Do you support partners too?

"Her patience, expertise, and love that she has shown not only our youngest child, but all three of our children, is unmatched."
Maricar has worked for our family this past year with our youngest child from the time that she was just weeks old.
Her patience, expertise, and love that she has shown not only our youngest child, but all three of our children, is unmatched.
While providing care for our youngest daughter, Maricar developed a schedule to help our family adjust to welcoming in a new baby.
She paid very close attention to the wants and needs of our family while also offering tips and suggestions to help ease the transition into having three under three.
Maricar was always willing to go above and beyond with all our children through helping develop good sleeping habits, coming up with arts and crafts for them, and introducing them to new songs.
With our newborn, she assisted in developing good sleeping habits, was always quick to adjust with the growing baby, and helped us transition her to solids.
Additionally, Maricar taught our little ones infant sign language to help them communicate with us before they were able to use their words.
Our family is very fortunate to have Maricar provide assistance and care for our family.
We would recommend her to any family!
