About Maria

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi, I'm Maria, a dedicated and dependable nanny with over 10 years of professional experience caring for children of all ages. I recently cared for a baby girl from three months to 19 months, supporting her growth with loving care and age-appropriate developmental activities. I create safe, nurturing, and engaging environments that foster emotional, social, cognitive, and physical development. I enjoy planning activities like reading, music, sensory play, outdoor exploration, and creative projects that spark curiosity, confidence, and learning. Patient, organized, and reliable, I take pride in building trusting relationships with children and families. Outside of work, I love hiking, snowboarding, cooking, and spending time outdoors, incorporating these interests into fun, enriching routines. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, supported, and encouraged, and I look forward to joining a family to provide thoughtful, dependable care.

Maria has been with us since my baby was 5.5 months old. He’s now 11 months and she really has become his best friend. She takes time to really play with him and teach him things and he gets excited everytime she comes over. 10/10 recommend!
