About Maria

Experience: 5 yrs

Providing reliable, high-quality care for your family is my top priority. With five years of experience, I have developed a patient and calm approach that helps children feel secure and engaged. I hold a college degree and maintain current CPR Training and First Aid Training. I am comfortable caring for up to three children, ranging from infants to pre-teens. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or working on crafts, I focus on creating a fun and safe environment. I am happy to assist with meal preparation, carpooling, and housekeeping to support your daily routine. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules and will follow your preferred communication method to keep you updated on your child's day. Since I am a skilled swimmer, I am happy to provide swimming supervision for your little ones. I look forward to becoming a trusted part of your family's life.

I highly recommend her as a babysitter! She took wonderful care of my two children, ages 4 and 7. She was always kind, patient, and responsible, making sure they were safe while also keeping them engaged with fun and age-appropriate activities. My kids really enjoyed spending time with her. She is trustworthy, reliable, and truly cares about the children she looks after. I would absolutely hire her again.
