Miriam 5 reviews
$30 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Novi, MI

Hi My name is Miriam but everyone calls me Mia. I work as a Pediatric Dental Assistant so experience with kids is a given. I work well with all ages 0 months to teens. I speak fluent English and Spanish and my personality is very bubbly. I love working with kids and I am great with kids who require a lot of TLC when scared or nervous. I have experience with special needs patients and I adapt very well in these circumstances. I love teaching kids new things and helping them understand everyday subjects or matters they do not comprehend. My level of patience is out of this world and I love to make little ones laugh. I am also a live in nanny every other week and have been for the past 7years.

“Mia is awesome! She has a bubbly personality and was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. I would hire her again anytime. Absolutely recommend!”

Hi, I’m Shylah! I’m a part-time student at Wayne community college with a passion for working with children. Over the past 7 years, I’ve babysat my nephews regularly since they were 10 months old. I’ve recently gained 1 year of professional experience in childcare with children ranging 4 months old to 3 years old. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn and play.

“Shylah is very professional, loved playing with my son, cared for my two dogs, and cleaned up right before I got home. Can’t wait for her to come again!!”
