I have been watching children for as long as I was old enough, at the age of 15. I have love & patience with children and I am blessed to say they tend to warm up to me very quickly as well. I have experience with single children as well as children with multiple siblings & twins ranging from ages 0-10. I have sleep training experience as well for any of you new mommy's who want some sleep at night! I am reliable and very flexible. I attended Chico state, graduated in May 2019. I also have experience in Childcare centers working at the Child development lab on campus & in Hamilton City early head start programs as well. I am looking forward to watching someone's little one(s) &help their child's development as well as have fun! Hope to hear from you soon!

Maria is very attentive & extremely patient with my babygirl! I recommend her services to anyone looking for a nice date night! She was a great fit 

Maria is the best! She’s been with our family for almost two years and has been a dream for both of my kids (twin toddlers) -she’s so engaged with them and has taught them tons of new games, songs, and really plays with them all day. As a mom, she’s been easy to just talk to and fits right into our family. Shes reliable, trustworthy, communicative and organized. She even sends cute photos throughout the day which make us smile :) 

Maria provided great support overnight, allowing me to get some sleep and was generous with her insights. I’m grateful to have her as an available resource!

Great experience with Maria! I will be rehiring her for future childcare needs. I definitely recommend working with her if you're looking for a reliable, quality sitter.

Maria lovingly cared for our newborn overnight. She helped set good sleep foundations and offered advice as requested. Having her help in the early days allowed us to rest and be more present for both our children. 



I was so hesitant at first to trust my newborn with someone new. As a new parent, that felt like a huge leap of faith. But from the moment I met Maria, I immediately felt at ease. She has such a calm, warm, and trustworthy presence that made it easy to feel comfortable leaving my baby in her care.

Maria was incredibly helpful throughout our time together. She was always happy to offer advice and guidance when I asked, but what I appreciated most was that she never pushed a particular parenting philosophy or method. She respected our choices, met us where we were, and provided support without judgment.

Beyond being knowledgeable and experienced, Maria is simply a genuinely kind person. She cared not only for our baby, but for us as parents as well. Having her support during those early newborn weeks was invaluable and gave us much-needed peace of mind and rest.

I am so grateful we decided to work with her. I would wholeheartedly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a night nanny. If you’re on the fence, take it from someone who was extremely nervous at first—she is truly wonderful, and hiring her was one of the best decisions we made.

Maria was a wonderful caregiver to our daughter and a great person to work with. We had her come in for a few days and depended on her to be there very early in the morning. She was reliable and showed up on time every day. She followed all of our instructions and her communication was prompt and professional whenever we had any questions or when she detailed her day with our child. It's never easy to leave your child with someone new, but Maria made the experience feel worry-free and comfortable. We hope to use her again in the future! 

Maria did an excellent job as a night nurse for our newborn. She has a cool, calm demeanor that put us and our baby at ease. She listened to what we wanted and offered helpful advice when we asked for it. She was very communicative and always on time. We completely trusted her with our baby which allowed us to relax and get some much needed rest the nights she was with us. We highly recommend working with Maria if you’re looking for a night nurse.

Maria was SUCH a wonderful nighttime nanny for us. We trusted her from day one of taking our precious newborn home from the hospital as nervous first-time parents, which says a lot. It was a godsend to be able to get the sleep we needed but what I did not expect was to also learn so much from her! She is really an infant-care pro and doesn’t preach or teach unless you express an interest in learning. Also, her vibes are the best – down-to-earth, warm, friendly, nonjudgmental, easy to talk to and very sweet. It felt like talking to a friend, pretty much right away. She was on time, reliable and easy to communicate with quickly by text. I really can’t recommend her enough, and I’d be happy to talk to anyone by phone if they’d like to speak to a former client of hers. I definitely hope to hire her again when we have our next baby, fingers crossed!

We are beyond grateful for the amazing care Maria provided during the very first week of our daughter’s life. As brand-new parents, we were overwhelmed, exhausted, and unsure of so many things — but she brought a sense of calm, knowledge, and reassurance into our home right when we needed it most.

She not only cared for our baby with such gentle expertise, but also took the time to guide us through those first sleepless nights with patience and compassion. She answered our questions, showed us helpful techniques, and gave us the confidence that we could handle this new chapter. Knowing our daughter was in such capable, loving hands allowed us to actually rest — something I didn’t think was possible with a newborn!

Her professionalism, warmth, and genuine care made such a difference for our family. We truly cannot thank her enough for helping us start parenthood on such a positive note. I would recommend her to anyone looking for exceptional newborn support.

Maria is amazing! She’s prompt, reliable and communicative. She helped transition our 4 month old to his sleep sack and taught him to self soothe and go the whole night without and milk. So grateful for her!

Unbelievably helpful so glad she came into our life

Maria is caring, reliable, hard working, and the best. We love her and would recommend her to anyone

Maria is awesome! I spoke to her in my search for a night nurse and was so impressed by her experience, demeanor, and good vibes. Would definitely recommend speaking to Maria for your childcare needs!

Maria is a lifesaver! We had the absolute pleasure of having Maria care for our twin girls overnight for the first six months, and now during the day, and we couldn’t be more grateful. From the moment she arrived, she exuded warmth, professionalism, and a deep understanding of infant care.

She handled every feeding, diaper change, and soothing session with such care and expertise that we were able to let go of the worry and get a good nights rest. She kept us updated on how the nights were, ensuring we felt at ease, and offered an amazing number of helpful tips tailored to our babies' needs. She also guided us through sleep training and our one year olds have been sleeping through the night since.

Her presence was truly a gift, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to any parent looking for a reliable, compassionate, and skilled night nurse. Thank you, Maria, for giving us peace of mind and helping us raise these babies!

Maria is sweet! Arrives right on Time. Dependable. Can't wait to have her again. Goes above and beyond
