A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Mia, a Public Health student at the University of Maryland, College Park, originally from Bethesda, MD. I have over four years of experience working with children as a tennis coach, where I developed a patient, encouraging, and attentive approach. I’ve also volunteered extensively with children with intellectual and developmental disabilities, which has strengthened my compassion, adaptability, and ability to support each child’s unique needs.
I truly enjoy creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and happy. I am dependable, responsible, and warm, and I value building strong, trusting relationships with both children and families. I would love the opportunity to bring my positive energy and childcare experience to a family in need of a caring and reliable nanny.
