Experience: 7 yrs
Nurturing young minds is my greatest passion. My seven years of experience caring for children aged newborn to pre-teen have solidified my commitment to fostering their growth. I hold current certifications in First Aid and CPR Training, and my coursework includes Early Child Development. I'm comfortable caring for up to four children and enjoy engaging them with board games and puzzles. I'm also happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, and swimming supervision. I communicate with parents using their preferred method and am very comfortable enforcing household rules. My approach is patient and friendly. I speak both English and Portuguese. I truly enjoy making a positive impact on children's lives, and I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones. I have 4 years driving of experience and feel very comfortable driving babies and kids.
Maria F. is responsible, attentive, and very affectionate with children.
