Mariz came to us at a time of need- it was going to be ad hoc for a short time. She did the role perfectly. She really got right down to our toddler son's level and was a true playmate and friend. He loved her. She thought up activities for them to do and brought in puzzles, crafts, art, went to the play ground. Super responsible and ready to jump in with whatever he needed done. Great attention to detail, gentle, well presented and personable. High recommended.
