Be Careful with My Heart is the longest-running morning drama series and one of ABS-CBN's most successful programs due to its immense popularity and critical acclaim, spawning albums, concerts and worldwide tours.

Maya dela Rosa (Jodi Sta. Maria), her older sister Cristina and Cristina's son Cho are introduced as tour guides in their hometown of San Nicolas, with their mother running a souvenir shop. They often make less than what their living expenses and household repairs require. Cristina hopes to work at sea, while Maya dreams of becoming a flight stewardess. One rainy night after trying to fix the roof, Cristina breaks her leg and cannot complete her schooling to become a seafarer. With a large medical bill, Maya decides to work overseas for two years to help her family. Upon arrival in Manila, she discovers that the woman who offered her a job abroad swindles her. Maya is stuck in Manila with no money or place to go. Relentless, she allows no one to stop her, not even the handsome, wealthy widower Richard Lim (Richard Yap), who reminds her of her shortcomings.
Ironically, Richard is her last hope because of his influence in the airline industry. He offers Maya a temporary job as his youngest daughter's (who has selective mutism) nanny in exchange for his help. Maya agrees to become his maid and nanny. Upon entering the Lim home, she gets involved in the private lives of Richard and his three problematic children: Luke (Jerome Ponce), Nikki (Janella Salvador) and Abby (Mutya Orquia).
Maya realizes that since Richard's wife died, the family's joy died with her, hence their problems. Maya is tasked bringing Richard closer to his children and eventually rebuilding the family. However, in repairing their broken hearts, Maya encounters bigger challenges that test her determination and, more importantly, her heart. While doing her job, she falls in love with the children and their father.
