My name is Maria Alejandra, and I am a professional early childhood educator from Colombia. I have over five years of experience working with children and families as a teacher, nanny, au pair, and private tutor. My passions include child development, literature, arts, play, and nature exploration. I love to dance and sing in my free time. I have experience with experiential, Waldorf, Montessori, and alternative educational methodologies. I am a native Spanish speaker with advanced English skills and basic Portuguese proficiency. One of my goals is to further improve my English for both professional and personal development. I enjoy creating special connections with those around me, especially children, as I believe they have much to teach us. I strive to create fun and loving learning environments. For me, communication is invaluable; it fosters clarity, boundaries, respect, connection, quality time, and trust.
