I do housekeeping, prepare meals, do laundry & anything related to taking care of your children. I enjoy being active & imaginative with kids. I love every thing from arts&crafts to dress up to museum trips & playing make believe. I engage with them by taking them to the park, museum, zoo, botanical garden, creating an art project, or reading a colorful book. I understand that each child is different & it is all about finding what works on an individual basis. I love being a part of helping children learn & grow. Interacting with kids in all activities is what I do best. Whether it's work time or play time, I am there & ready to be a part of it. I am fun-loving, reliable, enthusiastic, & compassionate. Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with family & friends, cooking, and reading. I am available to start immediately.

Hi! I’m Moriah, I am a first-year graduate student at New York Medical College studying Speech Pathology. I have completed one year of graduate school in Early Childhood Education with a minor in American Sign Language. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, including 4 years as a nanny and 2 years in a daycare setting with infants through Pre-K. Recently, I’ve also interned at The Fisher-Price Endowed Early Childhood Research Center in Buffalo and have cared for school-age children in before- and after-school programs. I am also partnered with SmartSitter, a childcare agency that connects families with qualified and trusted caregivers in which I provide reliable childcare services to families with children of various ages and needs. I’m dependable, nurturing, and passionate about supporting children at every stage of development, and I look forward to meeting your family! About me: I am the oldest of 2 sisters! I am a godmother to a 8 month old. I LOVE to travel, swim,read and roller skate! My favorite movie is Matilda, and my children favorite books are Wonder by R.J. Palacio and The Sour Grape by Jory John :)

“Moriah is so lovely and my kids adored her. My youngest usually cries when I leave and this time he actually waved goodbye and was so happy. She is also very proactive and had the whole kitchen cleaned up from dinner when I returned. We would definitely work with Moriah again! ”
