Hi! I’m Maria Sorto, a college student staying near Spring, TX. I have a true passion for working with children and years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I’m currently majoring in Bilingual Elementary Education because I love helping children learn and grow. I enjoy making a positive impact in their lives by creating a safe and fun environment where they feel encouraged to explore. I strive to be a caring and dependable role model while giving parents peace of mind that their children are in great hands. I’m also a pet lover, so there won’t be any issue taking care of your fur babies if needed. I’m all about creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for the children I care for while making sure parents feel comfortable and confident. I always strive to create a positive and enjoyable experience for both the children I work with Read more and their families! I’m bilingual and speak both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate comfortably with a wider range of families and children.

Maria helped care for our daughter when she was 3-4 months old, and we couldn’t have been happier with her. She was always caring, attentive, and genuinely engaged with our baby, spending time playing, reading books, and interacting with her in ways that really supported her early development. Maria was always punctual, easy to communicate with, and quickly earned our complete trust. We always felt confident that our daughter was in loving hands. We recommend Maria to any family looking for a kind, dependable, and wonderful babysitter. We are very grateful for everything she did for our family.

My daughter, who is 11, really enjoyed having Maria stay with her. Our 3 pups really seemed to like her as well. She was punctual and very polite. We look forward to hiring her again.
