"Mikaila is a hard worker, she’s great with kids and keeps them on a healthy schedule incorporating schoolwork, exercise, games and art into their routine. My kids were homeschooled and Mikaila helped them stay on track. She always picked up around the house and ensured the house was clean when she left for the day. She was a great fit for our family and the only reason her employment was short with us was because our daughter from college returned home and took over watching her siblings.
Mikaila was truly a blessing for our kids!"

⸻
I have over 16 years of hands-on experience in childcare, including extensive time working as a private nanny. Throughout my career, I have cared for children of various ages, from infants to school-aged children, and have been deeply involved in their daily routines, development, and overall well-being. I take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel supported, valued, and encouraged to grow.
In addition to general childcare, I have meaningful experience working with children who have special needs. This includes providing individualized care, patience, and understanding for children with developmental and medical challenges. I am comfortable adapting routines, activities, and communication styles to meet each child’s unique needs, while maintaining a calm and compassionate approach.
Being a nanny has allowed me to build strong, trusting relationships not only with the children in my care but also with their families..

"You can totally trust her to take good care of your baby/toddler. She has kids of her own and she understands the struggles of leaving your child with someone else while you are at work. She gives updates periodically throughout the day and treats your child like her own. My 3 year old adores her and her whole family. We have been with Nicky over 6 months and my husband and I are so happy that we found her."

"Haven is a favorite in our household. She has been watching my kids in different capacities since my oldest was 9 months old. She was a long term nanny to our two children (now 5 and 3) for close to 2 years. My kids love her because she is hands on. They do crafts, learn to do household things, and go on adventures (even if it's just the backyard). She is incredibly patient and does well with sibling conflict and big feelings with toddlers. She is reliable and on time and very good at communicating with me."
