About Maria

Experience: 21 yrs

Hello, my name is Maria. I have over 20 years of experience working with newborn babies, infants , and toddlers. I love kids and now that my own kids are grown, I decided to offer my services as a nanny. I understand how hard it is to find someone trustworthy to care of your little ones, as I struggled with that too when my kids were small. With that being said, I'd be more than happy to provide references for your peace of mind. I am also able to help with light housekeeping if needed when kids are napping and I am open to do a "live-in" situation if necessary at the right price.

Maria has been helping care for my son since December 2024, starting when he was a newborn, and she continues to be an invaluable part of our lives. Over the months, I have been continually impressed by her warmth, enthusiasm, and unwavering dedication to my child’s well-being and development. Maria has a natural gift with children of all ages. She quickly earned our trust through her attentiveness, gentle nature, and ability to intuitively understand our son’s needs. She’s not only reliable and punctual—always arriving on time or early—but also incredibly proactive. Maria consistently takes initiative around the house, assisting with meal prep, tidying up, keeping the nursery and toys clean and organized, and finding fun, age-appropriate activities to engage our son. She brings a thoughtful balance of structure and flexibility to our daily routine. While she helps maintain a consistent schedule, she’s also responsive and adaptable, often offering helpful suggestions or insights that reflect her experience and deep understanding of childcare. Maria is a great communicator and an absolute joy to work with—professional, respectful, and incredibly supportive. Our son adores Maria. She brings so much joy into his day through storytelling, singing songs, outdoor play, and creative games. Her patience, warmth, and dependability make her a truly special presence in our home. One of the things I’m most grateful for is the way Maria supported me during my transition back to work. It’s never easy leaving your baby for the first time, but knowing he was in Maria’s capable and loving hands gave me tremendous peace of mind. Knowing my son was safe, happy, and well cared for made my transition much easier.
