Meet Maria
I took care of 3 children. They are a 9-year-old boy and 6-year-old twin girls. My job was to feed them, help them do their homework, take them to and from school, take them to after-school activities, play with them and do different activities such as crafts, outdoor games, and learning activities. Also, I had to deal with other behaviors since all the children throw tantrums or sometimes they don't want to listen, so I had to apply what I learned in my au pair training to keep everything under control so that we could meet the objectives. I am a fun, organized, and disciplined caregiver. I like to listen to my kids, so I know them better, and I know what to do in different situations, from calming a tantrum to what to play. I also stick to the parents' rules and encourage them to communicate well. I am Read more a little shy at the beginning when I meet someone, but when I see we are comfortable, I am more outgoing. I like families with organized timing and schedules and who communicate well with me. Also, I like families who are kind and friendly and encourage their children to be respectful.
