The best decision we made for our daughter.

Finding someone you trust completely with your child is one of the hardest parts of parenting. From the moment Maria joined our family, however, our worries disappeared. She cared for our daughter from age 12 months to 15 months, and we could not have asked for a more loving, capable, and dedicated nanny. We would have kept Maria with us long term if we could, but our family circumstances changed, and she will be sorely missed.

Maria joined us during a major developmental stage, as our daughter progressed from taking her first unsteady steps to toddling confidently and exploring the world around her. Maria celebrated each milestone, encouraged her curiosity, and nurtured her independence in a safe, loving environment. She also played an important role in developing our daughter’s speech and encouraging her to use words to communicate.

Maria actively engaged our daughter with age-appropriate sensory play, reading, outdoor walks, and fun learning activities that kept her happy and thriving every single day. She is always punctual, trustworthy, and well organised. She maintained our daughter’s nap and feeding schedules effortlessly, leaving us completely at ease while we were at work.
Above all, Maria’s warmth is unmatched. Our daughter’s face lit up every time Maria walked through the door, and she would run to Maria for a hug. It was incredible for us to see our daughter bond with Maria.
Maria wasn't just a nanny; she truly felt like an extension of our family. Any parents would be incredibly lucky to have her care for their little one. We give her our highest possible recommendation!
