About Maris

I'd describe my personality as fun, kind, and understanding. I am a creative person as well; I have a Bachelor's Degree in Creative Writing and hope to be an author someday. I like working with kids because I find kids to be really fun and interesting people. They're such creative people, and I find there's always something interesting to learn from them. They have a unique way of looking at the world. I started working with kids professionally when I started substitute teaching in January of 2024. I have experience with all grade levels, pre-k through high school. In my spare time, I like to read, write, and draw. I'm a creative person generally, and I feel like that is a great way to be when working with kids. Sometimes you have to come up with fun stuff for them to do! One thing you should know about me is I have experience babysitting! Before I went to college, I often babysat for family friends for evenings or multiple days, so I have experience with this kind of childcare.
