About Mariah

Experience: 10 yrs

I became an Aunt at the age of 10. My mom also owned a daycare. And when I was old enough I was of course helping out with the kiddos there. Caregiving has always naturally been apart of my life. Which I am very grateful for because I love kids! I've had years of experience working at a child development center called Kidstrong. Working with a wide range of kids from walking-11 years of age. Some on the spectrum and some not. Both and all I loved! I've been a caregiver for 5 families before. three part time and two full time. I've had experience with many infants and care for them dearly! I am very fun but calm with the kids and my patience never ends! On top of all of this I've been a lifeguard and have taught many swim lessons in my time. Teaching kids how to swim was a very rewarding job. But because of this I am CPR/ First Aid certified. I feel very qualified to watch multiple children. And I would love to be apart of you and your children's lives. I want to help! Thank you!

Mariah has been our babysitter for about a year, and I truly cannot recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly mature, dependable, and consistently communicates clearly and professionally. Most importantly, she is absolutely wonderful with our children (ages four and two). She engages them in fun, creative activities every time she’s with them — they’re always busy learning and playing, and screen time is never the focus. Our kids genuinely adore her. When we tell them Mariah is coming over, they clap and get excited — which says everything about the kind of connection she builds with them. Mariah handles behavior thoughtfully and appropriately, setting clear boundaries while staying kind and calm. She goes above and beyond during every visit — preparing meals, feeding them, giving baths, and getting them into pajamas so everything is taken care of when we return home. It makes it so much easier for us to enjoy an evening out knowing the entire routine is handled. She has also been incredibly flexible and supportive when I travel for work, even arriving as early as 6 a.m. to make sure the kids are cared for and get to school safely. We fully trust her in every aspect of their care. We feel very lucky to have found Mariah. She has been a true gift to our family.
