A little bit about me

Hola! My name is Maria, and I am a 26-year-old first-grade teacher looking for a wonderful family to work with this summer. I recently relocated to the area from Virginia and I speak English and some Spanish.
While this was my first year teaching full-time, I have years of prior experience babysitting and nannying for children of all ages. My background in early childhood education means I love creating fun, engaging, and educational activities for kids. I am patient, and excited to bring my teaching experience into a fun summer nanny role!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Amarais, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic caregiver based in Tampa. I have experience working with kids through my time at Altitude Trampoline Park, where I supervised children in a fun but safe environment That role taught me patience, quick thinking, and how to keep kids engaged while making sure they’re always safe.

I’m currently a student at Hillsborough Community College studying Business finance , and I’m someone who’s very reliable, organized, and easy to communicate with.

I truly enjoy being around kids and creating a positive, fun atmospher, whether that’s helping with routines, playtime, homework, or just making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. I’m also very comfortable with pets, so I’m happy in homes with animals as well.

Families can count on me to be responsible, respectful of their home, and attentive to their children’s needs. My goal is always to make things easier for parents while giving kids a safe and supportive environment.
