A little bit about me

My name is Miranda Gibson and I am 28 years old. I have lived in Meridian MS for my entire life. I have 15+ years experience with childcare, including two children of my own. I have looked after children since I was a child myself- including babysitting for families in my area to teaching Vacation Bible School at Union Baptist Church. I have always been passionate about children.

I love the outdoors and enjoy taking children on adventures as well as staying home with them doing arts and crafts. I am certified in Culinary Arts and would love to provide your little one with healthy, fun meals. I am also willing to help with housekeeping as needed and most importantly- I am very vigilant about the health and safety of your little one.

I am open to long and short term opportunities and I am available 7 days per week for up to 4 children. I believe communication is critical and I strive to create long term relationships with every family that I work with. Thank you for your time
