Hi there! 💗 My name is Miranda, and I’m a compassionate, enthusiastic, and creative caregiver who recently moved to Chicago! I have a background in babysitting, education, film, and the arts, and I’ve always loved connecting with people of all ages.
I worked a year living in Madrid, Spain, where I worked as an English teacher at a bilingual secondary school. During my time there, I helped students develop their English skills, supported classroom activities, and encouraged creativity, curiosity, and confidence in their learning.
I would describe myself as patient, attentive, empathetic, and playful! I love encouraging imagination and self expression, whether that’s through arts and crafts, storytelling, music, outdoor adventures, or educational activities. I believe in creating a nurturing environment where children feel comfortable being themselves while having the opportunity to learn and explore the world around them. I’m also bilingual in English and Spanish and would be happy to incorporate language learning into everyday activities!
Beyond childcare, I’m a lifelong animal lover and have cared for my two wonderful cats for over 17 years. My experience caring for senior pets has taught me the importance of patience, consistency, and being attentive to their individual needs. I’m comfortable with feeding, playtime, companionship, and following established pet care routines. I’m also happy to help families with housekeeping, organizing, meal preparation, and other everyday household tasks.
In my free time, I enjoy filmmaking, music, festivals, exploring nature, traveling, and discovering new creative hobbies. I’m naturally curious and love bringing that same sense of wonder and enthusiasm into the spaces and relationships I share with others.
Above all, I value kindness, communication, reliability, and treating every family and home with genuine care and respect. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and contribute to a happy, supportive environment! 💗
