Booked by 26 families in Brighton, CO

Hi Parents! I’m Miriam and I have been working with children for 10 years professionally but 12 years overall. I have experience with children of all ages, twins and triplets, and have been in 6+ nanny shares. I’ve worked as a Career Nanny, Family Assistant and House Manager. I’m comfortable working in a team with Parents, Co-Nannies or other Staff. I’m vetted with various agencies in CO and TX. I’m currently working as a Newborn Care Specialist (NCS) specializing in multiples and also a trained Postpartum Doula training. I have various certifications including CPR/First Aid, Working with Multiples, Parenting Safe Children, and Respectful Childcare for Newborns, Infants and Toddlers. I take pride in having an extensive variety of knowledge relevant to my career which leads me to travel for child developmental trainings across the United States. I am happy to answer any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

Miriam was quick to make friends with my 11 month old who has pretty bad stranger danger. She was happy and bubbly and very talkative with Remi which is exactly what babies need. Very comfortable with babies. She was able to get a big bottle in my very distracted difficult eater and a good baby food feeding as well. They played outside and went for a walk. Before leaving she washed all the bottles and wiped down the counters and cleaned up the toys; a rarity with sitters these days.

Booked by 6 families in Brighton, CO

Hello, my name is McKinzey and I have about 4.5 years nannying experience, with several years of childcare/babysitting experience as well and I was a preschool teacher for a time. I was also a professional birth and postpartum doula for nearly 6 years where I cared for many infants and toddlers. I will be starting graduate school in the fall to earn my Masters of Library and Information Science with a concentration in youth services, to hopefully one day become a children's librarian. So I would bring my love of reading and life long learning to the role! I would love to share more and answer any of your questions.

McKinzey was fantastic with our 10-month old! We can’t wait to have her over again!
