About Maria

I am a graduate student (Ivy-League trained) with over 10 years experience in teaching & working with children. As a child growing up in England, I wanted to become a nanny after I watched Mary Poppins. I received early experience in baby sitting by taking care of my nephews & nieces during my teenage years. I am additionally experienced in housekeeping and have worked as a professional cook. I have expertise in making meals suitable to a variety of dietary restrictions including vegan, low carb, (a variety of) international cuisine, halal & kosher. I enjoy reading, and I have worked in a library. I love to read to children. I have lived in 7 countries & can speak diverse languages including English and French. I love meeting people from diverse backgrounds and interacting with people from all cultures. I am CPR & First Aid trained (American Red Cross). I am an experienced driver with a valid license and extensive driving experience including driving across States and also across the US/ Canada border. I look forward to working with you and your family!
