About Maria

Experience: 2 yrs

Hi! I'm Maria. I have over 2 years of experience caring for children, from 3-month-old babies to pre-teens. I currently care for two girls (8 & 11) and love creating a fun, safe, and caring environment where kids can learn, play, and feel comfortable. I'm CPR & First Aid certified, have a valid driver's license, and speak English and Portuguese. I can help with homework, meal prep, bedtime routines, crafts, outdoor activities, reading, and keeping the kids engaged throughout the day. I'm also happy to help with light household tasks like laundry, loading and unloading the dishwasher, organizing clothes and toys, tidying up, and helping keep the house neat and organized. I'm patient, reliable, organized, and flexible. I always do my best to make life a little easier for parents while making sure the kids are happy and well cared for. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

Maria is truly exceptional. She is responsible, trustworthy, and someone who clearly genuinely loves kids. From the moment she walks in, she brings a calm, positive energy that makes both children and parents feel at ease. She doesn’t just “watch” the kids — she actively engages them in activities, whether it’s crafts, games, reading, or imaginative play. They light up when she arrives and stay happily busy the entire time. She communicates well, shows up on time, and handles every situation with maturity and kindness. We feel completely confident leaving our children in her care, and we’re grateful to have found someone who treats them with such patience, enthusiasm, and genuine affection. I highly recommend her to any family looking for a sitter who goes above and beyond.
