Maria Av's Reviews

Trustworthy and reliable

I highly recommend Maria to anyone who needs a safe, trust-worthy and experienced pair of hands in looking after your little ones. I am a fist time mom without extended family living in London so I needed someone to guide me through all the do’s and don’ts of looking after a newborn - and boy, did she come to the rescue! Maria joined me and my husband from the first week after our baby was born to help and guide us along the way - from tricks on how to better set up the baby room, consumables for baby, to help in giving baby’s first bath, looking after the belly button and then advice on how to care for my little one when sick, she was my helping friend through it all (always caring, supportive and skilled on handling the nerves of a 1st time mom). She is always on time, always in good spirits and a great person to be around both for me and for my baby (who sometimes seems more at ease in her arms than in mine :) ) She was always very responsive and oftentimes her help goes beyond expectations; she was always there to help even when I needed advice over the phone and her care extends beyond ‘working hours’ , as not once it happened for her to check-up on us over the phone. She has valuable advice to offer also in terms of best foods for breastfeeding moms and I can tell you her lentil soup is one of the best I tried.

Excellent nanny

Maria looked after our 9 month old and did a fabulous job! She’s very professional, always on time and made sure my baby was clean and fed. She was very honest with her communication and made sure to keep us updated. Highly recommend her.

A reliable nanny and a kind person!

Maria has been a lovely nanny for our children at the age of 9 months and 6 years when she started. She is very reliable and safety minded. She is kind and loving and always joins with a smile. Her experience with babies was obvious from the beginning. She also did weaning and batch cooking for us. She is well organised and good with reporting when the children have activities or were ill. She is always ready with a helping hand for the whole family. She also has a good sense of humour! The children like her and they obviously feel comfortable around her. Maria also likes to organise housekeeping and could easily be given all kind of responsibilities from arranging the haircut of the children or their doctors appointments, collecting their prescription medicines. She is open minded regarding the routines of each family and how the family wish things to be done in the household. She is has an excellent record of always arriving on time and showing up even when she was feeling unwell!

Maria was amazing

Maria looked after my 7 month old baby girl for few days, while our regular nanny was on holiday. She was amazing, very caring and always with positive attitude. Very reliable and willing to help with anything regarding my baby. Our little girl loved spending time with her and we would definitely recommend Maria to other people/families.

Reliable and charming nanny

Maria takes care of our 1 and 4 year old - and they as well as we are very happy with her. She has a good connection with the children, is very reliable and safetyminded. She also helps with light housework in the house, and takes initiatives both on things to be done in the house and activities to do with the children. She is confident and do not loose her calm in unexpected or stressful situations. We would definetly have kept her if we were not moving abroad this summer!
