We are so grateful for Maria and the care she provides for our family. She takes our 4-year-old to school every day and has been instrumental in helping him build independence. They often make breakfast together in the mornings, and she has taught him how to get dressed on his own. She also occasionally babysits our 9-year-old and 4-year-old together and enjoys taking them to different places around our community. She is trustworthy, reliable, and a wonderful presence in our children’s lives.
