About Maria
Experience: 6 yrs
Hello, I go by Crystal (middle name). A little about myself, I am the oldest of 3 and caring for my siblings gave me plenty of experience to begin with. I have a dog and 2 cats whom I love! I have been nannying for about 6 years and full time for the past 4 years. I have worked for some amazing families. Some I met through care. com and others have been word of mouth. I am still in contact with most of the families I have worked with and still babysit for them from time to time. I have a BS in Child and Adolescent Development from CSUF. I tutored for the Tustin Unified School District for about 5 years before getting into child care full time. I also, did private tutoring for about 2 years. Recently, I have completed my Newborn Care Specialist training. At the moment, I hope to work with newborn families and assist in their exciting parenting journey. I am also open to nannying on occasion or short term for children of all ages.

Maria has taken care of our son with special needs for over three years. We now have a second child and she also cares for her when needed. Maria is extremely reliable, responsible and dedicated to the kids. She makes us feel completely comfortable to leave our little ones with her. We’re so thankful to have her and our kids love her!
