About Maria

I am a responsible, caring, and dependable childcare professional with experience working with children in both Brazil and the United States. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age children in private family homes. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Biomedical Sciences and CPR/First Aid certification, which support my strong understanding of child health, safety, hygiene, and overall well-being. I focus on creating a safe, structured, and nurturing environment where children can grow and thrive. My experience includes managing daily routines such as meals, naps, hygiene, school schedules, and transportation, as well as planning educational, creative, and developmental activities. I am patient, organized, and adaptable, and I build strong, trusting relationships with children and families. Fluent in English and Portuguese, I am comfortable in multicultural environments and also support light household organization when needed.
