Hi, my name is Mya. I’m a CDA certified bilingual nanny with over 5 years of experience working with infants, toddlers, and young children. My approach is very hands-on, engaging, and Montessori-inspired. I encourage independence, problem-solving, emotional regulation, and letting children learn through real experiences instead of constant entertainment or screen time. I naturally bring a big sister type of energy into childcare. I love joking around, staying active with the kids, and building genuine relationships with them, while still being consistent with boundaries, routines, and respect within the home. I believe children thrive when expectations are clear and they feel both supported and capable. Something families tend to appreciate about me is that I’m not intimidated by strong personalities or difficult behaviors. I stay calm, consistent, and communicative, and I genuinely care about helping children grow into confident, respectful, and emotionally secure people. I also deeply respect each family’s culture, religion, parenting style, and household values, and I always aim to support the environment parents are trying to create at home.

Hi! I’m Tara, and I’m an experienced nanny and babysitter available for occasional evening and weekend childcare, including date nights. I also offer pet care and household services. I’ve been caring for children since I was 14 and have experience with all ages, from infants and toddlers to school-aged children. I've worked as a full-time nanny for several families, including multiple summers during college and two years caring for children ages 5–10. I also spent one year as a full-time classroom teacher for grades 3–6 and two years as a substitute teacher. I'm comfortable with all aspects of caring for little ones, including bottle-feeding, diaper changes, meals, bath time, bedtime routines, and keeping children entertained with age-appropriate activities. Whether it's reading books, playing games, doing crafts, or spending time outdoors, I enjoy keeping kids engaged and making sure they feel comfortable and cared for. As a nanny and sitter, I've also helped with much more than child care. I've prepared meals, driven children to activities, helped with homework, done laundry, made beds, grocery shopped, unloaded the dishwasher, and kept things picked up throughout the day. I've even helped families organize pantries and children's play areas. I'm always happy to pitch in with the everyday tasks that make life a little easier. I'm also a huge animal lover and a certified veterinary assistant. I have experience caring for both dogs and cats through veterinary care, boarding, and pet sitting. I'm comfortable with pets of all sizes and have experience with dog walking, feeding, administering medications, and caring for animals with medical needs, including giving insulin injections to diabetic dogs. I'm dependable, organized, patient, and easygoing, and I genuinely enjoy caring for children and animals. I understand how important it is to feel comfortable with the person you're trusting in your home, and my goal is to make sure you can head out for the evening or go about your day knowing everyone is in good hands.
