About Maria

I like working with kids because they are full of joy! I love seeing the world through my toddlers eyes, and have always enjoyed the wonder and excitement for life that children have. I love doing something different everyday, achieving goals both big and small, and exploring nature with little curious minds. I started working with kids over 10 years ago. I babysat on weekends while studying for my degree. During my practicum I worked with kids with disabilities. I've also nannied for a family with 2 boys, worked respite care, worked in ABA, and gave birth to my baby boy! I like to make and build things, go on adventures with my family, draw, paint, organize, decorate, cook, bake, dance, & paddleboard! One thing you should know about me is that I am not your average nanny! My previous nanny family used to call me Mary Poppins. I enjoy caregiving people of all ages, backgrounds, and those with special needs. I love to make learning fun by teaching through play, music, and art.
