"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Mikaela Columbia
$12 per hour for 1 child
$12 per hour for 1 child
Hello!! My name is Mikaela and my husband and I recently moved to the Columbia area from Charleston. I graduated from the Charleston School of Law in May and sat for the South Carolina Bar Exam this summer; I am now awaiting results! Previously, I worked as both a Montessori preschool teacher and a nanny, and when we moved to Columbia I decided I wanted to work with children again! Although I am currently employed with a law firm, I do have early morning, evening, and weekend availability. I absolutely adore working with children of all ages, especially special needs kiddos, and can easily tailor the care I provide to fit appropriate age levels. When I have kids in my care, we tend to create very imaginative (and elaborate!) games, access our inner Picasso, or go for "treasure hunts" around the neighborhood. :) I love to emphasize collaboration and teamwork between children, so the more the merrier! I am happy to answer any questions you may have, so feel free to reach out. I look forward to meeting you and your family!!
