About Maria

As a nurturing and experienced childcare provider with 20 years of enriching children's lives, I'm passionate about fostering their growth and development. My patient and calm demeanor creates a safe and nurturing environment where children thrive. I excel at engaging children through creative and imaginative activities, making learning an enjoyable experience. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring they're informed about their child's day and any matters that arise. I'm confident in enforcing household rules, ensuring a structured and harmonious environment. From outdoor adventures to educational games, I relish the opportunity to help children learn and grow. I'm fluent in English, Portuguese, and Spanish, and I'm happy to assist with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, light housekeeping, and swimming supervision. I hold a college degree, am a special needs para educator at TUSD , and have a degree in early child development. I am a dog lover.
