Hi I'm Maria- I'm an educator with a Master's Degree in Special Education Birth-21 years, as well as in General Education Early Childhood to grade 6. I have over 20 years experience teaching children of all levels. My focus was Early childhood intervention as well as special education where I taught all subjects. I have a proven track record of improving student grades and test scores. I'm dedicated to creating a personalized interactive and fun learning experience that caters to each student's individual needs.
I honestly can't say enough good things about her. She is truly amazing in every way. From the very first day, she has shown such a genuine love and care for my children, and it has meant the world to me as a parent. My two older kids, ages four and five, absolutely adore her. She takes her time with them in such a patient and thoughtful way. Whether she’s helping them learn something new, walking them through big feelings, or simply listening to them talk about their day, she is always fully present and engaged. What stands out the most is how beautifully she balances nurturing with teaching. She isn’t just someone who watches them while I’m away. She is someone who actively guides them, encourages their growth, and supports their emotional development. I have already seen such positive changes in both of them. They are becoming more confident, more curious, and more thoughtful, and I know a huge part of that is because of her influence. And even with all the energy the older two require, she still manages to give my one-year-old so much love and attention. She picks him up, sings to him, plays with him, and makes sure he feels just as seen and cared for. It touches my heart to watch how naturally she loves each of my children. She doesn’t treat them like a job or a task. She truly sees them, connects with them, and treats them as if they were her own. There is something very rare and special about the way she interacts with children. It’s warm, intentional, and deeply respectful. Knowing my kids are in her care gives me such peace of mind, and I can honestly say that having her in our lives has been one of the greatest gifts. I am beyond grateful for her and would recommend her wholeheartedly to any family.
