Marika is a kind, capable and fun lady who understand the find line between being an employee and being part of the family. She cared for my kids on a full time basis when they were a few weeks old and 2 years old. I know her whole family who are just lovely! Fast forward 10 years…and we are still in touch. She babysits for my kids regularly - she often brings art and craft supplies which my kids love! They ask me to go out as much as possible so Marika can come over. She’s completely trustworthy, respectful of my home, great at both the fun element and setting clear boundaries with my kids, I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to any family looking for a top notch reliable and honest nanny / babysitter.
