About Maria

It is with a mix of sadness and immense gratitude that I write this recommendation for our incredible nanny, who is relocating out of state. She has been an integral part of our family for over two years, caring for my son from the time he was just 3 months old up until 30 months. From day one, she didn’t just watch our son; she took complete ownership of his development. She is proactive, deeply knowledgeable, and treats her role as a true profession. Whether it was navigating sleep transitions, recommending the best developmental toys, or introducing nutritious new foods, we completely trusted her guidance. She filled my son's days with structured, engaging, and joyful activities. She is creative and organized. Maria spent countless hours reading, working on arts and crafts, and creating tailored sensory activities. She took regular trips to the library, playgroups, and local activities to ensure he was socializing and exploring. As a parent and first time mother, she was a dream to partner with. She is an excellent communicator, thoughtful, asks the right questions, and follows instructions while maintaining our family's routines. Her energy is naturally bright, positive, and genuinely which created a wonderful, nurturing environment in our home. She has truly become like family to us. Watching her transform our tiny infant into a thriving, curious, and confident 2.5-year-old has been a gift. Any family lucky enough to hire her will be getting an absolute gem of a caregiver and a wonderful human being. We will miss her terribly and cannot recommend her highly enough.
