A little bit about me

Hi!

My name is Maliah. I’m a student at Morgan State University studying political science. I’m originally from Phoenix, Arizona and moved to Baltimore to continue my education. I’m also a dog mom, so I’m very comfortable around pets and understand the importance of patience, routine, and care.

I’ve always loved working with children and have experience caring for kids from newborn age through preschool, though I truly enjoy children of all ages. My approach to childcare focuses on nurturing, attentiveness, and creating a safe, loving environment where children feel supported as they grow. I’m especially mindful with infants and toddlers, paying close attention to emotional comfort, daily routines, and developmental milestones.

Outside of school and childcare, I enjoy hiking and spending time outdoors, which I love incorporating into age appropriate activities when possible. I’m responsible, patient, and committed to providing families with dependable and thoughtful care.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

In addition to direct childcare, I have experience serving with children through my church, where I assist with youth activities, supervision, and creating a positive, supportive environment. This has strengthened my ability to lead with patience, responsibility, and compassion while working with children in group settings. I am comfortable following structure, supporting different personalities, and helping children feel safe, included, and encouraged.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments working with kids happened during a week when I had a presentation coming up. I mentioned it casually, not thinking much of it, and somehow my little guy took it very seriously. From that moment on, he decided that if I had to dress professional, then so did he.

Every single morning that week he demanded to wear his “suit,” which to him meant a button up shirt and dress pants. Pajamas were suddenly unacceptable. Sweatpants were for people without important meetings. He would stand there, hands on his hips, inspecting his outfit like a tiny CEO, asking me if he looked “presentable.” If I suggested something more comfortable, he’d look at me like I was trying to sabotage his career.
