About Maria

Hello! My name is Maria and I am a Psychology and child education Student at FGCU! I am 22 years old, but I've been babysitting children since I was 15. I have always loved children and have worked in a school setting for over 2 years. I love working with children because I believe proper care and nurture of children helps create wonderful adults. My preferred age group of children to work with are ages 1-5, but do have experience with ages children 0-12! I recently worked at a daycare for over a year and had to leave due to health reasons, but children are truly my joy! My first experience was volunteer work at a middle school, but preschoolers have my heart. I have also have experience with special needs children and they honestly have a special place in my heart because they are the sweetest children ever! I do speak spanish as well as sign language fluently!
