This is the background check we require for all caregivers.
Experience: 8 yrs
Hi parents! I have more than 9 years of experience caring for children. I have taken care of ages 0-8 and I have experience taking care of multiple kids at the same time. I'm available for full time. I love going to walks and to the playground with the children. I love doing arts and craft with the children also. I do lots of interacting and also reading. I am a loving grandmother of three, and I am also pet friendly. I'm currently available for date nights and weekends!!! :)

We highly recommend Maria as an excellent candidate for anyone seeking experienced childcare. She is a hard-working, reliable, and caring person who worked as the nanny for our family for 18 months from 2023 into 2024. She is the most amazing nanny anyone could ask for which was demonstrated through her incredibly attentive care of our son who was one-year-old at the time she was hired. She has continued to work with him through his second birthday when we decided to transition him from at-home care to daycare at a junior pre-school. We have always been impressed with the way Maria has sought to expand her impact to our household through helping with our son’s laundry, washing dishes from lunch, and light cleaning following the day’s activities. Additionally, she was always very flexible in accommodating unique care situations or schedules such as the needs around doctor visits and needing to work late. Maria was always punctual, typically arriving early to make it possible for our son to participate in local play groups or activities at the library. Her work ethic was incredible and demonstrated patience and integrity in all of her time with us. In general, she has been amazing to work with because of her very positive attitude. Maria is well-informed when it comes to managing the growth and development of infants and toddlers. She was always able to share books, songs, toys, and games that were age-appropriate and engaging as our son grew in her care. Maria is also a very thoughtful person and planned holiday and birthday parties with little gifts and treats. For these reasons, we recommend Maria without any reservations for any position involving the care of young children. She is an invaluable asset to anyone seeking wonderful and joyful care. Sincerely, Nathaniel & Katlynn
