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 am a patient, caring, and nurturing person who truly enjoys helping children learn, grow, and feel confident. I have worked closely with children and young people, supporting their emotional, social, and personal development with kindness, empathy, and respect. I also have experience supporting children with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) and Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), always adapting my approach to meet each child’s individual needs. In addition to childcare, I can provide Spanish language support and tutoring in a fun and engaging way, helping children build confidence in their communication skills. I understand that every family is unique, and I strive to adapt with flexibility, open communication, and a positive attitude. I can assist with homework, Read more educational activities, emotional development, and creating a safe and supportive environment where children can thrive. I am CPR certified, responsible, organized, and comfortable with pets. I would be happy to answer any questions and look forward to connecting with your family!

Maria is a great sitter. From the moment my son met her, he loved her. She is super sweet, patient, and my son warmed up to her very quickly. She made us feel comfortable and at ease, and she has truly become part of our village. We’re very thankful to have found her!

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!!
