I am an experienced nanny and a mother of three—now grown and established professionals with strong values, who are my greatest pride. To me, children are the joy of the world and our future; they deserve an environment filled with love. My approach is grounded in patience and the conviction that every child deserves to be guided by sound principles, values, and emotional well-being. I am constantly vigilant regarding potential safety risks and strive to create a secure environment for the children while they play, designing activities that foster their learning. I am seeking a family to whom I can offer not merely supervision as a nanny, but also a positive influence on their daily routines—one that helps them grow into healthy, kind-hearted adults. Regarding my professional background, I offer a blend of life experience and specialized training in childcare: I have two years of experience as a professional nanny, Read more having cared for a lovely baby girl until she turned two, at which point I relocated to another state. I speak Spanish and am a skilled cook specializing in nutritious meals (on occasion, I even involve the children in food preparation in the kitchen as a fun and safe activity!). I also enjoy organizing outdoor activities to ensure the children have opportunities to connect with nature. Furthermore, I am a safe and prudent driver. I look forward to the opportunity to become a valuable source of support in your home.

Maria has been caring for our two-year-old daughter since June 2026, and she has been absolutely wonderful. She is reliable, punctual, kind, and genuinely caring. She creates fun, age-appropriate activities that support our daughter's learning and development while always keeping her safe and engaged. Maria also prepares snacks, keeps the play areas tidy, and has been very respectful of our family's routines and parenting preferences. As a native Spanish speaker, she naturally incorporates Spanish into her interactions with our daughter, which has been an added bonus. Most importantly, our daughter adores Maria and is always excited to see her. We have complete confidence in her and highly recommend her to any family looking for a trustworthy, nurturing, and dedicated nanny.
