A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Maritza, and I’m 23 years old, born and raised in Santa Barbara. I have a deep passion for working with children and have been doing so professionally for the past three years as a full-time preschool teacher. I hold 15 Early Childhood Education (ECE) units from Santa Barbara City College (SBCC) and am now seeking a full-time nanny position to focus on the personalized care of 1-3 children.
I truly enjoy one-on-one interactions, where I can tailor activities and care to meet each child’s unique needs. I would love the opportunity to work closely with your family and contribute to your child’s growth and development.

A little bit about me
I am 20 years old from a small town in New Hampshire. I will be going into my junior year studying art therapy at Westmont college. I’ve worked as a nanny for families in my town, as well as for my brother’s children. I also have life guarded for 2 years, and am confident in my first aid/CPR skills. I am extremely creative & physically active and love finding ways to encourage children to be as well. Studying art therapy has given me a good basic understanding of children’s psychology, as well as many creative tools/ideas for learning by using crafts and the surrounding environment. I am patient, kind, inclusive and understanding and consider it an honor to display these characteristics to children.
