I'm a dedicated caregiver with a passion for supporting children's growth and well-being. With five years as a nanny and two years as an au pair for newborns and young children, I understand how to balance fun, safety, and education. I prioritize open communication with parents, providing regular updates on their child's day. I respect family routines and aim to create a warm, reliable environment where children feel comfortable learning and playing. My approach to childcare involves a mix of educational and fun activities that stimulate their minds adapting to each child's unique personality and needs. I'm COVID-vaccinated, certified in first aid, and fluent in English and Portuguese. Above all, my goal is to create a positive space where children feel inspired, and parents feel confident knowing their little ones are in caring, capable hands. I'm available and excited to connect with families seeking loving childcare. Feel free to reach out to discuss how I can support your needs!

Maria has been with us for almost 2 years! She has done a wonderful job taking care of my 2 girls and did great with my youngest as a newborn/infant. My youngest was 2 months old when Maria started with us! As an infant, my baby had feeding issues and a tongue tie release. Maria was very patient when it came to feeding her and working through those issues as she grew. My oldest is now 6 years old. They have both become very close to Maria and love being with her! She has become part of our family! Maria is very kind, responsible, reliable and trustworthy! Everything you would want in someone taking care of your young child(ren).
