About Maria
Experience: 20 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello! My name is Maria, and I am a proud mother of a 24-year-old professional. I hold a Master's in Socio-Cultural Affairs and have extensive experience as a teacher and childcare provider. Over the years, I've worked with infants, toddlers, children, and teens, sharing my expertise as a nanny, ballet and contemporary dance teacher, choreographer, toddler gymnastics instructor, and Spanish teacher. I love being surrounded by kids, helping them develop their personalities, fostering healthy habits, and introducing them to cultural activities like music, visual arts, and dance. Fluent in Spanish and English, I create nurturing environments that encourage kindness, curiosity, and appreciation for nature and life's simple joys. I'm a certified CPR and AED First Aid provider and a safe driver with a reliable 2022 Hyundai Kona. If you have any questions or need more details, feel free to reach out. I'd love to contribute to your family's growth and happiness!

Maria, aka Maui, was incredible! She was excellent with our 1 year old. She taught her many words in English and Spanish. Maui took our daughter to the park to play, did lots of music and dancing with her, fed her meals, and cleaned up during our daughter's naps. Maui is responsible, was always on-time, and communicated well with us. She was flexible to work days around our schedules and some nights so we could go out. She is a trained dancer who was active and matched our daughter's energy and activity. Maui was also nurturing and good at calming down our daughter when needed. They formed a really strong bond and our daughter always got excited when Maui walked in. The house, and neighborhood, were full of laughter and joy. We give Maui our highest recommendation! We would keep working with Maui long-term if we were not moving out of state. Whoever works with Maui next will be lucky and their child(ren) will benefit.
