Mariel

Kind, caring and dedicated

My daughter started with Mariela at 10 months old and settled quickly. Mariela is extremely caring, positive and dedicated to ensuring that children have a good day. She noticed when my daughter needed a little more care and reassurance, for example, when she was teething. She encouraged play, songs and learning new sounds and words.

Amazing

Mariela has looked after my son daily since he was very young, and I couldn’t have asked for a more caring, supportive, and patient person to help guide him through these early years. From providing healthy lunches and taking him on exciting trips, to helping me with potty training and teaching him something new every single day – Mariela has been a true blessing.

Her calm and nurturing approach gave my son the confidence to grow and flourish. He always came home happy. The learning, fun, and love he received in her care have given him the best possible start.

Now that he’s turning 3 and moving on to school, we will miss her deeply – but we’ll always be grateful for the incredible foundation she helped build. Thank you, Mariela, for everything you’ve done for our family. You are truly one of a kind.

Thank you so much for your beautiful and touching words. It truly means the world to me to know that I’ve been able to play a positive role in your son’s early years. Watching him grow, learn, and gain confidence has been such a joy and a privilege. He is a very special little boy, and I feel so lucky to have been a part of his journey.

I will miss him (and all of you!) very much, but I’m also so proud of the little person he’s becoming. I have no doubt he’ll continue to shine and thrive as he starts school.

Thank you again for your trust, kindness, and support. Your family will always have a special place in my heart.
With Love
Mariela

Wonderful Childminder

Mariela is a very good childminder who I would recommend as someone who you can trust to look after your child. Mariela looks after my 20 month old daughter and does various activities in the home and trips out which my daughter really enjoys. My daughter really enjoys Mariela’s meals too. Mariela is very experienced and reliable. She is very good with children.

Hello Sarah,

Thank you very much for your review. I always have a lovely time with Charlotte; she is a very smart girl. x

Caring and Experienced Nanny

Mariela has extensive experience with children with over 25 years of working with them. She has taken care of our children from toddlers to tweens with care and attention and we have enjoyed welcoming her into our family.
Mariela is very creative and fun, she plays with our youngest child singing and doing arts and crafts, taking her to after-nursery clubs and the park and encouraging her to learn Spanish. She also picks up the older children from school, cooks dinner, and plays games with them all.
Mariela is patient and remains calm even when she needs to be firm with the kids. I find Mariela to be trustworthy and kind and she takes the responsibility of keeping our children safe seriously whilst having fun with them.
Mariela is a lovely lady who is tidy and helpful the children have lots fun with her whilst learning at the same time.
