We have had some good nannies for my son in the past but I always felt that they would rather be somewhere else. That's really stressful when you are a working mother who works a long way away and cannot drop everything and take over at a drop of a hat.

Maria is incredibly reliable. Always on time and always happy and positive. My son adores her and is happy in her care. She puts up with our demanding and spoilt cats without complaint! Maria has a lovely family of her own which obviously can be credited to how she has brought them up.

I always feel that if the train is late or I am delayed getting home for any reason I know that Maria will do whatever is needed. To put it simply, she has made life considerably easier!
