My name is Maria and I am a mother of two girls, ages 11 and 9. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. I taught 3rd and 4th grade for 14 years in Miami. I am a certified teacher in the state of Georgia and have been subbing for 5 years for Cobb County Schools. I come from a large family and have always loved helping take care of the little ones. I love to play with my kids, do arts and crafts, read books, and outdoor fun! I am comfortable caring for seniors that need some extra assistance at home or in getting around to the store or appointments.
