About Margarita

Experience: 15 yrs

Hi! My name is Margarita, and I'm a bilingual (English/Spanish) early childhood specialist and developmental caregiver with 15+ years of experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and families. My background includes early childhood education, Mommy & Me classes, developmental activities, sensory play, bilingual learning environments, and private family support. I also hold a degree in Psychology, which has helped me better understand children's emotional and developmental needs. I'm passionate about creating warm, nurturing, and engaging environments where children can learn, grow, and feel emotionally safe through play-based learning and positive guidance. Families often describe me as patient, dependable, calm, organized, and nurturing. I'm comfortable with pets and available for travel when needed.

Margarita has been an absolute gift to our family. We first booked her when we traveled to Miami, and she went so far above and beyond that we’ve continued to book her over the years whenever we’re in Florida. From the moment you meet her, it’s clear how deeply she cares about children and the families she works with. She was incredibly kind, attentive, and respectful of both our daughter and our space. She planned thoughtful activities, kept our daughter engaged and happy, and always made us feel completely at ease while we were away. Her background in childhood development truly shows in the way she interacts with kids. She’s patient, warm, knowledgeable, and genuinely invested in creating a positive and enriching experience. It’s rare to find someone so trustworthy, dependable, and caring. We could not recommend Margarita more highly.
