A little bit about me

Hello! I am a responsible and fun nanny. I am the youngest of 6 and have 21 nieces and nephews! I enjoy playing with kids, cleaning, and making food. I am very flexible, take directions well, and love all adventures - especially outdoors! My goal is to learn something new every day.

I am available to start working on May 22nd after I graduate with my master's. I am looking for parttime work after I finish my camp counselor shift.

"Maria has endless energy, determination, and problem-solving skills. She is unphased in the most stressful of situations. Maria has cared for all 6 of our children at once, including a strong-willed child on the autism spectrum and several children with ADHD. She shows affection, respect, and firmness. Maria helped move us across the country and has watched our children many times over the last 6 years. She can handle whatever you give her."

"We've used Maria many times over for babysitting services, day / night and occassionaly overnight. Maria is a home grown country girl. She walks in and is immediately good with kids. You can give her a few instructions and leave with peace of mind. Your children are safe with Maria. Also, when we are out late we often come home to a clean house with our dishes washed, which she does on her own. Highly recommend. And we look forward to continuing with Maria in the future."

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

- Babysitting my nieces and nephews (1-7 y.o.) over the past four summers.
- Babysitting for a families in town, especially (9-18 m.o.)
- Helped my sister move her 5 kids across the country in a minivan.
- Tutoring humanities and writing (16-21 y.o.)

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Going for walks, picking flowers, identifying wildlife, playing yard and card games, singing or playing music (piano, voice), baking, drawing, exploring new toys and games with the children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love seeing each child's personality, their strengths and struggles. As a Christian, my goal is to provide not only for their physical health, but also their emotional and spiritual wellbeing. I believe each person has a purpose, and it is very fulfilling to encourage people to grow better each day.

My experience with special needs children...

My experience with special needs children is limited, but I am no stranger to special needs. I have two family members with autism and schizophrenia. Many of my friends in college have autism.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I love hearing children tell stories and learning about what they find important. Once, when my 7 y.o. niece couldn't fall asleep, she called me into her room and told me all about her three crushes. One ran very fast. The other was so strong, but her favorite throws "so far!"
