About

 I do love working with young children and their  families so i have been doing it so for over  27 years. I have been an educator for the last  17, previous to this service i was group leader at a childcare centre;I where i worked for 10 years .

My philosophy when working with young lives  is that " every child is unique" and they thrive in a loving and nurturing environment; where playing experiences are fundamental for their growth and brain developtment .  Also the use of natural materials for learning and respect for nature it's essential at young age , I encourage families and children in my service to have a more sustainable approach with the use of recycling, reuse and re purpose material to reduce carbon footprint. For that reason children play in the garden ,  having a worm farm, reduce the use of plastic , etc   . 

My service will cover the cost for celebrations, excursions  and  regular outings to local library and parks ,  linen and towels  is also taken care of as well as generic  sunscreen  unless you have a prefered brand .

I have introduce in our routine a dental care program so the children learn at young age to care for their dental health, a starter pack it is also provided  .

I have to discloses that i have  a very good supporting  network  with my scheme . 

Also i love to be  inclusive and encourage parents to be participative my program . 

If you need more info please don't hesitate to contact me

Maria is an excellent carer and a highly professional child care provider. She has an interest in teaching my son and provides frequent updates of the fantastic daily activities he partakes in. If you are looking for someone to look after your child, Maria is highly recommended .

Our family has been so blessed to secure a position for our little man - 3 yrs. Miss Maria, as we fondly call her, has eased all of our insecurity, and nervousness surrounding leaving our child. She is so kind and genuine with a true love for early childhood care and education, which certainly comes through when one looks at the well thought out activities Miss Maria puts together for the children. A sense of excitement greets us every day. If you are looking for a care provider for your young child, and if you want to ensure that you find someone who values your child’s individual development, someone who respects the diversity that each family presents, and who truly creates an enjoyable experience, then you and your child need to request an appointment to come and meet our beautiful Miss Maria. You will feel like you’re leaving your child with family!

Maria is amazing! She has been apart of our family for over 4 years now. Firstly by taking care of my daughter from 1 year old until she reached school age and now my son who she has taken care of since he was 1. He is currently completing his kindy year with her. Maria has not only taken amazing care of my kids over this time like they were her own but she has always, from the day I met her made me feel so comfortable leaving my kids in her care. She goes above and beyond with years of experience giving them a safe and fun environment they can learn and thrive in. I cannot recommend her enough and any family would be lucky to have such an amazing care giver taking care of their children.
