About Maria

Experience: 9 yrs

I am a bilingual and educated childcare professional with over 3 years of experience caring for children from infancy to teenage years. My approach is characterized by kindness, organization, and consideration. I engage children in topics of personal interest to build relationships and enhance their communication skills. I incorporate stimulating activities into daily routines to promote healthy mental and social development. I enjoy playing games and assisting with homework, ensuring that each child's developmental needs are met. In my previous roles, I have worked with busy working families, coordinating children's participation in school activities, sports, and other events. I consistently achieve parental goals while providing enjoyable experiences for the children. I have experience traveling with families locally and am known for my reliability and flexibility, ready to work any available shift.

Maria absolutely loves taking care of children. She is passionate and committed to helping families. She watched our baby for 3 months while we needed help and was always exploring ways to help our baby learn and develop on all fronts. She is kind, dependable, receptive to feedback, and especially loves time outside with kids. Childcare is where her heart and talents are.
