Hello, my name is Mahliyah, and I am 20 years old. I graduated from Pittsburg High School in 2024, and was a dedicated student-athlete. Throughout my life, I have gained extensive experience working with children of various ages, beginning at a young age. My mother worked in several preschool settings, including Bright Horizons and Redwood Forest Preschool, where I regularly volunteered and assisted teachers and staff in supporting young children. In addition to my volunteer experience, I have played an active role in helping care for my younger siblings and cousins and have provided babysitting services for multiple families over the years. These experiences have strengthened my ability to build meaningful relationships with children by adapting to their unique personalities, needs, and energy levels. Whether providing a calm, supportive environment or engaging in fun, active play, I strive to create a positive and nurturing experience for every child. I am patient, compassionate, dependable, and committed to supporting each child’s individual growth and well-being. I am currently employed as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT), a role I have held for a little over a year. Working in applied behavior analysis has strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and behavior management skills while reinforcing my passion for helping children reach their full potential. I implement individualized behavior intervention plans, teach and reinforce new skills, and support clients in achieving meaningful developmental goals. One of the most rewarding aspects of my work is witnessing the progress my clients make over time and celebrating their accomplishments alongside their families. Because each client has unique strengths and challenges, I have learned to remain flexible, patient, and creative in my approach to care. I am CPR certified as I feel that is a necessity to working with children. Beyond childcare, I am happy to assist with household tasks such as cleaning and organizing, which I believe are important in creating a comfortable and structured space for children to thrive. I am also very comfortable around animals and have a genuine love for them. I have experience caring for both small and large dogs and currently have two dogs at home—a pitt bull and a Maltipoo mix.

I am excited to support a household as a dedicated nanny. With four years of experience managing multi-child families ranging from newborns to ten-year-olds, I bring a proactive, calm, and highly organized approach to everyday childcare. As a university lecturer, active filmmaker, and community storyteller, I bring fun, creativity, and organization to my role as a nanny. My background includes caring for a family with two children across the toddler to ten-year-old spectrum, as well as a family with three children spanning from newborn to ten years old. Managing households with wide age gaps has given me a deep understanding of varied developmental milestones. I am adept at balancing complex schedules, whether that means managing newborn feeding and nap routines while simultaneously supervising a ten-year-old’s homework and creative projects. Beyond safety and logistics, my focus is on fostering an environment of curiosity, emotional stability, and engaging daily activities tailored to each child's interests. I pride myself on clear communication, reliability, and adapting to a family’s unique culture so you can focus entirely on your endeavors with complete peace of mind. I would welcome the opportunity to connect and discuss how my childcare background can best serve your family.
