I love to help people make their lives easier and more meaningful by freeing up their time. I am an empty nester now , as my wonderful children are happy adults. The children I care for are not exposed to screen time . Outdoor and nature based play are the norm in a day with me. My skill set covers a wide range of services, including lovingly taking care of children, cooking meals for those with special diets, catering dinner parties, giving attention to your sweet pets and setting up and managing home repairs. My background includes experience in both the culinary world and home renovation. I have owned and operated a gluten free bakery, worked as a culinary instructor, and ran a catering business. In recent years, I have worked in the real estate industry , but I find spending time with children and pets much more satisfying than finishing projects.

Going back to work after maternity leave and finding the right care for your infant is one of the hardest processes for a parent. My husband and I interviewed multiple nanny candidates before meeting Maria, and as soon as we met her, we knew she was the right fit for our family. Maria is warm, caring, attentive, and she connected with our family instantly. She made my transition back to work so much easier because I knew I could trust her completely with my daughter. It was so fun to watch Maria and my daughter's relationship grow as they developed a close bond and routine together. Maria was always responsive to my daughter's needs and spent every moment with her really present and engaged. Maria is an amazing caregiver, & any family who has the opportunity to work with her is truly lucky! I honestly cannot say enough positive things about her. I recommend her 110%.
