Hi, I’m Maria, and I’ve been passionate about caring for children and pets since I was young! Growing up, I developed a natural talent for building connections with kids, ensuring they feel safe, entertained, and supported. Whether it's sparking creativity through art projects, helping with homework, or creating fun activities, I enjoy watching kids grow and explore their unique personalities. I have extensive experience caring for children of various ages, ranging from infants to preteens, and I’ve provided after-school care that includes help with homework, meal preparation, and bedtime routines. My background also includes pet-sitting and dog-walking, which has given me a strong ability to manage responsibilities for both children and pets simultaneously. Additionally, my time as an outdoor lifeguard has equipped me with excellent safety awareness and supervision skills. I am CPR and First Aid certified, highly organized, and adept at creating engaging, age-appropriate activities to keep children entertained Read more and nurtured. Whether it’s preparing meals, maintaining a tidy home, or providing reliable communication with parents, I am committed to ensuring every child feels safe, supported, and cared for in my presence.
