About Maria

In January, 2019 when I retired from the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection after 29+ years, I moved to Austin, TX. While at the NJDEP I attended 40 hour Health and Safety training with yearly refreshers for 20+years. I have just moved back to NJ!! I am a parent of a school teacher and a Rutgers University graduate, and I have been Host parent to 9 various International high school students ages 15+ throughout the school year since 2014. I am proficient as a confidante, disciplinarian, chef, chauffeur, gardener etc. I am a foodie and I love to teach green gardening/eco friendly gardening to children and adults alike. Presently I am working part-time with children ages from newborn to 12 years of age. I have experience with infants, twins, anger management issues, ABA Therapy and children on the spectrum.
