Maria Portillo

Caring, dependable, and experienced childcare provider with more than 27 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I am bilingual in English and Spanish and enjoy creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment where children can learn, play, and grow. I am patient, organized, and attentive to each child’s individual needs, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

I also hold a Certified Caregiver certificate from Oxnard Adult Education.
