Most recent review
Maria was the most excellent caregiver I’ve had to date. Not only did she take care of my 6 month old (fed, bathed him, sung to him and played with him) she jumped in to help with anything she could (laundry, sorting his closet, packing for a trip, light housekeeping). I can’t recommend her enough.
