A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Miriam. I’m an experienced and qualified professional nanny with extensive experience caring for children from infancy through elementary age. I’m currently seeking a part-time, occasional, weeknight or weekend babysitting/nanny position.

I’m passionate about providing safe, nurturing, and developmentally appropriate care while supporting children’s routines, independence, learning, and emotional well-being. I hold an A.A. in Teacher Education, graduating cum laude from Medgar Evers College, and have completed nanny training programs affiliated with the Carroll Gardens Nanny Association, NYU, and Cornell University.

I’m trained in Adult, Child, and Infant First Aid/CPR/AED and am up to date on vaccinations. Families describe me as reliable, punctual, trustworthy, and communicative.

References and resume are available. I’d be happy to connect by text, phone, email, or Zoom to discuss your family’s needs.

Warmly,
Miriam Placide

More About Me

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

Through my teacher education training, I gained valuable classroom observation experience, learning how to support children’s development, encourage positive behavior, and create engaging, age-appropriate learning experiences.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy planning age-appropriate indoor and outdoor activities, including arts and crafts, sensory play, music and movement, story time, nature walks, playground adventures, and hands-on learning experiences that encourage creativity, curiosity, and developmental growth.

The most important part about being a nanny...

To me, the most important part of being a nanny is making a child feel safe, loved, understood, and confident while supporting their growth and development. Building trust with the child and family and being someone they can depend on is what makes this work so meaningful to me.

My experience with special needs children...

My teacher education training included supervised classroom observations with children with diverse developmental and learning needs, providing me with valuable insight into individualized support, communication, patience, and creating an inclusive and nurturing environment.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite nanny moments are the little everyday victories when a child learns something new, proudly shows me what they’ve created, or reaches for my hand because they feel safe and comfortable with me. Those moments are incredibly rewarding.
