Sloan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Sloan and I’m from NC but I currently live here in Miami for college! I absolutely adore kids and I have worked with them for many years! I’ve babysat kids in my neighborhood of all ages and in high school, I took classes where I had the opportunity to learn all about children and their development and needs through the Early Childhood Education class which also allowed me to work everyday with the kids in the preschool that was attached to my high school! I also took a Teacher Cadet class where I picked to work with Kindergarteners where I had to make lesson plans and teach the class! I spent every morning with them for 9 weeks and would spend any of my extra days working with them as well!

Booked by 3 families in Miami, FL

Hi! I’m Miriam, and caring for children has always been something I genuinely enjoy. I have over 5 years of experience working with children ranging from newborns to elementary school age, and I love getting to know each child’s unique personality while helping them learn, grow, and have fun. I’ve worked as a Pre-K teacher and coached elementary-aged children in sports and summer camps, so I’m comfortable caring for kids in a variety of settings. Whether it’s playing games, reading stories, helping with homework, preparing meals, or sticking to bedtime routines, I always strive to create a safe, loving, and engaging environment where children feel happy and supported. I’m CPR and First Aid certified and hold an Early Childhood Education certificate, giving families added peace of mind. Parents often describe me as patient, dependable, trustworthy, and easy to communicate with. I understand how important it is to find someone you can truly trust with your children, and I take that responsibility seriously. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and be someone you can count on whenever you need an extra helping hand. I look forward to creating a positive, fun, and caring experience for both you and your little ones!

Miriam was super friendly, communicative, and did a great job with my two youngest babes. She handled a 17 month old and a 5 month old seamlessly and even got BOTH OF THEM to nap. She even cleared the dishes from the sink, which was totally not necessary, but incredibly appreciated! We plan to hire again for an upcoming date night!

Ana $50 per hour for 1 child

I am a dedicated mother of three boys with years of hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, personalities, and needs. Being a mom has strengthened my patience, compassion, multitasking abilities, and instinct to create a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children can thrive. I understand the importance of balancing emotional support, routines, academics, and daily care with warmth and consistency. My educational background is in child development and education. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education from Florida International University, a Master’s degree in Educational Leadership from Nova Southeastern University, and an Educational Specialist degree in Reading K–12 from Nova Southeastern University. This strong academic foundation gives me a deep understanding of how children learn, grow, and develop both academically and emotionally. My combination of real-life parenting experience and advanced education allows me to provide thoughtful, attentive, and high-quality care.
