“Maria worked as our nanny from when my son was about 6 months old to preschool. He is 5 1/2 years old now and we still keep in touch for babysitting. She is one of the warmest most caring people that I know. She really gives her heart and her caring to any child she is watching and to their family as well. My son loves her. They have a special bond. He does see her as a person with authority but has also come to see her as a friend over the years. He loves to talk with her and tell her about his day. She has a lot more energy than we do as tired parents! She is always on time, always reliable, she’s here when she says she’s going be. She’ll give us a head up with more than enough time to plan ahead if anything at all comes up, we may have had a cancellation once in over 5 years of knowing her. I would absolutely recommend Maria to any parent in fact I’ve found it hard to have other sitters than Maria because we just have come to trust her so much and she is so great with our son. I don’t think any family would have a hard time warming up to Maria right away and being really happy with her care of their children.”  - Laura M.
