A little bit about me

Hi all! My name is Mia, and I am 22 years old. I am a rising senior at Westmont College completing my B.A in Psychology with a focus on child development. I am looking for a long-term full-time placement with a family and wiling to travel or live-in if needed :). I currently work part-time for UHNW families. My favorite environments to engage with kids are in nature, the kitchen, or an art studio I also have years’ experience in watching kids aged 4-13 for VBS, Sunday school, and summer/winter camp counseling. In addition, I worked with CSEC pre-teens battling addictions, behavioral challenges, and psychiatric illnesses. I hope to open my own clinical practice working with children who come from ACE’s and work towards helping them achieve a confident view of self. In my spare time I like to hike, hammock, camp, play piano, and build sculptures/ceramic vessels. Most of all, I am compassionate, caring, determined, flexible and eager to develop long-term relationships with your family.

More About Me

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

VBS (Vacation bible school)
Junior High Summer/Winter camp, tutoring

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Arts and crafts, riding bikes, hiking, beach activities, camping, and building forts

The most important part about being a nanny...

Developing the trust from a child and family and be able to accommodate not only tangible needs, but relational and emotional needs as well

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for two children/pre-teens with cerebral palsy. One child was mostly independent with behavioral challenges and her brother was completely dependent for care. I took them to go for nature walks and played with puzzles to increase their fine-motor skills and perceptual ability. It was an enriching experience to know how to care for children who communicate very differently than what I was used to. I enjoyed the time we had together to just play and enjoy the simplicities in life.

Janira C. - Seeking Work in Montecito

Live-In Part-Time Nanny Available in Montecito, CA: Janira C.

Hi, I’m Janira!
I have experience caring for children from infancy through the teenage years. I’ve had the privilege of working with high-profile families as well as in an outdoor camp and school environment, giving me a well-rounded approach to childcare that combines structure, adventure, and lots of heart.

I’m a city girl who absolutely loves nature, and I enjoy encouraging kids to explore, stay curious, and find joy in the world around them. I see my role as more than simply providing childcare. I strive to be a positive mentor, a trusted big-sister figure, and, when needed, that extra “third parent” who brings consistency, support, and encouragement.

My goal is always to create a safe, nurturing environment where children feel seen, confident, and free to be themselves while helping families feel supported and at ease.

I look forward to finding a great family to work with!
