About Miranda

Experience: 10 yrs

I have 26 years of both paid and unpaid experience working with children from infant to the age of 18. I have experience with children with behavior problems and special needs such as intellectual disabilities, ADHD and Asperger's syndrome. When I am caring for children, I like to find hands-on and engaging activities for them to do. If we couldn't go out, I always found something to do such as doing craft activities or reading books I feel that children learn best by being active and strive to minimize screen time. When the children are napping, I do light cleaning and prepare food. I have an Associates in Early Childhood Education and have a bachelors degree in Early Childhood and Special Education. During the school year, I work full time as a multiple disabilities teacher. For this reason, I am only available on weekends, the summer months, and school holidays. If my caregiving style matches your families needs, please reach out. Thank you for considering me!

Miranda helped me out on short notice with my 4 year old son , her communication was great, she was willing to change her schedule around to help me, her and my son hit it off even though he is a big mommas boy, he was well taken care of when I got home and happy. Awesome that she knows ASL as well (not just some very baby sign as a lot of care.com people do) - so many benefits for young babies and toddlers for early ASL exposure.
