Marisa started childminding my son towards the end of 2016, at that stage he was still breastfeeding and didn't want to take the bottle.....it stressed me out so much but Marisa stayed calm throughout the whole struggle(which didn't last long) and went on to guide myself and my son through fussy eating,trying different approaches to encourage him to eat various foods and always had advice of options to try. Marisa provides a great environment for the kids to learn,explore and grow. She keeps a close eye on any interests the kids might have and encourages them to develop skills and grow in their interests. They paint,draw,do crafts,go to groups and even followed the life cycle of the caterpillar into a butterfly. I leave my son with Marisa and go to work with peace of mind knowing he's happy and well cared for. Maria's kids are great with the other kids too and my son has a soft spot for her daughter Charlotte. mMarisa's home is my son's home away from home and I'm so pleased I found Marisa when I went back to work.
