Hello families โบ๏ธ
My name is Maria, Iโm 30 years old and originally from Chile, currently living in Perth.
I have many years of experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns and babies to older kids and teenagers. I feel especially comfortable caring for babies and toddlers (0โ2 years old), and I genuinely enjoy creating a calm, loving and safe environment where children feel happy, supported and encouraged to learn.
I started babysitting when I was around 15 years old, and coming from a big family, I naturally grew up helping care for my younger siblings as well. Iโm a very caring, responsible, patient and trustworthy person, and I truly enjoy spending time with children and supporting their development through play, routines and daily care ๐
I also studied Education/Teaching for two years before changing careers, and during my university years I worked as a private maths tutor for children and teenagers. Because of this, I really enjoy helping children learn, explore their curiosity and build confidence in a fun and positive way.
Iโm more than happy to help with:
โข Playtime and activities
โข Bedtime and nap routines
โข Feeding and general baby care
โข School or daycare pick-ups
โข Homework support
โข Keeping your little ones safe, entertained and comfortable
I also have:
โข International Driverโs Licence
โข WWC Check
โข Police Check
โข Plenty of references from parents
I donโt currently have a First Aid certificate, but Iโm more than happy to get one if needed.
Feel free to message me if youโd like to have a chat or meet โ๏ธ
