Hello! My name is Maria, and I have over 40 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I am originally from Colombia and speak Spanish fluently. While my English is conversational, I understand it well and have always communicated successfully with the families I serve. Caring for children is my passion. I provide a safe, loving, and nurturing environment while helping children learn and grow through play, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor activities, and age-appropriate learning. I encourage the development of fine and gross motor skills, cognitive and language abilities, creativity, problem-solving, and social-emotional growth. I am CPR and First Aid certified, have excellent references, reliable transportation, a flexible schedule, and would love the opportunity to become a trusted part of your family's support system.

Maria is great. Our kids (4.5 & 2.5) ask us to call her to come over and play. We've hired her for reoccuring weekends and she has been punctual and trustworthy. She has a great demeanor and I can tell she would be amazing taking care of kids of all ages.

Maria is EXCELLENT. She is wonderful to our LO and she has been so helpful. She really has a way with babies, she is like the baby whisperer. I went through two referrals and they also shared only great things about Maria. She is very patient, kind, nurturing and helpful in all respects. I HIGHLY recommend her for nanny and babysitting services! Five stars!
