Booked by 1 family in Phoenix, MD

I am a nurse practitioner (current practice owner) who never had children of my own and have always wanted them. I have medical experience beginning at Children’s Hospital in DC on their behavioural psychiatry unit, my nursing internship was a Cambridge hospital on the pediatric behaviour program. After becoming an NP in 2005, I spent several summers as a camp nurse at the Barrie School in Silver Spring, MD. I have also worked with their 4 year olds for aftercare and substituted in the baby room when needed. My other experience includes being the lead NP at JHH on their Meyer 6 unit for 4 years and some time in the Anesthesia department. Working with children has been my most fulfilling work. My extensive care of children in various situations should make any parent feel confident in choosing me as a caregiver.

“Very professional, punctual, thoughtful, great communication. Will hire again!”

Mia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi everyone! Mya name is Mia and I am 22 years old. I am in nursing school and I am a certified nursing assistant. I am offering child care and dog sitting/ walking. I have always babysat growing up. The ages always varied from 6 months old to 12 years of age. I love children and babies and I am CPR certified as well. I also dog sit and I love to walk so me and your fur babies can get lots of exercise (if that’s something the dog would like). I have no issues with bigger dogs or any breeds. I have 3 dogs at home that I help take care of, so I am not a stranger to multiple pets either. I am very responsible and will make sure things go as smoothly as possible:)
