Hello! My name is Maria. I am a digital publishing professional recently relocated to my home city of Philadelphia. I am an experienced babysitter, and I love being around kids. I’m constantly immersed in the arts and have always tried to incorporate the creativity and energy into my role as a caretaker. I had the privilege of being a part of Emerson College’s Honors Program and have had experience with tutoring as a member of the National Honor Society, so I'm happy to help with homework as well. I am available short notice and on the weekend, in addition to full- or part-time care. Coming from a home with three puppies, I love animals and am comfortable babysitting for a family with pets. Some of my hobbies include singing, designing, and writing. I also love movies, video games, outdoor activities, scrapbooking, and other creative projects. I am responsible, fun, creative, Read more attentive, and perceptive. I know how to quickly respond to stressful situations and maintain a calm perspective. Before my move to Philly, I acted as a Digital Production Specialist at an academic publisher in Burlington, MA while freelancing for outlets such as The Huffington Post and VICE Media. My work experience has also included a Store Manager position at American Apparel Cambridge. I've had experience in multiple leadership positions as well, and have devoted many hours to community service projects such as Relay for Life and Pennies for Patients. I know how to handle responsibility and always devote my utmost attention when babysitting. I have three siblings – a 30-year-old brother, a 23-year-old sister, and a 17 year-old brother. Having had to look after my younger siblings, I’ve grown extremely comfortable around kids. I’ve also learned to adapt to babysitting various age groups from infants to young teens. I have excellent references, so please feel free to inquire about them. I live in the Fishtown area and am happy to commute. Please contact me if you're interested!
