About Maria

Experience: 4 yrs

Hello! I have four years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infant, toddlers to teenagers. I am comfortable with up to two children. I am patient, kind, calm, and responsible. I am also a fast learner, punctual, clean, and organized. I follow parents' preferred communication methods. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I am currently working part-time supporting three children with special needs (two on the autism spectrum and one have ADHD), which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I am excited to bring my energy and skills to your family!

Maria took care of my daughter for a few occasions. She's done the bedtime routine for my daughter while we were away for the evening. And she's also helped my husband and I with a daytime care while our main daycare provider was unavailable for a few days. I totally trust having Maria caring for my daughter. And any requests we asked of Maria, she would do it for us. Maria even suggested a couple ideas while taking care of my daughter. For example, she suggested hiding the nap necessities before nap time, only to show it when nap time is approaching. So that way, my daughter would stay awake until her nap time and stay on routine. I would highly recommend Maria.
