I am a dependable and experienced childcare provider with over 10 years of paid childcare experience, caring for children from infancy through teenage years. I have worked with newborns, toddlers, school-age children, pre-teens, and teenagers, including twins and multiple-child households. I have extensive experience caring for children with special needs, including autism spectrum disorders, ADHD, and sensory sensitivities. Growing up as the oldest sibling in a family with multiple neurodivergent children, combined with my professional experience, has given me a calm, patient, and structured caregiving approach that prioritizes safety, emotional regulation, and clear routines. I am confident caring for infants, including feeding schedules, diapering, nap routines, and developmental play. I am also comfortable caring for sick children, following parent instructions closely while maintaining a clean and supportive environment. In addition to daily care, I regularly assist with: • Homework help and school routines • Age-appropriate educational activities • Creative play Read more and structured enrichment • Light meal preparation and tidying related to childcare I am a non-smoker, comfortable with pets, and have reliable transportation, allowing me to assist with school pick-ups, activities, and errands when needed. I am comfortable caring for up to two children at a time, ensuring each child receives attentive and individualized care. I am currently seeking a recurring or long-term position where I can build a consistent relationship with a family and become a trusted part of their child’s daily routine. Parents I’ve worked with describe me as reliable, patient, attentive, and communicative. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and structured environment where children feel supported and parents feel confident leaving their children in my care.

Malia is honestly one of the best caregivers we’ve worked with. Knowing she was with our kids took away so much stress when we needed her. She communicates clearly. Everything about working with her made us feel reassured and comfortable. Our kids absolutely adores her, and we can tell they feel safe and relaxed in her care.

Malia is truly the absolute best. She is professional, responsive, and incredibly responsible. She has cared for our child several times, and every time we return, he is happy, calm, and well taken care of. Malia does an excellent job, which gives us so much peace of mind when she's hanging out with him. I’m so grateful we found her and would recommend her to any family without hesitation.
