My name is Maria and I have over 25 years of experience caring for children from newborns to school age. I truly enjoy working with children and creating a safe, loving environment where they can learn, grow, and feel supported. I am patient, reliable, and very attentive to each child’s needs. I enjoy planning fun activities like reading, outdoor play, and educational games that help children develop and stay engaged. I also value building strong, trusting relationships with the families I work with.

Providing compassionate, attentive care is central to my professional values, with a strong focus on children's safety, development, and well-being. With four years of experience as a Certified Nurse Assistant and Home Health Aide, I offer reliable, structured, and nurturing care tailored to each child's needs. I plan age-appropriate activities that support learning, creativity, and positive behavior while maintaining consistent routines. I am experienced in assisting with daily living activities, including hygiene, meal preparation, and light housekeeping, always with patience and respect. I also provide transportation and maintain organized, safe environments. My strong attention to detail and communication skills allow me to give clear updates to families. CPR and First Aid certified, I am committed to professionalism, safety, and supporting children in a positive, engaging environment.

I am a mother of 2 kids who are now adults. I currently work full-time as an elementary school teacher. My BA degree is in Child Development and my MA is in Education. I also have daycare experience with infants and toddlers. My weekends are free and so are my summers. I love children and looking to help out. I’m great with caring for infants and toddlers. With school children, arts and crafts, reading to them, playing board games with them, and helping out with homework is something I can definitely do.

I am a reliable and dedicated caregiver with consistent experience supporting one family, caring for their 8-year-old daughter until they relocated. I enjoy spending time with children and like being active outdoors, going on walks, and trying new foods. I’m comfortable around pets, having cared for two, and can help with light household cleaning and cooking. I also speak Spanish, which helps me communicate well with a variety of families. I bring a caring, responsible, and dependable presence to every home I work in.
