Maria was lovely and a pleasure to have looking after our 10mo son. She arrived early and was great with communication. We had no issues whilst we were away and our son seemed to enjoy his time with her.
We would definitely love to hire Maria again if we return to Melbourne for another holiday.

Reema J .       May 2025

Maria was great with my 7.5 old baby. She made the baby very comfortable in a first go and was very responsive to baby's needs and cries (since it was the first time for LO to be with someone completely stranger).
I would highly recommend her for the job.

Maria has looked after my 1 year old son since April 2024 and her dedication, warmth, and professionalism have been exceptional.

Maria has a natural ability to engage with children, ensuring my child is happy, safe, and well-cared for at all times.

She is reliable, responsible, and has created a nurturing environment that has been vital to my child's growth and development. I have complete trust in her abilities and cannot recommend her highly enough.
