About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

With over 20 years of experience in housekeeping and childcare, I bring a warm, trustworthy, and detail-oriented presence to every home. Since 2004, I've worked full-time for a wonderful family, caring for their three children and maintaining their home with the utmost care. Now that the kids are in college, I'm looking to support a new family. I'm known for being dependable, loyal, and hardworking. My duties have included full housekeeping, childcare, cooking (I love preparing healthy, home-cooked Brazilian and Italian meals), driving to school/activities, household management, pet care, and travel. I'm also a proud mother and grandmother, fluent in English and Portuguese, and a U. S. citizen. I take great pride in treating every home with love and respect. If you think I may be a good fit, I'd love to meet and see how I can help your family.

Zilda has been with our family for 20 years and is truly incredible. She helped raise my children (and my best friend’s kids), and I couldn’t have asked for a more loving, trustworthy, and loyal caretaker. She is a meticulous housekeeper, an excellent cook, and a hard worker who takes pride in everything she does. Most importantly, she became part of our family and gave our kids guidance, warmth, and care that will stay with them forever. Any family would be lucky to have her.
