"Silvia was one of the nannies who gave the most love and care to my baby, without a doubt I have no complaints about her since she showed me responsibility and respect. Caring for the baby as if it were hers. We had to stop work because my sister-in-law offered to help me, otherwise Silvia would continue working with me. I'm happy to share my experience with her!"
