๐Ÿ’• Loving, Reliable & Trustworthy Childcare Hello! My name is Mileth, and I offer loving and reliable childcare services for babies and children from 1 month to 5 years old. I am a responsible, trustworthy, patient, and caring person, and I understand firsthand how important it is for parents to find someone they can completely trust with their children. I am also a mother, so I understand how much love, attention, patience, and care children need. As parents, we always want the best for our children, and I know how important it is to feel comfortable and confident with the person caring for them. I truly enjoy being around children and caring for them. I can help with their daily routines, meals, naps, playtime, and age-appropriate activities, always following the parentsโ€™ instructions and preferences. ๐ŸŽ Meal preparation: I can prepare meals and snacks for children according to the parentsโ€™ instructions, preferences, and dietary needs. ๐Ÿผ Baby care: feeding, diaper changes, naps, playtime, and keeping up with their daily routine. ๐ŸŽจ Activities: reading, creative activities, games, and age-appropriate play. ๐Ÿ’— My priority is to make sure every child feels safe, loved, comfortable, and well cared for while they are in my care. ๐Ÿ‡บ๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ช๐Ÿ‡ธ I speak both English and Spanish, which allows me to communicate easily with families in either language. If you are looking for someone reliable who will care for your child with love, patience, and dedication, I would be happy to meet you and learn more about your familyโ€™s needs.

โ€œVery professional.โ€

I have my own animals and bring animals into my classroom and they are wonderful additions to my classroom and my students. I have rescued over 45 bunnies all different breeds and found them loving homes. I have personally fostered kittens, guinea pigs and bottle fed different types of birds. I have experience with dogs, cats, rabbits, guinea pigs, birds (parakeets, love birds, green cheek conures and cockatiels). When I was in high school I worked in an exotic pet store. I will treat your babies as I treat mine with love and care. I treat my animals as if they were my children. If you would like to schedule a meeting please contact me.[removed].
