About Maria
Experience: 10 yrs
My love for kids began long before my own son was born. Now that he's grown, I'd love to help you with your children. I connect well with kids of all ages, newborns to teens. I love music, singing, dancing, crafts, games, helping kids learn new things, and walks, hikes, & runs in beautiful Colorado. My parenting style is gentle and caring. I praise kids when they do right, and talk through things if they do something wrong. I'm a firm believer in helping kids learn to make the right decisions to prevent or limit misbehavior. I took a career detour in 2014 to provide end-of-life care for my parents. That experience taught me how much I love caregiving, be that for older adults or babies, children, & teens needing a kind, loving nanny.
