About Maria

Experience: 20 yrs

20 years of experience have fueled my passion for nurturing young minds. I hold a graduate degree and have supplemented my education with Early Child Development coursework. My background includes First Aid Training, CPR Training, and doula experience. As a certified teacher, I am patient, creative, and approachable. I enjoy playing board games, puzzles, and outdoor sports with children. I am comfortable enforcing household rules. I am happy to help with cooking, light housekeeping, carpooling, travel, and swimming supervision. I will always follow your preferred method of communication. I have a car, am comfortable with pets, and am only comfortable caring for one child at a time. I speak English, French, and Spanish. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and love for childcare to your family.

I cannot recommend Maria highly enough. She has been with our family since my son was two weeks old, and she has been a lifesaver during a challenging time. Not only did she care for my son with love and dedication, but she also supported me during my postpartum recovery. Maria goes above and beyond—cooking, cleaning, organizing, and managing our home. Though more expensive than most, she is worth every penny. Maria is family!! We’re only parting ways because my son is starting Montessori.
