Hi parents here is a little bit about me! My name is Brooke Villwock, and I am 20 years old. I graduated from Anchor Bay High School. I have seven years of experience working with kids and have been nannying for four years. I have cared for children ranging from one month old to 12 years old.

I am happy to provide transportation to and from activities, and Iām comfortable with meal preparation, cleaning, and pet care. I am CPR and First Aid certified.

Booked by 6 families in Smiths Creek, MI
Hi My name is Miriam but everyone calls me Mia. I work as a Pediatric Dental Assistant so experience with kids is a given. I work well with all ages 0 months to teens. I speak fluent English and Spanish and my personality is very bubbly. I love working with kids and I am great with kids who require a lot of TLC when scared or nervous. I have experience with special needs patients and I adapt very well in these circumstances. I love teaching kids new things and helping them understand everyday subjects or matters they do not comprehend. My level of patience is out of this world and I love to make little ones laugh. I am also a live in nanny every other week and have been for the past 7years.
āMia is awesome! She has a bubbly personality and was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. I would hire her again anytime. Absolutely recommend!ā
