I am an experienced nanny to infants, as well as a mother to three boys (two are now young adults, and the youngest is in high school). Our family has two rambunctious Labrador Retrievers and a kitty, so I am accustomed to a lively, chaotic environment full of kid and pet energy. I am nurturing, active, vigilant, and CPR-certified. Because I am an established private school educator in the local area, I have been vetted through background checks beyond the norm. I genuinely enjoy children and possess immense patience. Because of my life experience and maturity, I am highly attentive and communicative and will give the individuals in my care my complete attention. Lastly, I am kind and sensitive to the emotional needs of others. I miss my crazy-busy mothering days and would like to support parents and caregivers in a way that provides them peace of mind and reassurance.
28 years old, stay at home mom to a 1.5 year old girl I would need to take her with me or she would be present while sitting. I am a certified arborist with a Bachelors in Biology. Certified in CPR, first aid, and safe driving. I grew up in a large family caring for infants and children for family members while in high school. Can cook, help with homework, art activities, outside play at the park or pool in our community. Took care of elderly grandmother with dementia and mentally handicapped aunt in high school by cooking, reminding to take medicine, taking them to doctor appointments, getting them groceries, and cleaning up around the house for them. Animal lover had many pets growing up: dogs, cats, iguanas, hamsters, frogs, birds. Live in a dog friendly community and near a dog park. Willing to walk, feed, play, keep company.
Greetings!! I'm thrilled at the opportunity to introduce myself to you. My name is Mikaela. I am a loving, kind, and genuine person who values responsibility, respect, and trust. My family-oriented nature and sociable personality make it easy for me to connect with others, and I believe in living life to the fullest by exploring new places, cooking, meeting new people, and enjoying each moment. As a wife and mother of a 13 year-old son, I understand the joys and challenges of parenting. I hold a Bachelor's Degree in Multi-Media Studies/New Media from Florida Atlantic University and an MBA in Healthcare Management from Western Governors University. I am a Practice Manager at Gastro Health-Pediatrics located in Boca Raton; where I bring my extensive business background and experience in Maternal Fetal Medicine, OB/GYN, and Pediatrics to support and advocate for others. You might be wondering, "What brought her to UrbanSitter?" Great question! I believe that children are a true blessing, and I am eager to meet and support other families in any way I can. I’ve always believed it takes a village to raise a child, and I know firsthand what that entails. I take joy in getting to know each child's unique personality, likes, and dislikes, and I always ask parents for this information to create a fun and educational plan for our time together. I focus on providing personalized, one-on-one attention to each child and enjoy engaging in a variety of activities, from arts and crafts to reading, singing, dancing, yoga, and sports. I’m also more than happy to assist with cooking and other household tasks if needed, and I make sure to clean up after every activity. I look forward to connecting with you and learning more about your family's needs. Please feel free to reach out to me at any time. P.S. ***All Personalized Activities conducted includes toys, arts and crafts supplies, and other special items that your child loves are provided by me*** Sincerely, Mikaela C.

Due to my experiences I’ve become very fast paced but also have grown a lot of patience. I’m good at compromising to make sure everyone is comfortable and can multitask so that things will always be completed when asked for. I’m great with all ages of kids. I can cook, clean, help with homework and even can even help with transportation when needed and don’t mind stepping out of my way for anything. I’m also great with pets.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
