Hi there! My name is Maria. I am 28 years old and live in Houston, PA. I completed my fifth year of teaching by 3rd grade in June. After having my son in December, I am looking to pause my teaching career for a few years to spend more time for him, and I’d love to be able to use that time to also care for another family in need! I'm passionate about caring for children, supporting families, and enriching young lives. My own 8-month-old son has shown me the immense joy and responsibility that comes with childcare. Before graduating college in 2018, I spent a few summers working with mostly infants and toddlers at a local daycare center. With prior classroom and childcare experience, I'm comfortable caring for multiple children. I'm patient, calm, creative, and friendly, which helps me connect with children and create a positive environment. I believe Read more in open communication with parents and will provide regular updates on their child's day. I follow the parents' lead when it comes to enforcing household rules. I enjoy activities including board games, puzzles, imaginative play, and educational games that promote learning. With teaching and tutoring experience, I also can help with any school work if necessary. I love all things arts and crafts and my son and I LOVE books! I'm very comfortable with pets and have a car for transportation. Being a mother is the greatest joy in my life. I understand how much trust it takes to leave the most precious piece of you in the care of someone else. I promise above anything to look after and treat your child or children as my own. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and be a positive influence in your child's life. *I am requesting the option to bring my “sidekick” (8-month-old son) along for the fun! - I reside in a non-smoking household - I am happy to provide vaccination records for myself and my son - I completed the Safe Sitter course when I was in 8th grade, and taught it myself in 2018 - I also have a BA in Dance and love all things art & music!
