About Maria

I truly enjoy being with children and investing in them, helping them to achieve their full potential. I am a strong proponent of early children's literacy and believe in allowing children to play and explore so as to engage their full creative faculties. My most recent experience consisted of caring for three children ages 2, 3, and 10. When I lived in Orlando, Florida, I took care a newborn full time. Additionally, I cared for two children, ages 3 and 6, within the past three years. I am a homemaker, and while raising my own 2 beautiful children, I also cared for my niece and nephew so that my sister could work. I currently volunteer my time at church on a regular basis in the children's ministry. I am fully bilingual, being fluent in both English and Spanish, and would be able to assist children in any language enrichment program they may be part of. My passion for caring for others also led me to work for the elderly for two years and I am now currently certified as a Home Health Aide and am a Certified Nurse Assistant. In addition to these qualifications, I am certified in CPR and First Aid for children.
