Mikaela Columbia
$12 per hour for 1 child

Hello!! My name is Mikaela and my husband and I recently moved to the Columbia area from Charleston. I graduated from the Charleston School of Law in May and sat for the South Carolina Bar Exam this summer; I am now awaiting results! Previously, I worked as both a Montessori preschool teacher and a nanny, and when we moved to Columbia I decided I wanted to work with children again! Although I am currently employed with a law firm, I do have early morning, evening, and weekend availability. I absolutely adore working with children of all ages, especially special needs kiddos, and can easily tailor the care I provide to fit appropriate age levels. When I have kids in my care, we tend to create very imaginative (and elaborate!) games, access our inner Picasso, or go for "treasure hunts" around the neighborhood. :) I love to emphasize collaboration and teamwork between children, so the more the merrier! I am happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your family!!

"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!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
