I'm Maria, a film school graduate and experienced caregiver passionate about storytelling and outdoor activities. My professional experience in caregiving started in high school, and was heightened with the recent addition of my niece, inspiring my dedication to create joyful environments for children. Proficient in scriptwriting and enthusiastic about art, sports, and nature, I embrace each babysitting opportunity as a chance to enlighten kids about my passions. I am also available to help with English homework, cultivate their literary skills, and provide companionship. My two-year caregiving journey has earned me trustworthiness from families since gaining my lifeguard and babysitter certifications in 2019. I am adept at managing chores like cooking, light housekeeping, errand running, and pet care. I'm sensitive to special dietary needs and ensure they're strictly followed. Comfortable with all child age groups, I can care for up to three kids at once. Based in Vancouver, I'm immediately available during weekdays, offering both full and part-time services, and open to live-out arrangements. With a unique blend of lifelong childcare experience, certified nanny training, and a fun approach, I can provide your children with a secure and nurturing environment. Eager to support your family, I am prepared to shoulder nanny, housekeeper or babysitter responsibilities.

Through my high school years, I consistently babysat for two families: one with two girls (ages 9 and 11) and one with three boys (ages 3, 5, and 9). I also have experience with newborns, as my sister had a baby a year ago. In 2019, I became a certified babysitter, as well as a certified lifeguard with first aid training included in my course.
