I have over 7 years of experience caring for children and am also a proud mother of a 14-year-old daughter. I am a psychologist in my home country and fluent in both English and Spanish. I have always worked closely with children and young people, supporting their emotional and personal development with patience, empathy, and care. I love helping children grow into confident, kind, independent, and happy individuals. I understand that every family has its own routines and parenting style, and I always strive to adapt with flexibility, respect, and open communication to best support each child’s needs. I am CPR certified, responsible, organized, and passionate about creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment for children. I can also assist with homework, emotional development, and engaging educational activities. I am comfortable with pets as well. I would be happy to answer any questions and look forward to connecting with your Read more family!

I rarely write reviews unless I genuinely want to help someone. She has difficulty following a schedule and tends to overfeed your child, even though clear instructions about milk portions for each serving were provided. Essentially, she wants to create her own schedule. She isn't well-suited for working with newborns or infants, but I would recommend her if your kid is older and more independent or for date nights since minimal interaction with the child is needed.

We’re very happy to have found Maria. She helps us weekly caring for our baby while out of house. Maria is kind and caring to our little one, very professional and timely.

Maria did a great job taking care of our 1 year old girl and 2.5 year old boy while we were away at work.

Maria has been babysitting for our family for occasional work/emergency care and has been super dependable with our two boys (a 6-month-old and a 2.5-year-old). She’s always willing to help when asked — whether it’s folding laundry or doing dishes — which has been a big help for me as a mom of two little ones!! She’s very flexible, receptive, and easy to work with. I’ve never had an issue with her not remembering when she works/punctuality like I’ve had in the past with others. I can really rely on her! I highly recommend her to family and friends!!
