Hi my name is Maria I am a 25 year old female and I am looking to care for kids and provide them excellent care. I have experience with infants and toddlers, I used to work as a teachers assistant at a daycare in my area sadly I could not continue working in the daycare because I started school and they only had full time positions available. I have a very high patience tolerance. I also worked as a nanny for a 4 month old infant and a baby sitter for a 2 year toddler. I speak both Spanish and English. If Spanish is something you are interested for your kids to learn I can completely provide that. I am good at communicating with small children and helping them with their homework as well as meal prep, laundry for children and giving them emotional support when needed. I am a Read more non smoker, I promise to take care of your kid as if he/she/they were my own. I have my own car so valid transportation you will receive. you will not regret it! Super reliable and punctual. I have a lot of active experience right now and have been working with families these past 3 months. I have had the opportunity to care for a 5 month old who is now 8 months, toddler, pre school age child, and two girls who are now 6 years old and 12 years old. I have very active experience and I am looking forward to being able to help families and give them the extra support that they need! I am very punctual and will always let know ahead of time if there are any issues with scheduling but I am pretty reliable. I love working with baby’s and kids and see myself doing this long term. I do have an active background check, motor vehicle background check, cpr certifications and can provide great references to speak on my work. Thank you for taking the time to look at my profile, I hope to be able to connect!
