Maria has watched my daughter and my neighbor's son full time for the past six months, and she has been absolutely amazing. She even worked a miracle by getting my breastfed baby to take a bottle after we tried (and failed) for a couple of months. Maria quickly earned our trust through consistent communication and pictures throughout each day. Not only does she keep the babies safe, happy, fed, and clean, but she is very knowledgable about the milestones each baby should be meeting. She ensures they are participating in age appropriate activities (singing to them, going to story time at the local library, meeting with other nannies and babies at a local park) and exercises that keep them engaged and developing. Unfortunately, my husband was recently laid off and we are no longer able to afford a nanny for our daughter. We wholeheartedly recommend Maria, and we wish we could keep working with her!
