Most recent review
We are so grateful to have found Maria. She has been an absolute gift to our family while caring for our 10-month-old son. From day one, Maria brought both expertise and genuine warmth. She worked with us to establish a healthy sleeping schedule for him, something that has made a world of difference for our entire household. She also patiently taught him to signal when he's hungry, a skill that has improved communication and reduced so much frustration for all of us. What truly sets Maria apart is her creativity and intentionality. She designed custom sensory activities tailored specifically to his development, and you can see the impact in how engaged and curious he is. It's clear she doesn't just care for children; she genuinely invests in their growth. Maria's time with our family has been a true gift. We couldn't recommend her more highly to any parent looking for someone who is skilled, thoughtful, and deeply caring.
