About Maria
Experience: 9 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! My name is Maria, and I'm a caring, responsible, and reliable individual with a passion for working with families, children, and pets. Along with caregiving, I enjoy tutoring and helping kids grow in a positive, supportive environment. I also have extensive experience with dog walking and pet sitting, ensuring pets get the attention, exercise, and care they need. I bring a caring approach and a love of learning to everything I do. I'm here to create a safe, nurturing space for children and pets alike and to lend a hand with daily routines, homework, or fun, educational activities. My goal is to build trust with both parents and kids, while also making sure furry family members feel happy and comfortable. Need a tutor? I'm your girl! I have a passion for education, with my bachelors and masters in Environmental Science conferred from Loyola University Chicago, and as a current doctoral student in Epidemiology and Biostatistics. I enjoy helping learners of all ages.

I hired Maria to watch our 4-year old and would do so again without hesitation. In setting up the job, Maria was very responsive. When the day arrived, she was prompt and ready to go, as was our 4-year old. Our little one took to her right away and clearly felt comfortable with her from the start, as did I. Maria's friendliness, warmth, and professionalism from the first message we exchanged set the stage for a great experience, which carried through to when she left after watching our little one really . I would highly recommend Maria to anyone & everyone; she's responsive, trustworthy, friendly, and reliable. I look forward to hiring her again!
