About Maria
Experience: 7 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
with extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from babies to older kids. I'm very inventive and love coming up with fun, educational activities, such as arts and crafts, to keep children engaged and support their development. I have experience looking after babies as young as 3 months and always ensure they are in a safe and caring environment. I'm patient, attentive, and enjoy using music and imaginative play to calm and entertain children. I'm also very hands-on and enjoy keeping kids active with outdoor play or trips around the city. I'm an experienced swimmer with water safety training and comfortable with pets. I collaborate closely with parents to make sure their children's needs are met and that they feel comfortable and happy. I'm CPR certified and truly enjoy taking care of children. I also have experience with children on the autistic spectrum, both in helping the child to develop and accompanying them in therapies and activities.

When I travel to New York for work or vacations, I always rely on Maria to take care of my kids. She's wonderful with them! My son, who is now 3 years old, adores her – she’s been looking after him since he was just 6 months old. My older daughter also loves Maria; she thinks she's so funny! Although they don’t see each other often because I only travel to New York occasionally, Maria is always a reliable and trustworthy person to leave the kids with when I’m away. It’s such a relief knowing they’re in good hands. I highly recommend her!
