"Maria worked for us for over 18 years. In those 18 years Maria rarely if ever missed a day of work. She was very conscientious in following all of my instructions. We have 4 children ranging in age from 24-19. Our youngest 3 children are boys and are all within a year of each other. Maria was wonderful with all of our kids and adapted easily to their different personalities. Two of our boys were diagnosed with ADHD when they began school. Maria was extraordinarily patient yet firm with them which is exactly what they needed! All 4 of our children consider Maria a part of our family. My husband and I traveled several times a year and we left Maria in charge of our kids with no qualms. Maria is responsible, honest, hardworking and truly enjoys taking care of children. She frequently planned physical activities for our kids when they were little. In short, you could not ask for a better person to care for your children than Maria Dolores Mendiola!"

Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Walks, playing soccer, swimming and inside, reading table games like chess, connect 4, monopoly.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I love the kidos and I like to share and teach them popular songs and games.
Most of the time I was ready for whatever they need me, probably that's why the Flavin boys said I was the second mom.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Houston, TX: Nicole B.
Hello! My name is Nicole Baker, I have 10 years of experience working in early child care centers. I’ve worked in Montessori schools to Christian based schools. I have two children of my own. A child who will be entering PRE K this year coming up, and a 3rd grader. I love working with children, but the child care centers I’ve witnessed are not the best for any child. I am excited to start this new journey and hopefully find a family who I can share my love and compassion for helping children grow and flourish with encouragement and positive reinforcement.

Hi my name is April,
I have worked with kids pretty much all my life.
I love to do arts and crafts and love making in house movie theaters on rainy days.
Making and trying new things is something I am always up for.
I love to cook with kids for I believe it helps with their sensory and independence skills.
I also have a son and being a mom has given me much more wisdom and understanding on how to properly care for kids.
Having intellectual conversations and building bonds is important to me, I always want both the child and parents to feel comfortable in my presence.
