Booked by 23 families in Citrus Heights, CA

* I am currently only taking occasional babysitting opportunities. Hi! My name is Maria and I seriously love hanging out with children. They are so full of amazing energy and such a joy to be around. I am passionate about children because you can learn a lot from them, like how to enjoy the simple things in life. I have been working with children for over 8 years as a babysitter for friends and family. I am a former Registered Behavior Technician. I learned and gained a lot of experience working with children diagnosed with autism. I have worked with all ages from newborn to 16 years old. I love working with children and getting to know them and their individual personalities. I enjoy drawing, coloring, doing arts & crafts. I can bake cookies 🍪 and take them to the park, museum, zoo or any other fun places too. Kids are simply my favorite to be around. They are full of imagination. I also speak Spanish :) I look forward to meeting many families and building relationships with them so when they need part-time babysitting or occasional date nights, I can help take care of their lil ones. 💕

“Maria did a wonderful job. She was on time, patient, and thoughtful. The kids can’t wait to have her back. ”

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
