About Maria
Experience: 13 yrs
I have been working with children for over 13 years, and caring for kids is truly something I love and feel passionate about. I previously worked as a preschool teacher, which gave me a strong foundation in early childhood development, learning, and creating a safe and nurturing environment for children. I also hold a degree in early childhood education. I am also CPR-first aid-certified. In addition to my teaching experience, I have several years of hands-on experience as a nanny and babysitter, working with children of different ages. I would describe myself as responsible, patient, and very attentive. I enjoy engaging children in fun and meaningful activities such as outdoor play, arts and crafts, and baking. I take pride in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents, and I always aim to create a positive, loving, and structured environment. Please feel free to reach out if you have any questions. Thank you for your time!
Most recent review
We feel incredibly lucky to have had Mariana as a nanny to both of our children. She is truly exceptional. As an experienced educator, she has such a natural ability to connect with children and make learning feel effortless and fun. She seamlessly incorporates learning into everyday play, keeping the kids engaged, curious, and excited to learn. Mariana is smart, attentive, loving, patient, and incredibly experienced. More than anything, she genuinely cares about the children she works with and has been such a wonderful and trusted presence in our family. Both of our children absolutely adore her, and we have complete confidence in her care and judgment. We couldn’t recommend Mariana more highly. She is truly one of a kind, and any family would be incredibly fortunate to have her!
