Maria Laura M.

Maria Laura has been our nanny for the past two years, and it’s hard to overstate how much we love and appreciate her. Due to a change in circumstances, we’re sadly no longer able to keep her on—but she has truly become part of our family, and we wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone lucky enough to bring her into their home. Everyone who sees her with our son immediately comments on how loving, patient, and attentive she is. Even my sister-in-law, a former stay-at-home mom, once said that if she had ever hired a nanny, she would have wanted it to be Laura. Some standout qualities: - Always on time – Never once late in two years. Reliable and professional. Fluent in both English and Spanish – Our toddler is well on his way to being bilingual thanks to her. - Calm, nurturing presence – She gets our 2.5-year-old to nap more easily than we can! - Takes initiative – Finds free local activities like library storytimes and park outings every day. - No screen time – She engages with our son through play, learning, and flashcards. I work from home and can confirm this firsthand. - Light housework = life saver – She washes bottles, loads the dishwasher, tidies up, and preps meals during naps. - Promotes independence – Taught our son to clean up his own toys. - Cares for older child, too – Picks up our 9-year-old from school and preps snacks and dinner. And perhaps most importantly: our moms love her. That alone speaks volumes! Maria Laura is a gift to any household. She’s more than a nanny—she’s a kind, steady, and enriching presence that any family would be lucky to have.
