About Maria
Experience: 4 yrs
Hi families! Caring for children is something I truly love, and I feel lucky to be part of their growth and everyday adventures. I have over 7 years of childcare experience, including almost 4 years in the U. S plus graduate coursework in early childhood education. I enjoy creating a safe, loving and fun environment where kids learn through play, creativity, and curiosity. Whether we're reading or playing, I love helping little ones build confidence while having fun. I believe every family is unique, so I always respect and follow each family's routines and parenting style. I'm originally from Colombia and came to the U. S through an exchange program to improve my English. I fell in love with the experience and decided to stay to continue my college education. I'm currently looking for babysitting or recurring childcare opportunities to complement my weekly schedule. At this time, I accept cash payments only. I'd love the chance to get to know your family and care for your little ones!
Most recent review
We first got to know Maria because she was a nanny for a family in our building, and our 2-year old got to join in on playdates she organized with our current nanny. It was such a gift and our son always had the best time! We also used her for occasional date nights, and she made us feel completely comfortable leaving. She’s thoughtful, dependable, and so sweet with kids. We feel really lucky to have had her in our circle and would highly recommend her!
