About Maria

I'm a warm, dedicated, creative, and bilingual (English/Spanish) caregiver with 15+ years of experience working with children from infancy through adolescence. I'm highly organized and experienced in managing household routines while creating a safe, stable, and enriching environment for families. I'd describe my personality as patient, creative, and proactive. I love working with kids because I'm constantly inspired by their imagination. Watching them grow and express themselves--especially through movement and art--is deeply meaningful. I'm looking for a job that offers flexibility, balance, and strong communication with parents. I enjoy roles where I can bring my background in dance and art education into daily care. I began working with children at 16 as a ballet teacher, and later as a museum educator. In my spare time, I dance, create performances, climb, walk in the park, and spend time with friends. My top skills include creative engagement, collaboration, and nurturing care.
