Experienced Nanny | Former Au Pair | CPR & First Aid Certified | Excellent References Hello families! My name is Maria, and I have 6+ years of experience working with children from infancy through preteens. As a former Au Pair with experience caring for children in both the United States and Brazil, I understand the importance of creating a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children can learn and thrive. During my two years as an Au Pair in the U. S., I provided full-time childcare, school transportation, meal preparation, potty training support, and fun age-appropriate activities. I built a wonderful relationship with my host family and have excellent references available upon request. I am CPR and First Aid certified, a non-smoker, have reliable transportation, and am fluent in English and Portuguese. Families describe me as patient, dependable, caring, and trustworthy. I am available for full-time, part-time, occasional, date-night, and weekend care.
Maria was truly exceptional with our 15-month-old son, who is usually very slow to warm up to new people. He connected with her faster than I have ever seen him connect with anyone new, which immediately showed me how naturally warm and caring she is. She was playful, creative, and completely engaged with him, getting down on the floor and interacting with him at his level. Maria was also incredibly patient and reassuring with me as a first-time mom who had rarely left my son with anyone other than his dad or our full-time nanny. She was punctual, communicative, dependable, and clearly has a genuine love for children. We felt so fortunate to find her, and the next time we are in San Diego, I would hire her again without hesitation. I cannot recommend her highly enough.
