A little bit about me

Hi!
I would love the opportunity to help with your childcare needs. I am available on a full-time, part-time or per diem basis .
I have over 10 years of experience taking care of other's children. Their ages range from newborns and older. I also raised two children of my own.

I am CPR/AED Certified by the American Red Cross in Adult, Child and Infant. I am a former Elementary Education Teacher and hold a Sarasota Substitute Certificate.

I am responsible, reliable, patient, energetic, nurturing and love staying busy. During nap times, I prefer organizing, tidying up, or helping out with children's light household tasks while your child naps. I like having fun while helping children learn and thrive. I follow the parenting style that you choose. I've always treated the children in my care as my own.

I look forward to hearing from you to understand your needs.

Stellar references.

Thank you for your consideration.
Maria

"Absolutely outstanding care! She took care of my kids when they were little, and after starting, soon she became indispensable. Every day she did not only what was expected, but so much more, without anyone asking. She liked to stay busy, so beside entertaining my kids (which was a lot on its own), she cooked, she ran errands, did laundry, I don't know how she had the energy. If I hadn't lost my job and became a staying home mom, I would've never let her go."
