Meet Akilah

  • Comfortable with pets

My current background check and an impeccable Motor Vehicle Record are available upon request. Hello! My name is Akilah and I am an experienced and professional career nanny seeking babysitting and nanny jobs here in Miami Beach or very close by. I live on Lincoln and Collins and I have experience as a babysitter, mother's helper and a live-in nanny. I have well over 5 years of professional paid experience working with children of all capacities and families from various backgrounds. Most of my recent nanny assignments are with a reputable high-profile families in the affluent Southern Pointe community, so I have a complete respect for your family's privacy. I understand the concept of being "friendly, but not familiar." During my past experiences, I have filled a variety of roles such as a caregiver, teacher, chauffeur, personal shopper, party planner, photographer, assistant, and friend to all members of the household. Read more I have attended some college and plan on returning soon to finish my Registered Nursing studies. I do not smoke and I do not mind working in a home where the parents do. I have a reliable means of transportation and I am willing to travel up to 5 miles to be your sitter. My CPR and First Aid training & certifications are up-to-date. While your children are in my care, some of the activities that I enjoy are reading out loud, arts and crafts, swimming, board games, trips to the park, role playing, attending play dates, cooking with and exploring foreign languages. I truly have an aptitude for learning new things and I seem to have a niche for foreign languages as well. I can speak and read moderate Spanish, Japanese, and a handful of other languages. I am often described as a highly energetic, intelligent, and very outgoing young lady. I am also lovable, natural, nurturing, sociable, and very trustworthy. I hope you find my skills, experience and charisma to be an ideal match for your family's needs. Please feel free to contact me if you are in the area and are in need of a reliable sitter. Rates are negotiable and professional references can be provided upon request.
