About Maria

Experience: 8 yrs

Hi! I'm an experienced, loving, and reliable nanny with 8 years of childcare experience, and 2 years working with wonderful families in New York. I truly enjoy helping children learn, grow, and feel safe every day. I love creating fun and educational activities, reading books, doing arts and crafts, spending time outdoors, organizing playdates, preparing healthy meals, and maintaining consistent routines that help children thrive. I have experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-age children. As a native Spanish speaker, I enjoy introducing children to Spanish through songs, games, and everyday conversations in a fun and natural way. I have excellent references available upon request and would love the opportunity to support your family. Let's connect!

We highly recommend Maria to any family looking for an exceptional, dedicated nanny. She has cared for our son since he was 10 months old, and her impact on his development has been incredible. Maria is exceptionally punctual and has never once been late or called out. She is completely dependable, giving us total peace of mind every single day. Maria is deeply invested in teaching and milestones. Under her care, our son learned to walk, ride a bike, and ride a scooter. Remarkably, she also fully potty trained him by 14 months old. Because she speaks both English and Spanish, our son benefits from early exposure to multiple languages. She never just sits around as Maria is always active and engaging. She constantly takes our son to library classes, outdoor events, playdates, the playroom, and local activities. At home, she keeps him entertained and learning through drawing, dancing, music, and biking. Maria ensures his every need is met from managing tight schedules for naps, meals, and diaper changes, to making sure he is constantly learning. She treats him like family, even bringing him nutritious, home cooked food and sharing her own lunch with him. She is wonderful to work with highly open to our suggestions and always proactive in offering helpful recommendations of her own. Maria is an absolute gem who balances structured care with energy and love. Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
