I am a single mother, working full time. I was looking for someone for my son Ethan to be picked up to and from school, who would be reliable, flexible and I could count on.

A friend recommended Marilena. She met her when 'Mary' was running a pick-up or drop off at the school our children go to.

She has turned up to be the perfect choice. I am especially happy with a variety of after-school activities she organises for Ethan such as crafts and painting, picnics in the park, trips to the local farm and various games appropriate for his age; also helping him with his homework.

Ethan is always kept very busy at Mary's, leaving her place with lots of stories to share every day. It's nothing better than seeing your kid happy and excited like that. I would recommend Marilena without a doubt to anyone looking for a competent and reliable child care.
