I have interviewed Ana Marie on several occasions, and she has always presented as consistent, positive, and professional. She is genuinely happy in her work and demonstrates a strong willingness to assist families wherever needed.

I am always happy to speak with her and see her, as she is consistently warm and approachable. On one occasion I had my granddaughter with me during a video call  she is usually very shy and struggles with phone interactions  yet Ana Marie managed to engage her with ease. This really stood out to me, as my granddaughter can be challenging to connect with, particularly over the phone.

Ana Marie’s warmth, reliability, and ability to connect with children of different personalities make her an excellent fit for families seeking both childcare expertise and genuine emotional connection.
