Maria has been an incredible support for our Autistic 10yo son, and we can't thank her enough. She picks him up from school, takes him to the park or library, or plays with him at home. She’s amazing at managing any difficult behaviours - firm but kind, flexible, and isn't phased by tough moments. She's responsive to his needs - whether that is to be very active and engaged or to have quiet time. Our whole family adores her, and we feel lucky to have someone so dedicated. She really goes above and beyond, and we’re truly grateful for her!

Maria was brilliant with our autistic son, interacting with him with genuine enthusiasm and warmth which just made him light up. Her planned activities were excellent and she was also highly adaptable depending on our son's needs at the time. She instinctively understood when to interact with him and when to give him space. Highly recommended.

We have used Maria on numerous occasions for our 5 year old son on since May 2024, for school pickup and childminding. During this time our son has learnt a little bit of Spanish, has been learning productive activities and had fun times under her safe and professional supervision. We look forward to continuing with your outstanding services Maria! Gracias!

María is truly exceptional at her job. Reliable, respectful, responsible, organized, transparent, trustworthy. I don’t have enough words. I know my children are 100% safe under her care. She always comes with a plan but is equally flexible to respond to my kids’ needs on any given day. She helped me look after my toddler when I was doing a theatre tour; she came along all over England with us and was incredible looking after my daughter whilst I was working late nights on stage.

I have used Maria on a number of occasions for my 2 and 5 year old, which isnt an easy task! Maria was always very punctual and came prepared for the task, often bringing her own activities, food and toys for the kids and keeping them entertained all day wherever they were. I trusted her to take good care of my children and they always came back tired but happy!
