About Maria

Hello families! **Moved to Stockton, NY** (Care is blocking me from changing this on my profile, unfortunately). I love to care for children. I have been babysitting on and off for about 27 years and working in childcare settings and schools on and off (and while babysitting) for about 24 years. I was also a stay at home mom for about 3 years. I have family I like to visit in these counties (Erie, Chautauqua, Niagara)... so I am very willing to travel. My schedule is very flexible. I have the most work experience with babies and toddlers, but I have had experience/ enjoy working with ALL ages and I look forward to helping any family who finds a great fit in me! To me, safety is always top priority. I love to read books with children, but also to be active and join in their play. I've been very recently re-certified in pediatric CPR/First Aid (February 2026). I will care for pets in your home, if needed. Also, I have a reliable vehicle with snow tires on during winter and do not smoke.
