Maria is wonderful. Maria helps with picking up my daughter from school and taking her to activities. She also babysits on weekends occasionally. My daughter loves Maria. I think Maria is very reliable, responsive, and dependable. She also communicates with me when she picks up my daughter and gives me updates. I also think she is very kind and I can tell that she enjoys being around children and children are drawn to her. I am grateful for finding Maria.

Maria is the most wonderful Nanny! She does such an amazing job with our now 7 month old baby and genuinely enjoys spending time with her. Maria is consistently on time and arrives early. She is very dependable. Maria takes my daughter outside for fresh air every day and is very thoughtful about activities she does with her throughout the day. She also keeps me updated on how she is doing during the day, including sending me photos of my baby, which always brings smiles to my face. My daughter gets very excited every morning when she sees Maria. I would highly highly recommend Maria to anyone looking for a trustworthy caregiver for their children!

Maria is an amazing nanny. We had a great experience with her. She is caring and nurturing with babies and children. She pays attention to details and is very respectful of her job. You can tell she has actually experience taking care of infants. She did a great job with my baby, she would be on the floor with him a lot which helped with his motor development. She would also read to the baby and take him to the park or library for story time. She gave me great suggestions and is very punctual and dependable. I would absolutely hire her again. She also helps with keeping the spaces neat and clean, preparing baby foods and doing the baby laundry. I could't have asked for a better child care provider. Very happy with her.

Maria is amazing!! Our two year old is fluent in Spanish thanks to her work. She has been with us over a year and is absolutely the best. She is so thoughtful and took care of me the entire 9 months I was pregnant with my second son. She plays with our son and engages in developmentally appropriate activities. She was helpful in encouraging me to find activities for my son to participate in that were akin to his interests. Maria helped with all chores related to the babies and made my life so much easier. She is polite and respectful and her even-keeled manner has helped my son learn patience and understanding. She has never yelled at him or displayed even an ounce of frustration. She is punctual and has not taken time off outside of doctor’s appointments. Maria is thoughtful and well-planned. I left my son with her when I had to travel for work and I could always count on her to keep a schedule and ensure he was well fed with healthy foods she cooked at home. She goes well above and beyond her job responsibilities. She cared for my son while we had COVID, and even cared for him when he had COVID. Maria has a car and is a very reliable driver, I feel completely comfortable with my son in her car. She drives him to classes four times a week. We paid her handsomely because she deserved it, and so much more. She is a true gem and the definition of professional. I could not ask for someone better to care for the most important things in my life- my children.

Maria is became more than a nanny to us almost immediately. With her wonderful personality, she fit right into our home. Maria is punctual and professional. She does not need to be told how to help, she automatically sees the need and fills it. She is amazing with my son. I’m fact, when he is with her, he is his most calm. She does a wonderful job at showing him affection and I trust her with making major decisions. She is wonderful to work with and goes above and beyond what is asked of her. She is a diamond in the rough.

Maria was a wonderful nanny to our 19 month old son. She’s very responsible, arrived always on time and most importantly, gave the best care to our son. She took him to the park, did crafts, sang and danced with him through the day. She did meal preparation, diapering, and was very nurturing. She also did light housekeeping. I recommend her to any one in need of a great nanny.
