About Maria

To whom it may concern: My name is Greg and I am a retired U-46 school teacher. I have been watching my grandchildren and that is how I met Maria. She is a nanny. Here are the observations I have made about her over the last three years. Planning: Maria takes the children to age appropriate activities that help promote growth and development. For example, she takes the children to a State of Illinois sponsored pre-school that is taught by a licensed Illinois teacher with a Master’s degree. She takes them to storytimes at the public library, which promote interest in childhood literature, reading and music. She also reads to them. She takes them to crafts activities that help develop fine motor skills. She also takes them to parks and zoos to enjoy outdoor physical activities. Social interactions with children: Maria is deeply concerned about helping children develop socially appropriate interactions. She is always kind and understanding when guiding a child to appropriate behavior. She loves the children she cares for. Professionalism: Maria is always polite, kind and understanding, which models behaviors she wants to develop in the children she is caring for. I can highly recommend Maria to be your nanny, if she has any openings. Please don’t wait too long to decide, because other people will recognize her outstanding qualities.
