Babysitter Available in Marlborough, MA: Maria D.

"Maria has been an au pair in our family for 1 year, and during that time, she has consistently demonstrated exceptional skills and qualities that make her a perfect candidate. Maria possesses a natural ability to connect with children. She has provided our twin nine year old boys with loving and stimulating care. She is patient, creative, and always comes up with engaging activities that nurture their development. Her ability to establish clear boundaries and enforce rules effectively has fostered a positive and respectful environment for our children to thrive. Maria is a clear and articulate communicator. She also possesses excellent interpersonal skills, fostering positive relationships with us and the children. Maria is highly adaptable and easily adjusts to new situations. She has embraced our family culture and readily learned our customs. Her willingness to learn and openness to new experiences make her a valuable asset in any environment."

"We are the Shum family and Maria was our au pair from June 2021-June 2022. She took care of our 5 month old son at the time she arrived till he was 17 months when she left. She did a wonderful job taking care of him as well as becoming a valued member of our household. Some of the things Maria helped our son with was in meeting developmental milestones such as sitting, crawling, standing, and even running. She also helped him master sign language while teaching him how to speak new words. She also did a wonderful job in giving him a cultural experience that I feel will impact him for many years to come. She took care of him very gently and very lovingly and always had great ideas for activities as well. She helped our son exceed all his milestones and Maria helped lay very important ground work for the type of child that he is now. Our family has some wonderful memories of our son with Maria and we will always cherish the year that she was with us."
