Most recent review
Maria has been a wonderful nanny for our two children and has been a life saver for our family. She goes above and beyond to help the kids thrive, whether it be to keep them fed and clean, meet and exceed their milestones, and plan really fun engaging activities for them. I'm constantly in awe of the new things our kids learn under her care. She has the biggest heart of anyone you will meet. She loves our kids as if they were her own. Any family who works with Maria should consider themselves unbelievably lucky. Our kids have thrived under her care and I trust her implicitly. Maria always goes above and beyond for our family. She keeps our house clean and tidy. She is able to accomplish more in an hour than anyone I've ever seen. She will constantly surprise us with amazing extra efforts like organizing our garage, cleaning our car, or organizing our closet during nap times. She has even grocery shopped for us. Then there is the food. Maria has a gift for cooking. Putting love into every bite. She creates unbelievably delicious meals for our family and the kids. She will edit recipes based on the diet I am on or different preferences that our family has. She takes care of our entire family. We love Maria.
