"Maria is very good. She brings her 3 yo daughter along to play with my 3 yo son, but she (somehow) put my kids first when she is here. I appreciate all the help she brings to our family. If the kids are busy playing she doesn't sit, she cleans the kitchen a little and make sure to pick up after the kids. I have total faith in her. She is very sweet and kind with the baby and I recommend her to anyone. "

Fantastic
"We loved having Maria. My baby took to her right away and she was good with my three year old. Her daughter is very sweet. I felt completely at ease leaving my girls when she was with them, and that says a lot."

dream come true for my family
"My son absolutely adores Maria and immediately gives her a hug when she arrives. Maria teaches him new words, sings songs, reads books, and plays games with him. She brings him to story time at the library and often takes him to the park. In fact, they have discovered new parks in our neighborhood to explore. I am constantly impressed with the creative ways in which she spends her time with him. We are also very excited to see that he is able to respond to directions she gives in Spanish.
Maria is an incredibly motivated, helpful, and thoughtful caregiver... When I return home from work my house is always clean, the laundry is always done, and often times she has even made me a delicious meal. Maria does all of this without me ever having to ask; she sees what needs to be done and she does it.
Her cooking skills are so impressive; I am often amazed what she is able to put together for dinner just by using whatever she finds in the cupboards. She also is willing to make whatever meals I request and they are always amazing. My husband and I trust her completely and know that our son is in excellent hands whenever he is with her. She is positively fabulous in every way and I give her my highest recommendation."

To Whom It May Concern:
I am delighted to write a letter of recommendation of behalf of Maria Garcia. Maria has cared for my children in various capacities for over a year, and I can say with confidence that she has been an outstanding caretaker. I feel so fortunate to have found someone so professional, hard-working, and attentive to my children. I recommend her wholeheartedly.
As single father and a high school teacher, I have relied heavily on Maria to provide early morning care for my three elementary-aged boys. On weekday mornings during this past school year, Maria was scheduled to arrive at my house at 6:30 A.M., so that I could get to work by 7:00. She was utterly reliable. She was always on time and always walked in the door with a smile on her face.
I feel so fortunate that, even though the hour was early, I could always count on Maria to approach her job with the utmost professionalism. Maria is also great with my kids. She engages them in activities such as playing soccer, dancing, or jumping on the trampoline, but also senses when they are engaged on their own and
gives them space to do so. Maria is kind to my boys but also maintains authority and sets appropriate behavioral boundaries.
My children are not always easy to handle, but Maria always handles their behavior in fair and appropriate ways. She also communicates with me quickly if she has a concern or feels that she needs my input on something. Finally, Maria’s extensive training as a nurse makes me feel confident that she can handle any situation regarding the health of my children.
Finally, I greatly appreciate how proactive Maria is when it comes to helping me around the house. Although I never ask her to do anything except engage with my children, she always finds time to help with dishes, minor cleaning and even laundry. Again, because I have no other help caring for my boys when they’re with me, I greatly appreciate Maria’s willingness to help out beyond what her actual job description states. She has saved me hours and hours just by helping out consistently in small ways.
Sincerely,
Alex S. / June 11th, 2013
