Maria is fabulous. She looks after my two very different children. My daughter is generally fairly easy, my son is more strong willed and Maria more than copes with both of their varying needs.

She is very reliable and given enough notice and within reason, very flexible too. Her house is clean and a perfect environment for children to play and learn, from what I can see.

I'd recommend Maria to anyone. She treats children with warmth, care and professionalism. I've changed my days that I work, rather than change my wonderful child minder!
