I've not had an opportunity to have kids and I love them! This is a way for me to enjoy that and help out at the same time. I'm a very dependable person, with a B.S. in Communications and Public Relations, as well as a Certificate of Photography. I'm also a Yoga Therapist and teacher and have had a children's Yoga Ed certification since 2009. I am CPR and first aid trained, and I love pets of all kinds and have 4 cats of my own that I first fostered and now adopted...you could say I am a foster failure :) Looking forward to hearing from you!

My name is Lam, and I have 4 years of experience caring for toddlers and preschoolers. Currently, I’m working part-time with a toddler—helping with diaper and clothing changes, prepping breakfast and lunch, school drop-off, and picking up for after-school activities like library visits and playground time. Employment History: • 2012–2013: Full-time nanny for a family with a 2- and a 4-year-old. • Summer 2012: Teaching assistant for JHU-CTY summer school in Chestertown, MD. • August 2011 – June 2012: Nanny for an 8-month-old baby boy in Canton. • Summer 2006: Helped my brother care for his three children (an infant, a toddler, and a preschooler). I also provided childcare during Sunday services at the First Presbyterian Church. Education: I earned my Master’s degree in Science.

References from my current employer are available upon request. About Me: I love my job and always try my best to connect with children through fun and educational activities—such as critical thinking games and craft projects. Discipline Philosophy: I follow a gentle and respectful approach, using three steps: 1. Kind words 2. Quiet time-outs to help the child calm down 3. Encouraging the use of manners (excuse me, sorry, please, thank you, and you’re welcome) My goal is to support children in developing strong, independent, and kind personalities, helping them understand what they want and how to go after it.

Why I Love Being a Sitter I’ve always loved caring for children—it comes naturally to me. As a mom of two and a former teacher, I know how important it is to create a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids feel seen and supported. I genuinely enjoy helping children grow, learn, and explore their unique personalities. Whether we’re reading stories, doing crafts, or just sharing a laugh, I find so much joy in building those special bonds. ⸻ My Experience My childcare journey started early—babysitting as a teen, then working summers as a camp counselor and certified lifeguard. I went on to earn a Master’s in Elementary Education and spent years teaching kindergarten, 2nd grade, and 6th grade. I also led the tennis program at Deer Mountain Day Camp, working with kids of all ages and skill levels. I’ve supported children in all stages of development and feel confident handling routines, schoolwork, playtime, and everything in between. ⸻ My Skills & Training • Master’s Degree in Elementary Education • Certified Lifeguard (past) • CPR & First Aid knowledge • Strong classroom management and communication skills • Experience with children from infants to pre-teens I’m patient, attentive, and calm under pressure—qualities that help children feel secure and help parents feel at ease. I’m currently looking for a part-time position that could grow into something more consistent or full-time down the line. I bring warmth, structure, and years of hands-on experience, and I’d love to find a family I can build a lasting relationship with.

Hi and welcome!! My name is Mia and I am graduate of American University with a BS in Public Health. I not only love, but have ample experience in working with children from various age groups. Most of my experience lies with toddlers as a nanny for high profile clientele, and during my time at Woodlin Child Development Center as a child care aide. Additionally, I've also tutored elementary/middle school age children as a fellow with Teach for America for several years. I am also comfortable with driving, with pets and food and tailored lesson plan preparation if need be. For a long time, I have wanted to pursue pediatrics so I have a great interest and passion for working with children and truly love every experience I get when it comes to educating and spending time with young ones. As for my availability at the moment, I am currently very flexible as I prepare to return to school. Please do reach out if you feel we are a fit!
