We adore Maria as does our little girl. Maria has been looking after her since she was 10 months old. She is the first person our daughter bonded with outside of her mum and dad, and Maria has been like a second mother to her. I never worry for a second when Poppy is with Maria, and I've never met someone who genuinely loves children and treats them as if they are her own. She is so kind, and so caring, and so good at her job. Thank you Maria for everything. ❤️

Maria takes care of our 1-year-old son, who enjoys spending time with her and her family. Throughout the day, we receive updates with pictures and activities he is doing. This is a safe and nurturing environment for children, and we couldn't be more grateful for her high standard of care.

Honestly, we feel so blessed to have known Maria. My little one started seeing her so we can get driving lessons and ever since then, she’s literally one message away. With her, my heart is calm knowing that my child is in safe hands. And it is the best feeling ever. Beyond grateful for what you do, Maria!

Maria has been looking after my 7yo Son since Easter during School holidays. Thomas gets on really well with Maria's lovely Daughter and they play all day in the garden, especially their big trampoline. Maria has been so welcoming and my son loves to go to her house, and mix with her family and other children. Maria provides updates and is always friendly. Her flexibility makes life so much easier, and I hope that my son goes to her house many more times in the future!
