Hello! I am a mother of 2 great kids and I was a teacher for kids, ages 3-8. I love children and have many years of experience. I live in Gurnee. My best attributes are trustworthy, patience, honesty, punctual, flexible and easy to get along with. I believe in engaging children in creative play and educational activities rather than having them watch TV. I can provide excellent references and background check. Experience with different age groups - newborn through school age.

Mariya was very punctual. Our little one was being extra fussy that day and Mariya was very patient and did a great job. We would recommend Mariya to others! 

Excellent communication. Easy to work with. Great with babies ☺️

Mariya arrived early and my son had fun playing board games with her. 

Mariya is highly dependable and excellent with kids. Fits right in with the family!

Mariya has worked for our family as it has grown from 1 to 2 kids. She started working for us caring for our first son as soon as I went back to work and continued until he started preschool at about 2 1/2 years old. We then were lucky with timing and re-hired her when our second son was born and she cared for him the same duration of time. Occasionally we needed her to care for both of our children (ages 2 and 5) at the same time on days off of school, date night, etc. We were very happy with the care, teaching and guidance Mariya provided for our kids. She kept our kids safe, was reliable, easy to work with and easy to be around. She helped keep our kids on a great schedule, and helped them sleep, eat and nap perfectly. She always had great activities to keep them very active and tried to get outside every single day, weather permitting. I am happy to recommend Mariya as an excellent caregiver.

Mariya is a very reliable, trustworthy and affectionate babysitter/nanny. When we hired her, it was our first time having a full-time nanny and from the first day we felt so comfortable leaving our son in her care. Mariya is very hands-on, engaged and patient with our son. While he will be starting daycare, we will continue to use Mariya for babysitting. Highly recommend her! 

Mariya babysat for us on Sundays while my husband and I worked for almost a year.  (I had another baby and our schedules changed-which is why we do not to see her as much)  Mariya is dependable; she never cancels . My four year old loves her.  She takes over without hesitation.  I highly recommend her! 

We interviewed her for a long term nanny position both over the phone and in person. Although we ultimately went with another candidate who was a better fit for our family, she was truly an excellent applicant. Mariya arrived promptly, was professionally dressed, good manners, took off her shoes upon entering without even being asked (appreciate this with a baby) and ultimately would be a great caregiver for any family. 

Mariya was great with our son as a part time babysitter/nanny.  She was reliable and flexible, but also extremely sweet and caring with our son.  I would recommend Mariya as a child caregiver.

Mariya is an extremely trustworthy, reliable, punctual and flexible nanny. I entrusted her with my 2 little ones for a year and now they are in school. She is the first on my list when I need a nanny.

Mariya is everything a parent is looking for. She is reliable, responsible, punctual, considerate, energetic and affectionate. My son adores her. I highly recommend Mariya.

Mariya was dependable, attentive, punctual, and trustworthy. Our daughter was always well cared for with Mariya. I highly recommend her for your child care needs!

Mariya was very responsive and quick to communicate with. My kids took to her very quickly and had a good time.
