Miriam V., Child Care in Sterling, VA 20165 with 19 years of paid experience

I like to have fun with children!  Their amazing energy needs to be harnessed in productive ways.  I have the ability to gather bored children and creat a fun craft or game that makes everyone interested.  I have a warm and playful personality making children feel comfortable and safe immediately after meeting me.  I genuinely love children!i

We've worked with Miriam for the past 6 years. We hired "Mimi" part-time back in 2010 and she has been caring for both our sons since they were newborns. She is truly extraordinary: respectful, responsible, loving, structured and professional. She has rarely called in sick and is always on time if not early. She will play on the floor with the boys, take them to the park, to the library, brings over art materials for crafts, reads to them, does homework with my oldest, she loves teaching them sports and music... and we're all very grateful and lucky to have her in our lives. I've had other moms approach me to tell me how great she is with my boys in my absence, and there's just no better feeling than being able to leave the house on my way to work knowing the kids are in great and loving hands. She's also our #1 babysitter and I can leave the house not even having to tell her any instructions because I know she knows exactly how to care for my kids. We have asked her to speak only Spanish to our children, but she speaks excellent English and has cared for all different family types and cultures. She has her own new car and no dependents, so she literally dedicates her life to her childcare kids and families, and she has become part of ours! I can honestly say that she has taught me how to be a better, more patient parent.

Susan has been seeing our boys since late 2022. She started with our first born and then was introduced to our second born (as he arrived after she met the first). The first loved her immensely. The second grew rapidly fond of her. When we tell them that "Miss Susan" is coming to visit for babysitting, they explode in joy. Once, I had to work from home and could witness her work. Both boys really wanted her attention and they can be intense. She was good at diffusing crises and fights over time with her. They played for hours without any of the boys screaming or arguing. They listen to her so well and she is kind with them (without letting them push her over). She is someone we trust immensely with our kids. And they trust her -- for us, this was pretty much the thing that sealed the deal. A person worth hiring.

Montserrath is such a breath of fresh air. I wish we could have her as a full-time sitter, but unfortunately her availability doesn’t allow for that. She is a lovely, kind, and patient person, and an excellent sitter. You’ll be lucky to have her babysit for you. I will definitely hire her again. Thank you!

Rachel was incredible with our children (ages 4, 8, and 9)! The kids said they had a wonderful time with her and enjoyed an evening of playful activities and a good meal. Rachel was kind and communicative with us leading up to her visit as well as throughout the evening. She sent photos of the children having a wonderful time. I would highly recommend Ms. Rachel and would happily work with her again!

I enjoy being with children, they are my little friends. I love reading, coloring, singing, dancing, listening music and getting the fresh air with them outside. We can be silly and loud and we can be quite and listen the wind.
