We had the absolute pleasure of having Maria as our nanny for our two children, and we couldn't have asked for a more caring, reliable, and nurturing presence in our home. She worked with us for over a year.
As a native Spanish speaker, she brought the added bonus of immersing our kids in the language naturally through play, conversation, art, craft and cooking which they absolutely loved. Her patience, warmth, and ability to connect with children of different ages was remarkable. She always had creative activities planned and knew exactly how to keep them engaged, entertained, and safe.
What we appreciated most was her genuine love for children and her strong sense of responsibility. We trusted her completely, and it gave us so much peace of mind knowing our kids were in such good hands.
Any family would be incredibly lucky to have her as their nanny. We miss her dearly and highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone dependable, loving, and truly gifted with children.
