My Summary
About Me
Hi there! I'm Maria, and I absolutely love working with kids. For me, it's not just about watching them; it's about creating a happy, safe space where they can really thrive. I've spent the past year getting to know kids of all ages, and I've learned how important it is to really connect with them and help them learn and grow.
Think of me as a helping hand for busy families. I can do everything from:
Babysitting: You can count on me to give your little ones my full attention and care.
Homework Help: I'm happy to lend a hand with reading, math, or whatever they're working on.
Making Meals: I love whipping up healthy and tasty food that kids will actually eat!
Fun Times!: We'll do arts and crafts, tell stories, play games – anything to keep them entertained and learning.
Outdoor Adventures: If the weather's nice, we'll head outside for some swimming or playtime.
I truly believe that every child deserves to feel supported and have fun. My goal is to be someone you can trust and your kids will look forward to seeing.
If you're looking for someone who's reliable, caring, and genuinely loves being around kids, please get in touch! I'd love to chat about how I can help your family.
My Experience
I'm someone who genuinely enjoys being around kids and helping them grow. For the past few years, I've been working with children in different ways – from babysitting and helping with homework to providing extra learning support. I've learned how to connect with each child individually and create a fun, supportive atmosphere where they can really flourish.
Because I've also helped teach, I know how to make learning engaging and adapt to different learning styles, even for kids who might need a little extra help. Plus, I'm fully trained in CPR and First Aid, so you can feel confident your children are safe with me.
I'm all about building strong relationships with both kids and parents. I want to provide care that's both enriching and enjoyable, giving you peace of mind. If you're looking for someone who's reliable and truly cares, let's chat.
My Qualifications
I'm passionate about providing a safe and enriching environment for children. My background blends practical childcare experience with a strong educational foundation. For several years, I've worked directly with children, from casual babysitting to more structured tutoring sessions. This hands-on experience has taught me how to connect with kids of all ages and adapt my approach to their individual needs.
My teaching experience adds another layer of expertise. I understand how to make learning engaging and effective, even for children who face learning challenges. I'm skilled at tailoring my methods to different learning styles and providing the extra support some children require. Safety is also a top priority. I have taken training in CPR and First Aid, giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in capable hands.
Ultimately, I strive to create a warm, supportive, and stimulating environment where children can thrive. I'm dedicated to providing reliable, high-quality childcare that meets the unique needs of each family I work with. I'd love to discuss how I can support your family.
My Availability
I'm currently working on my master's degree, which means I have classes during the week. Specifically, Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays are when I'm in class, so my availability on those days is a bit tighter. However, I'm definitely open to figuring things out! I know schedules can be tricky, and I'm happy to chat about how we could make childcare work for your family, even with my class times.
Think of Mondays and Tuesdays as my more flexible days. I have a lot more open time then. Weekends are also an option, though I'd need to know in advance so I can plan around any other commitments. If you have particular times in mind, just let me know. We can look at my class schedule and your needs together and see if we can find a good fit. I'm all about being flexible and finding a solution that works for everyone.
