Hello, my name is Mia, and I am a dependable, punctual, and highly communicative caregiver. I am currently an Administrative Clerk for the City of McAllen Parks and Recreation and a junior in college studying finance at The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley. I am known for maintaining a positive, solution-focused mindset and for building strong, respectful relationships with families. I am also comfortable assisting with light household tasks, including tidying living spaces and kitchens. I have over 7 years of babysitting experience and began caring for multiple children at once a little over 3 years ago. My experience includes babysitting up to three babies at a time, caring for an autistic baby and toddler, and supervising three children ages 5–8. I have also coached toddlers in structured activities through the City of McAllen, which strengthened my patience, organization, and childcare skills.
