I love working with children and having the opportunity to learn and grow with them. I currently work as a substitute teacher in FCCS and my first ever job was at a daycare, where I had many skills needed in the childcare industry. I worked as a floater and was able to work in almost every classroom that ranged from infants to preschoolers. Thankfully, I had the opportunity to learn and grow with all kinds of personalities and thrive in different types of environments. One of those qualities is the ability to multitask and develop critical thinking skills in a fast-paced environment, while also keeping everyone safe and happy. After working there a couple of months, I worked for a nannying/baby nurse agency and I had the pleasure of working as an infant nurse/caregiver and was able to care for two lovely little girls. I also had the responsibility of Read more assisting their mother in the house with light duties. Overall it was a very lovely experience and I learned a lot from these individuals. I believe I would be a great fit due to my experience and my eagerness and willingness to learn more and grow.

We have a 2yr old and 3yr old and I had never booked a sitter before. Needless to say I was nervous! From the moment Maria walked in she was sweet as can be and the girls just gravitated towards her! She put us at ease that’s for sure. She was patient and graceful with the girls. They love when she comes over! We will be booking with Maria continuously. We most definitely recommend Maria!

Our family loves Maria! She is great with my kids (4, 2, 6 months) and is simply a pleasure. She is a great communicator and sends me texts with regular updates on meals/snacks/naps for the kids. She is very trustworthy and reliable, and we've enjoyed using her as our nanny this summer. We will 100% continue to call her for date nights and babysitting jobs!!

All I can think to say about Maria is AMAZING!!! Wow she was above expectations. Maria did everything we asked and more. She gave us a great piece of mind knowing both our 3 year old and 4 month old (even our dog) were in safe hands.I will 100000% recommend her for anyone and will definitely use her again in the future. Thank you once again Maria you are an amazing person.
