Marianna is a warm, loving and generous spirit who has been a wonderful nanny to our daughter Alma - a 21 month old little girl.

Within 1 week of joining our family, our daughter would run to the door to greet Marianna with a huge smile and start hopping through the house and bring her to the living area to start the day and start playing! As I would get ready for work I would hear them "chatting away" in the other room, singing, reading and playing with stuffed animals and so forth. One morning I walked in the room and they were both on the carpet doing "baby yoga".

Right from the beginning I trusted Marianna to structure the day and take Alma to swimming lessons and play groups, etc. Although Marianna didn't "study" childcare, she is highly educated and from a development point of view Alma learned a huge amount with her, including to name/recognize various colors, do puzzles, and to sing along to a number of Italian songs.

Marianna is also very punctual and reliable.

In sum, I wholeheartedly recommend her and any family would be lucky to have her!
