About Maria

Hi! I recently got married and moved from Arizona to Ohio. I graduated from Franciscan University with a degree in Human Development & Family Studies and have always loved working with children. As one of six kids, I grew up helping care for my younger siblings and cousins, which sparked my passion for childcare. Since I was 16, I've taught swim lessons and coached swim teams, and after college I spent two years as a Kindergarten Teacher Aide. That experience confirmed how much I love helping children learn, grow, and feel loved. My husband and I are practicing Catholics, and our faith inspires me to care for others with kindness, patience, and integrity. I would love the opportunity to provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where your children can thrive. I look forward to getting to know your family!
