Hello! My name is Maria Centeno, and I am a passionate and creative nanny/babysitter with previous experience in caring for children. With a love for arts and crafts and a background in the artistic field, I bring a unique blend of creativity and nurturing to the role. Growing up, I was surrounded by a childcare environment as my mom and aunt ran a home daycare, and later worked as a teacher in Venezuela before we moved to the United States. Being exposed to this environment from an early age, I developed a deep understanding of the needs and development of children, and the importance of providing a safe and engaging space for them to learn and grow. One of my greatest strengths is my ability to foster creativity in children. As an artist myself, I believe in the power of imagination and self-expression. I enjoy organizing arts and crafts activities, Read more encouraging children to explore their artistic abilities, and helping them unleash their creativity. Whether it's painting, drawing, or making crafts, I love seeing the joy and sense of accomplishment in their eyes as they create something unique. Alongside my creativity, I am known for my friendly and warm nature. I strive to build a strong rapport with both the children and their parents, ensuring open communication and trust. I understand the importance of creating a safe and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable and supported. Furthermore, I have a flexible schedule, which allows me to adapt to the needs of different families. I understand that each child is unique and may require personalized care and attention. Whether it's engaging in educational activities, assisting with homework, or organizing fun outings, I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet the specific needs and interests of each child under my care. In summary, my background in a childcare environment, combined with my creativity and friendly nature, make me an ideal candidate for a nanny/babysitter role. I am excited to bring my love for arts and crafts, along with my nurturing and attentive nature, to provide exceptional care for your children. I look forward to the opportunity of creating a positive and enriching experience for your family.

We had set up a meeting and when I reached out to confirm if we were still meeting, I did not receive a response. Communication is critical especially when selecting a nanny or sitter.
