Warm, Nurturing Infant & Toddler Nanny | 15+ Years I’m a dedicated childcare provider with 15+ years of hands-on experience supporting families with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children—including multi-child households and children with autism and sensory needs. My specialty is the newborn-to-toddler stage, where consistency, emotional safety, and attentive care matter most. I’ve supported babies from as young as a few weeks old, helping establish feeding routines, sleep rhythms, and calm, structured days that support healthy development—for both the child and the parents. What sets me apart is my naturally nurturing, hands-on approach. I’m deeply engaged with the children I care for—whether that’s: . Singing and talking throughout the day to support language development . Creating calm, structured routines that help children feel secure . Getting on the floor to play, explore, and connect . Taking children on walks and outdoor time to engage with the world around them I’m Read more not a passive caregiver. I’m present, warm, and intentional. I also bring a strong background in: . Supporting children with autism and sensory sensitivities . Emotional regulation and age-appropriate behavior guidance . Maintaining organized, clean, and smoothly run home environments My experience started early—growing up as the oldest of five (with multiple siblings on the autism spectrum), I naturally stepped into a caregiving role that shaped how I show up today: patient, attentive, and deeply compassionate. Professionally, I’ve worked in both private homes and a preschool setting, where I supported early learning, routines, and developmental milestones including potty training, early education, and social development. Families I work with can expect someone who is: . Reliable and consistent . Warm, affectionate, and engaging . Proactive and detail-oriented . Focused on creating a safe, calm, and loving environment I’m CPR & First Aid certified, have reliable transportation, and am open to long-term roles where I can build strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents.

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.
