About Maria
Experience: 6 yrs
Dual citizen to Costa Rica, Spanish speaking. I'm a positive and energetic nanny. For several years I've worked in daycare centers and school systems because I love working with kids. I have 6 years experience with kids ranging in age from 0 months to 12 years. I was the lead teacher for a daycare and a class of 10 1-year-old's. I'm looking for a great family with 1 year+ dedication. I'm seeking 20- 24 hours a week. I can help with washing bottles, dishes, diaper changing, playing, reading, cleaning up, running errands or driving to events and activities as needed. I can also help with kids' meals and laundry. My ideal schedule would be 10-3 M-Th. I love being able to take kids to library story-times or to local parks and activities so the ideal family would provide a car. I'm hoping to start Aug. 5-Aug. 12
Most recent review
Maria has been the most helpful support to our family the last four months and I truly can't imagine anyone better fit. Her warm and kind presence immediately made my son (now 2 years old) feel at ease and comfortable with her from day 1. He adores her and often says her name on weekends in anticipation of seeing her the following week. She will continue helping us until our second baby arrives next year and we hope to maintain our relationship with her beyond that so she can still occasionally spend time with our son. She currently supports us with light housework like folding laundry and washing dishes while my son is still napping, and then gives her full attention to him as soon as he's awake, playing, reading, going for walks, and more. We'd recommend her to anyone looking for a reliable and experienced caregiver to work with their family!
