Miriam 5 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Ann Arbor, 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!”

"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!"
