I love every phase of childhood, including my own three kids' current teen years. My experience as a learning facilitator and nanny has shown me it's important to authentically connect with and respect children, balancing their desire for autonomy with safety. I focus on the individual child, their learning style and developmental stage. One of the things I've loved about raising and working with children is the opportunity to rediscover the world. I enjoy any outdoor activity, including dog walking. I enjoy playing with microscopes, telescopes, and science toys. LEGOs and dolls are also pretty cool. I also love making popcorn and relaxing with the kids' favorite show, and just about any art medium is awesome. I always advocate for children and support parents. I am cheerful, resourceful, on time, and reliable.

Miliana was a great fit for our family needs and dynamic. She likes to have busy hands and never needs to be asked to jump in. She has her own parenting experience, plus has nannied for a variety of families, so she has a lot of suggestions when you ask but not when you don't. She's great at letting you make the decisions and following them with no judgment. She is great at meeting your kid(s) where they are but also challenging them. I trust her to make sure my kids are not exposed to any hurtful or limiting mindsets. She has been great at supporting different stages of our parenting and the things we've tried and adjusted as time has gone on. She always brings a great attitude to work and seems genuinely happy to be around my kids, which is great, because sometimes I am not. She also took some certification classes while in our employ, which was wonderful for both of us. She worked for us for 1 year full time.
