidying and meal prep to help your household.
