I'm a 53yr old, semi-retired (from a professional HR career) mother of an 19yr old son, who is in college in New York. Being retired, I have a pretty flexible schedule so if you need someone on specific days/night or even a last minute or as a back-up sitter feel free to reach out with the details and I'll see if I can make it work. I have always loved being with children and so when the company I was working for got acquired and I was laid off, I decided to do what I love and joined Sittercity. I'm newish to Vegas (July 2022) so some of my babysitting experience is from NYC where I lived for 23yrs and where I raised my son. We spent numerous hours in parks and playground and museums I love to be outside and we have walked all over the city and even Read more today my son's " go to" when he is bored is to take walks. I am a patient and warm person who loves to get down on the floor with the kids (for playing, reading, creating). One of the key skills in HR is to be a good listener and to create an environment that engages employees, I feel these skills are also essential when working with children. Creating an environment for the child in my care to play, engage, learn and grow would be my primary objective. I love singing (although I can't carry a tune) and dancing - basically I'm still a kid at heart and I truly feel like kids are amazing - the questions they ask and also the way they communicate before they can use their words etc... My experience has been with a variety of ages from babies to 10 yrs old and I feel comfortable with all ages. Being a former working parent I know how important it is to have a reliable trustworthy sitter so feel free to contact me with any questions or would like more information about me. Thanks, Maria

Maria was prompt and polite. She provided all the backgrounds data that we requested. She watched our 4 year old twins for six hours while we enjoyed a date night in Las Vegas. The twins loved her, she kept them occupied with various crafts, snacks, and activities. We would highly recommend Maria to anyone seeking child care in Las Vegas!

I cannot speak more highly of Maria!! We have worked with many babysitters and she is truly the most responsible, dependable, and kind-hearted. I first hired Maria when we had moved apartments and my then 2-year old daughter needed someone to take her on the subway from Brooklyn to upper Manhattan. I trusted Maria completely with this responsibility and was 100% confident in her abilities. From there, I worked with Maria for about a year, and my kids grew to really love spending time with her. When our son was about 1 year old, he had an intense "separation anxiety" phase and would hate to be with anyone but his parents -- but that did not phase Maria one bit -- she knew just what to say and how to coax him out of his tears. We are sorry Maria has left the east coast... but if you are considering hiring her, you could not make a better choice! I'm happy to chat live if anyone would like to further sing her praises :) All the best, Stephen
