More About Me

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

I've had the privilege of caring for children in both family homes and early childhood education programs. I spent over 20 years as a teacher before becoming a nanny, where I've spent the past 5+ years providing personalized, nurturing care to children and supporting families.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Activities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, sports, outdoor adventures, reading, and exploring their interests. I love creating fun, engaging experiences based on each child’s personality and curiosity.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most to me as a nanny is building a meaningful connection with the child while also developing a trusting partnership with the parents and family. I believe teamwork, communication, and consistency create the best environment for children to grow.

My experience with special needs children...

I have experience caring for children with a variety of individual needs. I believe every child is unique and deserves patience, understanding, encouragement, and a supportive environment where they can grow and feel confident.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite funny memories was when a child noticed I only drank water and said, “You know there are other drinks in the world!” I told him I knew, but I preferred water. He then offered me his milk and encouraged me to try something new. His sweet and curious personality made me laugh!!

Babysitter Available in Lutz, FL: Mia G.

I’ve always loved being around kids and have been caring for children for over 10 years. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve grown up helping take care of my three younger siblings, and I’ve also spent a lot of time caring for my younger cousins. I’ve babysat children ranging from 4 months to 15 years old, so I’m comfortable with a variety of ages, personalities, and routines. I’m responsible, patient, and easygoing, and I really enjoy finding fun activities to do with kids while making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I know how important it is for parents to feel like they can trust the person they’re leaving their children with, and I always try to make that trust a priority
