Maria has been an absolute star for our family. She has cared for my two autistic children on numerous occasions — from short jobs and longer daytime shifts to overnight stays — and she’s been wonderful every single time. She’s always on time, completely dependable, and someone I trust without hesitation.

What I appreciate most is how kind, patient, and understanding she is. She really takes the time to get to know each of my children, learning what makes them feel comfortable and supported. Her calm and gentle approach has made such a positive difference, and my kids absolutely love spending time with her — they’re always excited when she comes over!

She’s great at keeping routines, managing bedtime smoothly, and keeping the children happily engaged throughout the day. I’ve never had a single problem or worry while she’s been looking after them. It’s rare to find someone who combines professionalism with such genuine care and warmth.

I couldn’t recommend Maria highly enough — any family would be incredibly lucky to have her.
