Booked by 7 families in Lyons, IL

My name is Miranda M., and I have been a caregiver for over 13 years. Caring for others is something that I truly enjoy doing. I not only make every effort to please the client who is seeking a quality professional, I listen to the needs and likes of the other clients, the children. I am a CPR, AED, lifeguard certified under the American Red Cross. I have cared for children from 6 mos to 14 yrs old. I can help families with daily care, weekend or date night relief, overnight care and after school activities. I am happy to prepare set meals, pack lunches for school, tidy up after the kids and oversee nightly bedtime routine. I have extensive experience with all age groups as a sitter and as a lifeguard. Understanding the household rules and expectations is something that creates an environment where everyone feels safe and understood. Activities include enjoying the outdoors as long as the weather permits. Getting fresh air and sunshine does the soul good. I love the museum campus and the Shedd aquarium is one of my favorites. I have a passion for soccer, but am open to all sporting activities and learning new things. I Majored in Classical Voice Performance, so singing is literally my forte! I can offer singing lessons, theater and acting coaching, basic dance knowledge and always willing to learn new moves. I am happy to follow a tutor curriculum or offer school work support. I am a great baker and I make the perfect fluffy scrambled eggs (cooking is not limited here). Along with all my training through the American Red Cross, I have also completed two Care Giver Instruction Courses. My senior care experience has been limited to more along the lines of a Senior Companion. I have meal prepped, errand running, dog walking, and serve as an excellent Gold Fish player and a book reader. I believe everyone truly deserves a companion no matter how old they are. I try to offer companionship with a tender heart. Working for the elderly, takes compassion, patience, and empathy. I have had experience with both cats, and dogs. With proper instruction I am happy to feed your goldfish. I will walk, feed, play, cuddle and wash your fur baby ( I am not certified to cut hair or clip nails). I will walk you pet to the groomer or vet when required. Size of cat and or dog does not matter. Shedding happens. No worries I own a lint roller and lots of tide pods.

“Miranda is amazing. I say this because she always amazes me with her patience, kindness and compassion that she displays every day. It takes more to be an excellent sitter than being cpr certified. Which she is. It takes the gift of understanding people and helping them be the best versions of themselves. I have seen her do this time and time again with children of all ages and older adults. You will not be disappointed working with Miranda. Plus she has the attitude of leaving a place better than when she arrived, which always makes clients happy.”

Aloha! 😊 I’m Noemi. Thank you so much for taking the time to visit my profile! I’m 37 years young and have over 12 years of experience caring for children of all ages. Working with children has truly been one of the greatest joys of my life, and I feel incredibly blessed to have built lasting relationships with so many wonderful families over the years. My experience includes caring for infants, teaching toddlers their ABCs and 123s, and helping school-aged children with homework and after-school activities. Every child is unique, and I love creating a nurturing environment where they feel safe, loved, encouraged, and free to be themselves. As a nanny, my goal is to become a trusted extension of your family. I believe children learn best through play, exploration, and meaningful interactions. I enjoy planning fun and engaging activities like trips to the park, library visits, arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, story time, playdates, and other age-appropriate activities that encourage learning, creativity, and confidence. Parents describe me as caring, dependable, patient, organized, and trustworthy. I understand how important it is to leave your children with someone you can truly trust, and I take that responsibility to heart. Your child’s safety, happiness, and well-being will always be my top priorities. I am fortunate to have wonderful references from families I’ve had the privilege of working with, and they would be happy to share their experiences with you. If you think I may be a good fit for your family, I’d love the opportunity to connect, answer any questions, and learn more about your family’s needs. Thank you again for considering me. I look forward to meeting you and hopefully becoming a positive part of your family’s journey! 💛

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
