I would like to share my experience for Mary. Since we shifted for a project from India for 9 months to UK, we were searching for a good childminder for our 17 month old.
Mary has been a fantastic care taker for my kid. Not only he enjoyed his day but also he learnt quite a few things to become an independent kid. Mary also used to take very good care of his food requirements.
My son is so attached to her that he remembers her even after coming back to India.
If given a chance, I would like to go back to her to take care of my kid. With fond memories and love - geetanjali.
