About Miriam

Experience: 10 yrs

Nurturing a child's growth and development is my true passion, fueled by 10 years of dedicated experience. My approach is defined by a calm, patient demeanor and a creative spirit that keeps children engaged. I hold a college degree with coursework in Early Child Development, which informs how I support children from infancy through their pre-teen years. I am comfortable caring for up to two children and am happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping, and crafts. Whether we are playing outdoor sports, solving puzzles, or engaging in educational games, I prioritize both fun and structure. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules to ensure consistency. I provide regular updates through written reports, text, or verbal communication at pickup. I am CPR trained and First Aid certified. I look forward to the opportunity to bring warmth and reliability to your family's daily life.

Mimi cared for our six-month-old son during the year we lived in Washington, DC. She is energetic, dependable, professional, kind, and genuinely caring. Our son absolutely loved spending time with her. He was a very active baby, and Mimi did a wonderful job keeping him engaged and getting him out of the house. She regularly took him on walks and outings to the library, the Cathedral, Tatte, and around the neighborhood. She was also very attentive to our preferences and consistently followed our guidance around bottle feeding, diaper changes, naps, and his daily routine. As a first-time mom, I also really appreciated Mimi’s experience and support. There were many times when I would ask for her perspective or guidance, and she was always thoughtful, reassuring, and helpful. We were very grateful to have her care for our son and would happily recommend her to another family. If we hadn't moved, Mimi would still be with us today!
