About Maria

Experience: 20 yrs

Hello! My name is Maria, and I'm a professional nanny and tutor with over 20 years of experience caring for children in CA, NY, FL, NC, and Ecuador. I specialize in newborn and infant care, with experience caring for babies from their very first day of life through all stages of childhood. I see my role as more than childcare-I'm also a tutor and educator who helps children learn, grow, and build confidence. I'm especially passionate about teaching Spanish to young children and creating a natural bilingual environment through conversation, play, books, songs, and activities. All the children I've cared for have been exposed to both English and Spanish, helping them develop strong bilingual skills. I'm a mother of four, studied psychology for three years, and am CPR certified. I'm a native Spanish speaker with strong English, a non-smoker, have a clean driving record, and am comfortable with pets. I'm caring, dependable, patient, and passionate about what I do.

I have never written a review, but I am so grateful that Mafer (Maria) came to our lives. I was a first-time mom and totally overwhelmed by the idea of going back to work. When I met her, she made me feel calm, she knew how to listen to my needs and was very careful and loving with my 6 month's old baby. I wish I could find the proper words to explain how organized, loving, punctual and above all she was just an excellent role model for my child. Mafer was never late, and she was 100% reliable, she always followed all my instructions and kept a great communication line. There was never one moment that I did not know what my child was doing, and this helped me immensely be able to concentrate at work. Mafer provided my child with structure, and it was this structure that helped him stay calm, happy, engaged in activity. She helped me for 2 years until I unfortunately had to move to a different city. Having Mafer as a Nanny is definitely hitting the lottery.
