I discovered my love for childcare while living in New York City from 2008 and what began as babysitting quickly grew into a full-time career. Now with more than 15 years of experience, I still feel incredibly grateful to do work I truly love. I am based in Los Angeles and I'm only seeking occasional babysitting and supplemental shifts during my weeks off. I am experience in infants, toddler, school age and adolescents! I come from a large family in Colorado with three nieces and a nephew, and caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I believe every child is unique, so I focus on getting to know their personality and interests in order to support them in a way that fits them best. I’m CPR certified, experienced with twins and multiples, a licensed driver with a clean record, and a confident cook. I love Read more keeping kids engaged through outdoor play, creative activities, sports, and helping in the kitchen. Families describe me as dependable, calm, and highly engaged with children.

Mariah has been our nanny for the past 2 1/2 years. She started when my twins were 13 months and their sister was 3 1/2. My twins are now starting pre-school 5 days a week and we want Mariah to find a wonderful family. We have been so incredibly lucky to have her with us. She is smart, energetic, loves kids and is quite frankly just a joy to be around. I am a stay-at-home mom and therefore have spend a lot of time working side by side with her - trips, playgrounds, museums, you name it. She is on top of everything, always a step ahead - extremely helpful!!!! She can also take care of the 3 herself easily. My kids love her. She is extremely thoughtful when taking care of them. She understands and appreciates their individuality and makes each one feel special. Mariah takes great pride in her work. Working with children and their families is her dream profession. Please contact me if you would like to hear more about Mariah.

Mariah babysat for my children once and when she left my son said, "Can she be my babysitter?" She was very engaged with the children and I felt like my children were in experienced, caring hands". Jennifer K.

We located Mariah at the very last minute -and what a great find! With the cramped living situation we were in, she made the best of it! She took my two boys -1 and 2.5 -and went exploring in the city! The boys warmed up to her immediately and miraculously, she got them both to bed, sound asleep by the end of the night. Although I'm no longer in NY, I'd book her in a heartbeat as often as I could!

Mariah has been working with us full time since April of this year. I am a stay at home mom with a 4 yr old and 19 month old twins. Mariah can handle all 3 no problem, but we mostly work as a team. She is a tremendous help around the house - so organized and hard working. We love her. She is looking for extra hours beyond the time she is with us. Please feel free to call me with any questions.
