A little bit about me

Hi! I’m Mia, a caring, energetic, and responsible caregiver with several years of experience working with children in fun, active environments. I’ve coached ice skating classes for several years and spent three summers as a camp counselor, where I helped kids learn new skills, stay safe, and have a great time.

Through these experiences, I’ve learned how to connect with children of all ages, keep them engaged, and create a positive, structured atmosphere.

I’m reliable, patient, and genuinely enjoy helping kids grow and thrive. I’d love the opportunity to bring that same enthusiasm and care into your home!

I am looking to care for kids during the summer as I am in college and need to go back mid August.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part of being a nanny is providing a space where children feel seen, understood, and free to be themselves. Children thrive when they know they are valued and accepted for who they are, and a supportive environment allows them to explore their interests, express their creativity, and build confidence.

Being a nanny is about actively listening, encouraging curiosity, and fostering independence while also setting gentle boundaries. When kids feel safe and supported, they develop trust, feel empowered to try new things, and learn how to navigate the world with confidence. Creating that kind of environment is both rewarding and meaningful, and it’s something I strive to bring to every interaction with children.

My experience with special needs children...

Personally, I was born with a short arm and three fingers, but I’ve never let that define me or limit what I can do. Growing up, I learned how to adapt, stay determined, and approach challenges with a positive mindset. I was always dedicated in school and developed strong problem-solving skills along the way.

Because of my own experiences, I feel I have a deeper understanding of what it’s like to navigate the world a little differently. I’ve learned patience, resilience, and how important it is to create an environment where everyone feels included and supported. I believe those qualities help me connect with and support children with special needs in a meaningful and empathetic way.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Although I haven’t officially been a nanny, I’ve spent the past three summers as a camp counselor, and some of my favorite moments with kids have been going to the park together. I love watching them run, play, and explore while having fun outdoors.

Whether it’s swinging, climbing, or playing a game of tag, seeing their energy and excitement is so rewarding. Those moments remind me how much joy there is in simply being present, active, and encouraging kids as they have fun and make memories.
