About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula in training, with over five years of childcare experience in the U. S. and Brazil. My background includes caring for 20+ children in a daycare setting, working with twins and toddlers, and supporting infants from three months and older. As I transition my career toward newborn and postpartum support, my focus is helping families navigate the early weeks with calm, structure, and confidence. I provide overnight newborn care, feeding support, light meal prep, and gentle household assistance to create a peaceful recovery environment. With experience as both a nanny and house assistant, I am organized, nurturing, and proactive. I prioritize safety, emotional attunement, and building trusting relationships with both parents and children.

Maria was our nanny for almost a year and she was wonderful. She quickly connected with our one-year-old, kept him active with walks and park trips, read to him daily, helped improve his eating, and supported early potty training. She was also great with our three-year-old when needed. Maria is caring, dependable, and thoughtful. We were sad to see her go when our son started daycare and highly recommend her to any family.
