Maria works with ABC's Mercer Island Nanny Agency to be a role-model to both children and Nannies!

“I am fun to be with because I love working with children! I enjoy what I do! If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to join the Mercer Island Nanny Agency over any other career, it would have to be because other jobs have not yet given me the some amount of professional and personal fulfillment that being a nanny provides. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over 25 years and can honestly say I enjoy what I do! I feel the children are and integral part of the ability to perform my job well as a Nanny. Children are the best part of the job! If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am loving, caring, responsible, honest, and punctual! Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family that I work for would include play dates, games, arts and crafts, movie night, walks, and picnics at the park. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be responsible, caring, honest, fair and respectful.”

“Maria was our nanny/house manager for four years. She cared for both our children since the day that each was born. Her employment ended because we no longer needed service from the Mercer Island Nanny Agency for our children. Maria has been an excellent nanny, and we never had to worry about our children’s wellbeing! She was completely trustworthy and loved and cared for our children like they were her own, which is why my children both enjoyed her company immensely and miss her very much. Maria was very reliable, as well as extremely punctual when reporting to work each day. She performed many tasks and was willing to do whatever we asked of her. She is a caring person who put the children’s wellbeing above all else! Cleanliness was extremely important to her, and it showed in everything she did (laundry, bathing, hygiene, dishes, etc.). Maria was neat and had good organizational and planning skills. She struck a nice balance between being firm and having fun with our children. She is passionate about her profession, and always put our children’s happiness, comfort, and wellness first. She arranged play dates, baked cookies/cakes, did crafts, and went for long walks with our children. Maria is very experienced at managing a household and does not need a lot of direction or daily oversight. In closing, Maria became a trusted member of our family, and a loving caretaker of our children!”

“Maria was employed from the Mercer Island Nanny Agency as a live in nanny in my home, caring for my infant daughter. Maria’s first assignment was to get us ready for our baby’s arrival by purchasing the necessary baby items (diapers, diaper pail, lotions, monitors, bottles, bibs, etc.). Maria certainly took good care of our daughter! She bathed, fed, and played with her, and got her ready for bed daily. Maria was good at establishing a schedule for our daughter’s eating, napping, etc. she took her responsibility for her care and wellbeing seriously, and I didn’t have to worry that my baby was not being well cared for while I was at work. In addition to her responsibilities of caring for my daughter, Maria was responsible for managing my house, which included cooking for me, weekly food shopping, my laundry, and doing the dishes after dinner. Each day, she was prompt, neatly attired, and ready for work. I do not in any way question her skills in caring for children. She has endless patience when it comes to interacting with children!”

“Maria was a full time, live out nanny for my two children for two years. Both of my children enjoyed spending time with her very much! Maria is careful and loving with the children. We had no accidents or injuries while she worked with us. Maria is trustworthy, and we never had any worries about whether our children were home or were being carefully looked after while we were away. She was also on time for work every morning, and kept a schedule for food and naps. Maria is also very clean, and she always kept herself and the children spotless! She always wore appropriate clothing and was pleasant and helpful to others working at our home. She always did things the best to her abilities! I am very happy we chose to go through the Mercer Island Nanny Agency for care.”

“Maria is an excellent communicator in regard to my children! She used outstanding judgment, and often acted independently. She used a well thought out, careful strategy, whether it be carpooling with other mothers, setting up play dates, or just running the day to day family of three small children. All of my children had active schedules, and Maria was required to be an excellent driver and schedule enforcer. Maria has a cheerful, upbeat disposition, and was greatly loved by my children! They want to please her, so they obey her in a positive way, thereby doing their homework in a timely manner, practicing instruments, and picking up around the house. She was always willing to take on extra responsibilities and in return earned our absolute trust and appreciation at all times. Some of the many household tasks that Maria did included laundry, much of the cooking on a daily basis, and endless dropping off and picking up of our children (on time). In many months that I have known her from the Mercer Island Nanny Agency, she has never been late. She took pride in her punctuality and attendance, and we depended on it!”

“Maria’s work in the house was exemplary! She made the extra effort to ensure that the house was clean, well maintained, and orderly. She did the shopping, handled the errands, and was comfortable making appointments with contractors and service personnel that seem to be an inevitable part of owning a home. As a Mercer Island Nanny Agency childcare provider, Maria was terrific! She formed a very close bond with children of all ages, we had complete trust in her judgment, and we counted on her to make sure that our daughter was well fed and transported safely where she needed to be. She exhibits the highest standards of honesty, trustworthiness, and reliability. She has a bright and sunny disposition, which makes her nice to have in the home. ”

“Maria worked for me and my family full time as a Mercer Island Nanny Agency caretaker. Thereafter, she worked for me periodically as a house and pet sitter, or when I had special projects, such as clearing rooms for construction, etc. My children adore Maria! She was a wonderful friend and playmate for them, but also as highly responsible as anyone could ever hope to have as a childcare assistant! She helped me with any project that I needed done around our house, and always had good cheer! She really can do anything you may need; she can cook, shop, clean, run errands, organize closets, and do laundry! She will always be reliable, responsible, and trustworthy. Your children will find her delightful and warm!”

“Maria worked for our family. Our sudden transfer to Hong Kong for two years led to the termination of her employment. When Maria started with us, our two sons were four and seven years old. Maria was responsible for the children when they were not in school, and for taking care of the house Monday through Friday. During her period of employment through the Mercer Island Nanny Agency, Maria worked quietly, efficiently, and provided the children with a mature, capable presence around the house. The children developed a friendly relationship with Maria that continues to this day!”

“Maria served as my Mercer Island Nanny Agency caregiver for three consecutive years, and always proved herself to be responsible and very caring. She always made sure that my brothers and I was always taken care of, and had everything we needed or wanted. She would talk to us about anything, and helped us with our homework. Maria is a very caring person that can accomplish anything! She has a very high tolerance for little children, and is very patient. Maria can also cook, and she does a great job! I liked having Maria as a childcare provider for all of those reasons! It is wonderful to still be in touch with her, as she is one of the nicest people I have ever met. ”

“Maria cared for my children and managed my household for approximately one year. During the time she was with us, Maria flawlessly handled a very busy schedule including: driving to two separate schools, coordinating car pools, getting the children to/from sports/extracurricular activities, caring for the family dog and interacting with service people, as needed. Maria also made and attended health- related appointments for the children. In addition, Maria cooked wonderful, healthy meals and kept my house spotless. She was trusted with a weekly budget and credit card. In every interaction with me or others, I've observed Maria to be professional, discrete and detail-oriented Mercer Island Nanny Agency."
