Hi there! I’m Micah. I recently moved to the area after getting married, and while I’m a writer by trade, caring for kids has always been something I truly love. Over the past four years, I’ve gained experience as both a babysitter and nanny, working with children of all ages—from energetic school-aged kids to some of the world’s sweetest infants and toddlers. I’m happy to help with cooking (and I’m a pretty great baker!), homework support, and light household tasks to keep things running smoothly. With a background in theatre and the arts, I bring lots of creative energy and love engaging kids in imaginative, age-appropriate play. I’m also pet-friendly (I grew up with two dogs), have my own car, and hold a Maryland driver’s license. My childcare experience includes overnight stays with infants, serving in my church’s pastoral childcare ministry, and regularly caring for groups of up to four children at once. Families often describe me as encouraging and joyful—I hope that during the time I spend with your little ones, I can plant a small seed of fun, comfort, and creativity that brightens their day.

Hello! I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with over 20 years of experience babysitting, house-sitting, and pet-sitting for families in communities where I have lived. I genuinely love this work — it's been a constant in my life for two decades because I care about doing it well. I hold a Master's in Maternal and Child Public Health, so I bring real knowledge of child development, health and safety along with my hands-on experience. I also have worked as a teacher, mentor, tutor, and coach — helping kids grow, learn, and build confidence is one of my favorite parts of this work. That same attentiveness and care carries over beautifully to elder companion care — I enjoy providing patient, attentive companionship and support. I am recently CPR certified for both children and adults through the American Red Cross, so you can feel at ease knowing I'm prepared for the unexpected. Whether it's watching and mentoring your kids, keeping your home safe while you're away, caring for your pets, or even your plants (thanks to some recent greenhouse experience!), I treat every responsibility like it's my own. I'd love to help your family feel supported and cared for.

Hi! I just graduated nursing school from the University of South Caroline in December of 2022. I am living at home for a few months before I move down to Charleston, SC this spring to start a job on a cardiac floor at MUSC. I have worked with children of all ages and capabilities since I was in middle school. I have always loved caring for children, so I hope to one day work in a NICU or pediatric unit! I am fully vaccinated & boosted, and am happy to show proof. I have my own car and would be happy to drive your children to any activities!
