Reviews
Maria has been wonderful. She is great with our kids. She gets our son to actually eat his lunch which is a feat and he is always excited when she comes by, She's a natural with kids. Overall, we've found her to be thoughtful and dependable.
Maria has been working for us for about 10 months. And in nutshell, she has been a godsend for us.
I have to admit, I was one of those very new nervous moms who had a very hard time with leaving my babies with anyone besides family.
Maria very soon won me over (and my kids!). She is very respectful, kind, and clearly loves children. She's a natural. She always came with a smile, no matter what else was going on. She is dependable, a hard worker, and helps out in many thoughtful ways (little and big) to make my harried life easier. And most importantly she takes care of my kids lovingly, just as she does her own.
Maria started sitting for us a few weeks ago and we have been very pleased with her. She cares for my 2-year-old daughter and 4-month-old son. My 2-year-old daughter always says that she has a lot of fun with Maria. Maria left me detailed notes with when both of my children had slept, eaten and when she had changed diapers. It was great to know exactly what had gone on while I was away. We would definitely recommend Maria.
