Great references! Experience with infants and toddlers. Bilingual English and Spanish. Love to play, sing and dance. Love to read books. Love going on walks to the park. Love doing arts and crafts.

Kind and loving to our daughter. Patient, supportive, very experienced. Stayed professional, and easy to communicate with. 

Maria Elena is wonderful. She has been incredibly loving and has created a strong bond with our daughter in the past year. She has the experience to deal with almost any situation and we have immense trust in her caring for our daughter. Our daughter is heading to pre-school in the fall, otherwise we would happily continue with Maria Elena and would certainly hire her again.

Maria Elena cared for our daughter for about a year, from when she was 8 months old to starting pre-school, and we can’t recommend her highly enough.  She has decades of experience, which shone through as she helped us navigate the many transitions and challenges that came up.  She offered guidance, while always respecting our preferences.  Our daughter loves Maria Elena, running to the door every morning to greet her with a hug and smile.  Maria Elena has consistently found age appropriate activities for our daughter, taking her to parks, music classes, story time, libraries, and play dates every day.  Our daughter has learned so much with Maria Elena, including Spanish (Maria Elena is bilingual in Spanish and English).  She prioritizes communication and keeps us informed with daily updates and photos.  She is warm and loving with our daughter, and our whole family will miss her when our daughter starts pre-school! 

Maria Elena cared for our daughter and another child in our nanny share since our daughter was 4 months old. During the two years she was with us she became part of our family and a trusted guide to us as new parents. She is kind, loving, punctual, communicative, and overall just a wonderful person and true caretaker. 

Maria Elena is a native Spanish speaker but speaks perfect English. She has nearly two decades of experience working with children of all ages, up-to-date on CPR training and Trust line certified. She was active in our neighborhood, taking the kiddos on long walks and to parks, and a true pro when it came to feedings and transitioning to solids. She also does light housework (childrens laundry and tidying up). 

I whole heartedly and without any reservations recommend Maria Elena - any family would be lucky to work with her.

Maria was our nanny for two years and she is great. Our son loves her. She is extremely punctual and reliable and she helped us out so much. I am happy to give a referral on the phone (Maria can share my contact info).

Maria Elena worked with our family for two years from when our baby was 5 months until 2 and a half years old. He loves her! She is reliable, great with babies, and super helpful to our whole household. I would absolutely recommend her and we were sad to see her go when our son started preschool.

Love! That is the word I would use to describe what Maria Elena does best. I'd add in fun as well. She provides a safe and loving environment where children thrive emotionally and physically. She's one of my daughter's favorite people and in her eyes'...one of her closest friends.

Maria Elena is FANTASTIC. She was our son's nanny as part of a share for over two years, and we are so sad to lose her. Maria Elena is loving, warm and caring with the kids. For parents, she is a very good communicator, reliable, punctual and flexible when needed. Maria Elena is bilingual (English and spanish) and never stops engaging the kids - lots of singing, dancing, reading and imaginary play every day. At the end of the day, the kids are well-fed, well-napped and worn out! Maria Elena is first-aid and CPR certified and has 10 years of experience (not to mention raising daughters of her own!)

While she was taking care of our child, Maria Elena's tasks include all necessary care for the kids - diapers, naps, etc - as well as feeding them. She cleans up after the kids every day and keeps their space tidy. She loves taking the kids to any parks within walking distance and will spend lots of time outdoors. I really can't recommend Maria Elena enough - we love her!

Maria has taken great care of our daughter for over a year as part of a nanny share. We are sad our time with Maria is coming to an end as our daughter starts preschool. Maria spends a lot of time outside at the park with the kids, even walking further to take them to the one with shade. Also, she likes to sing, listen to music, and teach the kids Spanish. Best of all, Maria loves the kids.

Maria has been our full time nanny for the last 2.5 years for our nanny share and has been an amazing nanny for us. She has a wealth of experience working with kids for the last 10 years and has helped my son grow more than I ever could have imagined. She takes the kids to the park for hours on end, plays music for them at the house and teaches them Spanish as well. After the last 2.5 years we view her as family and I couldn't recommend her any more highly!
