Meet Maria

At Maria’s house this weekend for her daughter Angelique’s Birthday party.

Earlier this year we hired a Nanny (Rachel), and things were working out great. It allowed Brenda to get a break hear and there, as well as help her recover from the surgery. It was also a great way to ease back into doing some part time work later in the year. 

Several weeks ago though, due to personal reasons, Rachel had to leave us with no notice and we were left with no backup plan. Brenda was already working 3 days a week with a client and trying to meet his deadline, but we were back to square one with finding a Nanny. We went back to the same agency we used before (NannySitters) and they jumped through hoops to not only find us somebody fast, but to find us somebody that was a good match for our family and what our needs were (thanks Nicole!). 

Well, after a few weeks of interviewing and trying out new people, we were introduced to Maria. Maria walked in and the boys went to her immediately. During her interview she fed and changed them, and got to know us as we got to know her. After our 90 minute meeting we hired her on the spot. Brenda and I were both nervous that if we let her go to any of the other interviews she had scheduled that somebody else would get her. 

Maria has been with us now for close to a month, and Brenda and I can say with 100% certainty that she is one of a kind, and a blessing to our family. She’s not only great with the boys, but she’s great at taking care of us as well. She is always making sure the laundry for the boys is done, she keeps the house clean, and everyday when we get home she has cooked us a meal worth of a fine restaurant. We don’t even tell her what to make, she just surprises us with something different each day and we haven’t been disappointed yet.

I could go on and on about her, but simply put it feels like she was placed in our life at the right time, and we feel so very blessed to have her as part of our family. Although she was brought in for the boys, Brenda and I feel like she takes care of us as well. 

Thank you Maria!
