A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Maria, and I bring over eight years of experience in early childhood education, most recently as a school director and educator coach. I’ve chosen to step away from administration for a bit and return to caring for children one-on-one and supporting families.

I have cared for infants, toddlers, and preschoolers, supporting each stage of development with warmth, patience, and routines. With infants, I focus on creating a safe, loving environment through gentle care, sensory play, and responsive feeding. For toddlers and preschoolers, I help guide early independence with activities that encourage curiosity, problem-solving, and self-help skills, including toilet learning and diapering with patience and consistency.

I naturally weave learning into everyday moments; whether it’s singing songs during diaper changes or practicing language through story time and ready to attend to families goals and needs.

I am CPR/First Aid certified. References provided upon request.
