About Maria

Experience: 12 yrs

I am a dedicated, patient, and organized Professional Nanny and Certified Nursing Assistant (CNA) with over 10 years of experience caring for children from newborns to teenagers, including twins. Certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid, I blend healthcare expertise with a loving, structured approach to foster growth, safety, and confidence. I excel in infant care, developmental activities, meal prep, and daily routines. Fluent in English and native in Portuguese (with basic Spanish), I build strong, trusting relationships with families. Having recently relocated, I am seeking a new long-term family closer to home. In my free time, I enjoy cooking, outdoor walks, and time with my family and my dog, Lilly.

I have known Maria for the past couple years, working together I have seen Maria with her natural and caring personality. She is patient and manages difficult situations with small children. Maria is very supportive, smart , and has a very positive attitude. Her high work ethics makes her an excellent candidate for caring for the needs of your family. I am so lucky to have been able to work together and see the children we work with become best friends.
