About Maritza
Experience: 2 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
As a Certified Teacher with over two years of childcare experience, I am dedicated to nurturing the growth and development of children. My passion for childcare stems from my previous babysitting roles, where I witnessed the positive impact I could make on young lives. My calm and patient demeanor, coupled with my creativity and friendly approach, allows me to connect with children easily and create a safe and stimulating environment. I prioritize open communication with parents, ensuring that they are well-informed about their child's day and any concerns that arise. I firmly believe in the importance of household rules and am comfortable enforcing them in a consistent and fair manner. My approach to childcare involves a variety of games and activities that cater to different interests and learning styles. From outdoor sports to educational games, I strive to make playtime both enjoyable and enriching.

I wholeheartedly recommend Maritza to any family seeking a reliable, loving, and dedicated caregiver. For over two years, she cared for our son from six months to two years old, working 40 hours a week and treating him like one of her own grandchildren. Maritza was incredibly dependable and she consistently went above and beyond, teaching our son new skills, preparing age-appropriate curriculum, and fostering his growth without prompting. She also handled light housework and always did what was asked of her with care and professionalism. The bond she formed with our son was extraordinary—she continues to visit him monthly, driving hours out of her way to maintain their relationship. He lights up at the mention of her name and asks to call her daily. Maritza is a nurturing, hardworking, and trustworthy caregiver who will treat your child as her own. Any family would be lucky to have her in their lives.
