About Maria

I've been caring for children for over four years and have a passion for making a positive impact on their lives. I'm patient, calm, and friendly, which creates a welcoming and nurturing environment for children. When it comes to enforcing household rules, I follow the parents' lead to ensure consistency and respect. I enjoy playing a variety of games with children, from outdoor sports and physical games to board games and puzzles. I also like to incorporate educational games that promote learning in a fun and engaging way. I have some college coursework in early childhood development, which has enhanced my understanding of child development and best practices for caregiving. I'm comfortable caring for children of all ages, from toddlers to preteens. I have experience with carpooling and am comfortable with pets.
