About Maria

Hello! My name is Maria, and I have over eight years of experience in early childhood education, most recently as a school director and educator coach. While I've loved leading programs and supporting teachers, I've decided to step away from admin to return back to caring for children and connecting with families. I've worked extensively with infants, toddlers, and preschoolers supporting their growth through sensory play, songs, movement, and routines that help them feel safe and confident. With my background in curriculum design, I naturally incorporate activities that encourage early learning. I am CPR/First Aid certified, attentive to safety, and committed to following your family's values and routines. Families who've worked with me describe me as warm, reliable, and deeply invested in the children I care for. Happy to help with household tasks, transportation, cooking/meal prep, and light housekeeping. I can share references upon request.
