Maria defines 'Godsend'. We hired Maria in 2015, she cared for my 3 year old son & 7 year old daughter until my son went to Kindergarten & we did not have a need anymore. She was born to nurture, enrich & care for children. My family & myself are better people because of this amazing woman. She is forever family to us, & we will never lose touch with her. My children adore & love her. She invested so much into each of my children, she taught through play. Nature walks, swimming, picnics, hikes, the battleship Texas, every park you can think of, I could go on & on. She is tireless & present. I trust her implicitly. She is not a push over & respects herself, if my children were sassy or smart, she would correct them and provide detailed notes as to what happened, how she handled it & the outcome. I loved this because being in the know of what your children are doing & being on the same page to correct behavior typically yields a positive outcome. She is AMAZING.
