Meet Maria

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being someone they feel safe, comfortable, and happy around. I find it rewarding to support their growth, creativity, and daily routines while giving parents peace of mind. Building trust with both children and families is something I take pride in, and I enjoy creating a positive, fun, and structured environment. I have hands-on experience caring for children through babysitting, volunteer work, and my time as a camp counselor for the VOCA (Victims of Child Abuse) program at Camp Kuaawanlong for two years. In these roles, I was responsible for supervising children, organizing activities, ensuring safety, and providing emotional support. I also have experience managing different age groups and adapting to each child’s individual needs. I have strong communication, patience, and problem-solving skills, which help me connect well with children and parents. I am dependable, attentive, and safety-focused, Read more with experience maintaining routines, preparing simple meals, and handling daily care tasks. My background in childcare, combined with my ongoing education in healthcare as a nursing student, has strengthened my sense of responsibility, awareness, and compassion when caring for others.
