Hi! My name is Miriam, and I’ve been babysitting, nannying, and teaching for several years. I have experience with children of all ages—from infants to preteens. My past babysitting roles have included everything from helping with homework and preparing meals to organizing creative activities and bedtime routines. I’ve also worked as a summer camp counselor and taught art and environmental science to young kids, which has given me experience keeping children engaged, safe, and happy in both structured and flexible settings. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve also completed training in conflict resolution and trauma-informed care. I always aim to create a calm, respectful, and fun environment where kids feel supported and parents feel confident.
