Hi! My name is Mariam, and I work in a Pediatric Emergency Room, where providing safe, compassionate, and attentive care to children is my top priority. Through my experience in pediatrics, I’ve worked with children of all ages and learned how to stay calm, patient, and observant in all situations, giving parents peace of mind that their child is in good hands. I enjoy engaging children in fun, creative, and age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, games, reading, and playtime. I also have a passion for cooking and am happy to help with meal prep or snacks as needed. Creating a safe, nurturing, and positive environment is always my goal. In addition to childcare, I offer pet care services. I’ve cared for friends’ dogs, primarily small breeds, and am comfortable with feeding, walking, playing, and giving them lots of attention. I treat every child and pet with care, patience, and respect.

she’s so amazing & wonderful with my kids! has a very bubbly personality and always willing to help out when needed!

love being a nanny because caring for children comes naturally to me. I enjoy creating a warm, safe, and loving environment where babies and kids feel secure. As a mother to a 4-month-old, I understand the importance of patience, gentleness, and consistency. It gives me joy to support families and to provide the same quality of care I give my own child. I have hands-on experience caring for infants through raising my own baby, including feeding, diaper changes, soothing, sleep routines, tummy time, and monitoring developmental milestones. I have CPR or First Aid training,
