Introduction
Dear Family,
My name is Maria, and I am an experienced educator and childcare professional with over 10 years of experience working with children of different ages in South Africa, China, the United Kingdom, and online.
Working with children has always been one of the greatest joys in my life. I believe every child is unique and deserves to feel safe, supported, encouraged, and understood. My approach combines kindness, patience, creativity, and structure to help children grow in confidence while enjoying the learning process.
Throughout my career, I have worked as a classroom teacher, Head International Teacher, curriculum developer, tutor, arts and crafts facilitator, and childcare provider. I have experience caring for and teaching children from infancy through to teenagers, and I am comfortable supporting daily routines, educational activities, creative play, outdoor adventures, homework assistance, and emotional wellbeing.
I am a qualified educator with international teaching experience and have worked closely with families from many different cultural backgrounds. Parents often describe me as calm, dependable, organised, nurturing, and highly dedicated to the children in my care.
Outside of education, I have a passion for creativity, movement, wellbeing, nature, art, and healthy living. I enjoy sharing these interests with children through age-appropriate activities that encourage curiosity, confidence, imagination, and personal growth.
I am looking for a family where I can become a trusted and positive part of daily life while providing a safe, supportive, and enriching environment for your children.
Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. I look forward to getting to know your family and learning more about your children's unique personalities, interests, and needs.
Warm regards,
Maria Pieterse
