About Maria

Experience: 10 yrs

I am a 31-year-old nanny originally from Colombia with over 12 years of experience caring for children. I have lived in the United States for the past 7 years, working as a nanny while continuing to improve my English. Childcare is more than a job to me-it is a true passion. I focus on creating a safe, loving, and fun environment and bring patience, creativity, kindness, and positive energy into every home. With parents' permission, I also enjoy sharing my culture and teaching basic Spanish to children. I have experience with children from newborns to 13 years old and have worked in both solo and nanny share positions. Experience Highlights: • Aug 2021 - Apr 2023: Full-time nanny (newborn) • Apr 2023 - Jun 2024: Full-time nanny share • Jul 2024 - Apr 2025: Full-time nanny share • Jun 2025 - Present: Full-time nanny for twins • Apr 2026 - Present: Full-time nanny for a 3-year-old

We feel incredibly fortunate to have had such a caring and dependable nanny for our three year old son. Maria quickly became someone our family could truly rely on, and we always felt comfortable knowing our son was in her care. What stood out most was how genuinely attentive she was. She paid attention to the small details, understood our son’s routines and needs, and always approached him with patience, warmth, and care. It was very clear that she was passionate about working with children and that she truly cared about his well being. She was also incredibly reliable and flexible with our family. On days when unexpected work emergencies came up and we needed her to stay longer than planned, she was always willing to help when she could. Having someone we could count on during those stressful moments meant so much to us. Another thing we especially appreciated was the effort she made to teach our son Spanish throughout the day. She naturally incorporated Spanish into their conversations and activities, which helped him become more familiar and comfortable with the language. As a family, that was something very meaningful to us. More than anything, we appreciated the bond she formed with our son. She was not simply watching him; she was actively caring for him, teaching him, engaging with him, and helping him grow. We are truly grateful for the time she spent with our family and for the care she gave our son. We would wholeheartedly recommend her to any family looking for someone who is loving, responsible, attentive, flexible, and genuinely invested in the children she cares for. Any family would be lucky to have her.
