About Maria

Experience: 4 yrs

Hello! I have four years of experience caring for children of all ages, from infant, toddlers to teenagers. I am comfortable with up to two children. I am patient, kind, calm, and responsible. I am also a fast learner, punctual, clean, and organized. I follow parents' preferred communication methods. I am very comfortable enforcing household rules. I am currently working part-time supporting three children with special needs (two on the autism spectrum and one have ADHD), which has strengthened my patience, adaptability, and communication skills. I enjoy playing outdoor sports, board games, puzzles, and educational games with children. I am happy to help with cooking, meal preparation, carpooling, and light housekeeping. I am excited to bring my energy and skills to your family!

Maria Laura first came to live and work with our family through an au pair program and stayed on with us afterward. As any parent can imagine, having someone live in your home and help care for your children requires an enormous amount of trust, communication, patience, and skill — and Maria Laura exceeded our expectations in every way. She worked with our four children, including two children with autism, and handled a wide variety of responsibilities with compassion, maturity, and consistency. She assisted not only with childcare, but also with helping the children stay organized and supported in their daily routines. In addition, she helped keep the home clean and organized, did laundry, assisted with meal preparation, grocery shopping, and transportation. Maria Laura is extremely trustworthy, dependable, punctual, and responsible. She is calm under pressure, competent behind the wheel, and wonderful with children. She became an important part of our family, and we truly felt blessed to have her with us for so long. I recommend her wholeheartedly to any future family. I would absolutely be happy to speak personally with anyone considering hiring her. She will be a tremendous asset to any home lucky enough to have her. - Laura C.
