Hello! My name is Mária. I began my nanny and teaching career in CA (9 yrs), continued in CT (7 yrs) and now in FL (7yrs). I'm currently working as a kindergarten teacher at an outdoor nature school in the Fort Lauderdale area. I'm available for part time work M-W after 1:30pm and available all day on Thursdays. I'm also available on Fridays until October when I will begin a school commitment every other Friday. I have worked extensively as a nanny, governess, infant care specialist and teacher. I have also worked with several high profile families in the entertainment industry and traveled the world with them. I have experience with premature multiples, infants, toddlers, school age children and also nuerodiverse children of all ages. I'm a certified ESL teacher (TESOL, TEFL) and tutor children. In response to Covid in 2020, I designed an outdoor 3 hour play group/educational circle Read more time that has connected so many families over the past 4 years. I love to be an extension of a family and a role model to children. I believe good communication and patience works best when working with children and parents. I like bringing creativity and fun to everything I do. I focus on education through play, teach self regulation, mindfulness and manners. My happy almost 3 year-old daughter has worked alongside me since she was born. She's a built-in friend and an asset for teaching social skills such as sharing and empathy. Recertification date for CPR/First Aid/AED is August 2024. Background checked and fingerprinted through the school 2024. I'm also a Trustline member in California. BFA - Theatre - Syracuse University - 2001. I have excellent references and recommendation letters that I'm happy to share. I'm looking forward to connecting with my next wonderful family.
