I am an older sister so growing up I would act as the second mom and be very protective over my little sister. In general growing up I was always one of the oldest kids with family friends and just family in general. I was raised surrounded by kids and that is really where I grew the love for them and especially the patience for them. I am such a happy fun, loving and loud person to where I keep the kids entertained or if they get bored I just make up random games on the spot and have some fun. In my first 3 years of high school I coached one of the local youth cheer teams. I worked with ages 4-12 in this role. This past summer before I moved here for school and now I am a seasonal worker I am an employee at Carmel Valley Ranch. I work at the kids camp there. It basically is a everyday day care center where it is a play room where we do crafts, read books, play games, and take the kids outside to enjoy the fresh air. With this and young kids having fun we do clean up the room a good amount of times during the day. With being surrounded by kids through out my whole life I am not studying to go into education for the ages 1st-3rd.
I’m a responsible, dependable, and caring person who enjoys working with kids and helping families when they need an extra hand. I recently started babysitting more regularly and have experience caring for young and school-aged children. I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained, preparing simple meals and snacks, helping with routines, and making sure they’re safe and well cared for while their parents are away. I’m patient, attentive, and easygoing, but I also understand the importance of following the routines and expectations parents have for their children. I’m happy to help with light cleanup related to the kids and I’m also comfortable around pets. I have a dog of my own, so pets in the home are never an issue for me. I work full-time during the week, so I’m primarily looking to help families with occasional babysitting, evenings, weekends, date nights, or other times when an extra set of hands is needed. I’m reliable, communicative, and want parents to feel comfortable knowing their kids are in good hands while they’re away.

“Abbey was great with our 10 month old. She connected with him instantly and her intuition of when to intervene or redirect to keep him in a positive state was spot on. We’ve already booked her as much as possible for the next few months. ”
* 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!"
