A little bit about me

Hi all! ☀️

My name is Mikaela Ossa, though I go by Mika (meeka). I am 26 and live in the Five Forks area. I recently moved from Hendersonville, NC to attend Greenville Technical College’s nursing program. I have a bachelor’s degree in naturopathy and I’m also a certified yoga instructor. Four years ago, I became a doula and it sparked such a passion in my heart. Through birth work, I discovered that my dream is to become a midwife one day.

I have nannied and babysat children on and off for many years and have cared for kids from newborns to teens. My specialty is definitely with the littles but I really am very adaptable. I love the outdoors, doing crafts, singing, cooking, baking, and dancing.

When it comes to my philosophy with children, and really with most things in life, I do not believe in a one size fits all approach. I prioritize emotional awareness and bodily autonomy.

If you think I would be the right fit for your little(s) and you, feel free to reach out.

Being intuitive to each little human's needs.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I've had special moments with all of my children! I think one of the sweetest is when this 10 year old boy I was nannying asked me to be his Valentine! He made a specially made card just for me and asked if I'd like to get some frozen yogurt. (His family owned a golf cart and was down the street from a fro-yo shop) He paid for my frozen yogurt with his $10 bill! The sweetest, most innocent little date I've ever had! :,)

I am CPR/First Aid certified, and have many educational trainings under my belt through Maine and New Hampshire.

I believe it is so important for children to experience the world around them and not be secluded to indoors all the time. If you don't mind me taking your child out and about from time to time (w/ permission) I am your girl!
I also am able to tidy up around the house, help with homework, laundry, meal prep, and a lot more.
