Hi, are you looking for someone to take care of your children for a special occasion or date night? Let me tell you about me: My name is Maria, I am 40 years old, proudly married to a veteran and together we have 4 beautiful children. I have a degree in Early Childhood Education, I have training with certificates of completion Issued by the Penn State Better Kid Care Program, Certificate of Completion for Caregiver, with experience in early childhood stimulation in all areas. I like working with children because with them you learn to be fun, seeing their smiles is priceless, you can experience the joy of seeing them progress in something new that you have taught them. I would describe my personality as cheerful with kindness, responsible and communication is important to me. I am also Mexican, so that could be an advantage if you want me to teach your son a second language.
Denisse (her middle and preferred name) has been with our family for about 3.5 years, caring for our son since he was seven months old and, more recently, our infant daughter too. We're only parting ways because we're relocating out of state. Otherwise, we'd never let her go. She is absolutely PHENOMENAL. She has a strong background in childhood education and an extensive history working with and caring for young children. She's attentive, responsible, and truly invested in our kids' happiness and development, always planning age-appropriate activities and offering guidance I needed as a new mom. She's taught our son Spanish, giving him a wonderful bilingual foundation, and he loves spending time at her home with her family. It's become a real "home away from home" for him. Beyond childcare, Denisse takes full ownership of keeping kids' things organized, restocking, managing the kids' clothes, and communicating proactively and openly about schedules and needs. I cannot overstate how highly I think of Denisse and recommend her without reservation.
