Hi! We’re Mariah and Austin, a married couple who are excited to spend more time caring for kids together and helping families in our community.
We’re both warm, patient, responsible, and easygoing, and we really enjoy creating an environment where kids can feel comfortable being themselves. Mariah is a professional graphic designer and naturally brings a lot of creativity to the table—whether that means arts and crafts, drawing, imaginative play, or coming up with a fun activity on the fly. She’s nurturing, attentive, and loves encouraging kids’ creativity and interests.
Austin is dependable, calm, playful, and incredibly patient. He’s great at making people feel comfortable and brings a fun, steady energy that balances Mariah’s creative side really well. Together, we make a great team: we’re attentive and responsible while still being silly, engaging, and willing to get down on the floor and actually play!
We understand that trusting someone with your children is a big deal, so communication, safety, and respecting each family’s routines and boundaries are extremely important to us. We’re happy to help with playtime, meals and snacks, homework, bedtime routines, activities, and keeping things tidy along the way.
We’re also animal lovers and very comfortable in homes with pets—we have two rescue dogs of our own!
Most of all, we hope to be the kind of caregivers kids are genuinely excited to see and parents can feel completely comfortable having in their home. We’re looking forward to meeting some wonderful families!
