About Maria
Experience: 20 yrs
I'd describe my personality as warm, bubbly, reliable, and caring. I like working with kids because they are so fun, honest, and sweet. I'm looking for a job that values what I have to offer and also lets me shine at what I do best and trusts me. I started working with kids when I started teaching them ESL when I was 17 and when I started babysitting at 12 and 15 and when I worked at a daycare at 19 and then again at 34. I am now 36 and it has been a wonderful long career of teaching and caring for children of all ages: 3 months old to teenagers. In my spare time, I like to watch movies , walk outside, read poetry, listen to podcasts, cook recipes, socialize, go to coffee shops, practice my languages. One thing you should know about me is I am very affectionate and can be silly but can also be firm and redirect as needed according to the house rules. My skills include teaching languages, playing and entertaining in general, and also helping small children with potty.
Most recent review
Maria is truly an amazing caregiver—kind, patient, and so genuine with kids. My 2.5-year-old absolutely loved her and was always so happy to be with her. She has a natural way with children and is incredible at playing, singing, dancing, and coming up with fun, creative activities that kept my child engaged and joyful every day. Those four months were honestly some of the hardest of my life. I was caring for my child mostly on my own, and Maria was there with me through it all. Her support, patience, and steady presence meant more to me than I can ever fully express. She didn’t just care for my child—she helped me get through a time when I really needed it, and I will always be deeply grateful for her.
