Mariam 1 review
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Mariam, and I work in a Pediatric Emergency Room, where providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care to children is my top priority. Through my experience in pediatrics, I’ve worked with children of all ages and learned how to stay calm, patient, and observant in all situations, giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, and playtime. I also have a passion for cooking and am happy to help with meal prep or snacks as needed. Creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment is always my goal. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care services. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, primarily small breeds, and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I treat every child and pet with care, patience, and respect.

she’s so amazing & wonderful with my kids! has a very bubbly personality and always willing to help out when needed!

Mickelia $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am Mickelia, a Master’s student pursuing a career in medicine, and I have a genuine passion for caring for and working with children. I have hands-on childcare experience in both clinical and personal settings. I previously worked in a children’s hospital, where I provided direct care and support to children with a variety of needs. I also worked as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), where I supported children with autism and gained valuable experience understanding their individual needs, routines, behaviors, and communication styles. In addition to my professional experience, I have been babysitting my younger cousin since he was 6 months old and continued caring for him through age 7. This experience taught me the importance of patience, responsibility, attentiveness, and creating a safe and enjoyable environment for children. I am dependable, caring, patient, and attentive, and I understand that every child is unique. I would love the opportunity to provide your child with a safe, nurturing, and fun environment while giving parents peace of mind that their little one is in capable hands.
