A little bit about me
Im a very well organized neat person . I also have. I'm a responsible, well-organized, hardworking person. I always follow directions well. I'm a very outgoing person. I enjoy spending time with children, doing fun activities with them like going to the library, playground, also doing arts and crafts. I enjoy being able to give that child that one-on-one with them and helping them to grow. I like to go to the park, doing play-dates with children's friends. My favorite thing about child care is being able to help them develop and learn. The work I've been asked to do in the past has mostly been helping the children learn to read at the library, swim at the pool, arts and crafts (cutting shapes, using Play Doh, making cards for birthdays and doing special things for holidays), teaching the kids numbers and the alphabet in English. I can also teach Spanish if that is part of your learning plan for your child. I also do laundry cooking and light cleaning for the family.

"Mikaila was an amazing nanny for my baby girl. She would play lots of games with my daughter and took her and my dog on daily walks. My daughter loved her so much. She would get the biggest smile when Mikaila came every day. As a mom it made me feel so good knowing that my daughter felt happy and safe with her. Mikaila also helped out with the laundry, dishes, and some light cleaning which is a huge help. She also took such good care of my two dogs. I highly recommend her!"

A little bit about me
I’m a dedicated and nurturing nanny with more 5 years of hands-on experience caring for infants and toddlers. My childcare journey began in daycare centers, where I worked as both an infant assistant teacher and a toddler assistant teacher. Those roles helped me build a strong foundation in child development, routines and age-appropriate learning.

"We went through several nannies before we found Cheyenne and we kept her for 3-4 years. She helped care and raise 2 of our kids and we miss her dearly. She intuitively understood our parenting style, and I'll give an example: one time I was "daddy dinosaur" chasing my 3y at the time and our 1y was watching. Cheyenne could see our 1y wanted to participate but couldn't run yet and was watching. She immediately jumped in and starting giving loads of attention to our 1y old. I dont think Cheyenne knows we clocked this - but that is her in an essence. 1000 words doesn't do justice the praise I have for her (we've been through I think 4-5 nannies before her). She knew/followed our sleep training - and was with us in scary moments, like when our youngest had a febrile seizure (we had never heard of such a thing prior). She was always reliable, easy to talk to (I think we became friends?), and just intuitively locked into us as a family system. We love her and miss her."

A little bit about me
I have been a nanny for 14+ exciting years! I am also a loving wife and the proud mom of 2 beautiful girls. I delight in my job as a nanny and there's nothing more satisfying than to see the kids in my care go through the different fun stages, achieve their developmental milestones, be happy and healthy. I do believe that it's a gift, the special way I am able to connect with kids in my care, and I also give some credit to my amazing mom who is an Early Childhood Educator for 40+ years (in the Caribbean where I was born). I am therefore searching for a wonderful family to bless and grow with, who will respect and appreciate me as their Nanny, and I endeavor to do my utmost best. I have the best job in the world caring for children and my goal is to always make a long lasting, healthy and positive relationships and impact on every home/family I work for.
