I'm Maria Zavala, a junior nursing student with a passion for caregiving and making a positive impact on others' lives. While my experience so far has been in elderly care, I believe many of the skills I’ve developed—such as patience, attentiveness, and empathy—translate well to caring for children. Through my nursing studies and hands-on experience, I’ve learned the importance of creating safe, nurturing environments, managing health needs, and responding calmly in any situation. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I take pride in being responsible, reliable, and compassionate. I’m excited to bring my caregiving background into babysitting, offering families peace of mind knowing their children are in capable, caring hands. I look forward to building strong connections with both kids and parents, fostering a fun, supportive atmosphere at home. I’d love to chat more and see how I can help support your family. Please feel free to reach out Read more with any questions!
