Hey there! I’m Mia and since a little girl I’ve always wanted to grow up and work with kids. It’s fascinating seeing the world by their eyes and sharing experiences with them. I’m fluent in two languages and I’m also a faster learner. Very careful with details, I do not use drugs, smoke or drink. I’m responsible and wiling to do a great job and help in whatever I can. I know how to cook, swim, First Aid and punctuality it’s something important to me. I have my own car and flexible schedule and have experience with babies, toddlers and also older kids. I understand that parents need someone they can trust and kids need someone they feel comfortable with and I’m happy to say that I can be that person for your family. I have references for kids of different ages and absolutely love dealing with all of them. Currently looking for opportunities outside of Cape Cod as I am leaving the island.

I used to work for a public school district for many years. I have previous experience working in the infant/toddler room and school age children at La Petite Academy Daycare. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which I believe is a plus point, since handling children requires a sitter to be prepared for unforeseen circumstances. I am able to drive children to school and accompany them at medical appointments. I am well-versed in performing housework related to childcare, including washing clothes, cleaning up after meals, and tidying up play areas. I don't mind planning and preparing nutritious meals for children according to their tastes and nutritional needs. I enjoy playing with children and helping them develop skills by creating a stimulating environment. My goal is to provide a nurturing and safe environment for children. I'm fluent in English and Spanish. I don't mind pets at all!

After that, I worked as a nanny for about three years before preparing to attend college. While in college, I worked part-time as a caregiver at a senior living facility.

Way back to 2011 my dad lost his job when the economy tanked he went back to school while my mom was the only working and we had 2 big surprises pop up! She had my brother and my sister durning this time which made me grow into a bigger role of big sister/babysitter/2nd mom. Therefore I have experience with all ages and even children with disabilities. For 3 years I worked at the Morgan YMCA teaching swim lessons to all ages (6months-adults), did lifeguarding and also participated in a swim program called Swimming for Exceptional Children. I am no longer certified still in lifeguarding. However, I am certified in CPR/AED, First Aid, and Oxygen.

I was born and raised in California, however Arizona is home. I enjoy many outdoor activities living here provides including going to lakes, mountain bike riding and hiking. I consider myself very outdoorsy, and think it's important to take advantage of this beautiful area. I am also a creative person, so I love going to museums, art projects, and crafting. I have seven years of experience including babysitting, being a nanny and most recently a care taker for a 6-month old baby boy who is now 3. I have worked with families with one child as well as families with multiple children. I feel comfortable watching many children at one time. Although I love working with all ages, I am especially drawn towards children 0-4 years old. I am very experienced in my field and also possess certifications including: CPR (including infants) and First Aid. I am currently majoring in psychology with a focus in child development. As a childcare provider, I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment.

Hello and Thank you for taking the time to read my profile. With over 10 years of dedicated childcare experience, I am a passionate and reliable nanny seeking a long-term position with a loving family. My journey in childcare began when I started watching my grandson on weekends while my daughter-in-law worked, and I quickly discovered this was my true calling. What started as helping family has blossomed into a fulfilling career that brings me immense joy every single day. ## Professional Qualifications & Experience I am certified through the Child Care Aware program with the military, demonstrating my commitment to professional standards and quality care. My extensive experience spans working with children of all ages, including infants as young as 3 months old. I understand the unique needs of each developmental stage and adapt my caregiving approach accordingly, whether it's providing gentle care for newborns or engaging older children in educational activities. Safety and trust are paramount in my work. I have completed comprehensive state and federal background checks, as well as a current driving abstract, all of which I'm happy to share with prospective families. These clearances reflect my commitment to maintaining the highest standards of safety and reliability. ## What Sets Me Apart I believe in making life easier for the families I work with, not just caring for their children. My services extend beyond basic childcare to include light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and maintaining organized, clean spaces. I understand that parents have enough on their plates, so I take pride in handling these additional responsibilities to help create a smoother household routine. My approach to childcare is nurturing yet structured. I focus on creating engaging, educational experiences while maintaining consistent routines that help children feel secure and thrive. Whether it's reading stories, creative play, outdoor activities, or helping with homework, I tailor activities to each child's interests and developmental needs. ## References & Family-Friendly Approach I have excellent references from previous families who can speak to my reliability, trustworthiness, and genuine care for their children. Many of my relationships with families have lasted years, which speaks to my commitment to building lasting, meaningful connections. I'm completely comfortable with pets and understand they're often
