My name is Maria. I have over 23 years of childcare experience from infant to teens. I also cook and do light housekeeping. I'm thrilled to provide a fun and nurturing environment where kids can learn through play and exploration! I believe that children thrive when they're encouraged to be curious, creative, and confident. My goal is to support every child in reaching their full potential while keeping them safe, happy, and excited about learning. Partnering with parents is key to helping children grow socially, physically, and emotionally. I am easygoing, friendly and love building relationships based on trust and respect, becoming a trusted family friend and role model to young children with compassion. Please let me know how I can help you, and be of support.
