Hi! My passion for working with children began when I worked as a babysitter during my senior year of high school. Since then, I have gained several years of experience supporting children in educational, recreational, and caregiving settings.After graduating from UC Davis, I returned to working with children through my role as an aide at a public library, where I led weekly Family Storytimes using stories, songs, and my ukulele to engage young children and their families. I also completed 3 units in Child Development through my local community college.My experience includes serving as a Transitional Kindergarten (TK) instructional aide for children ages 4-5, an after-school program assistant supporting students in grades 2-5, and a summer program assistant working with 12 rising kindergarteners. I have also helped lead engaging and musical experiences for children ages 0-5 through singing, songs, and interactive participation.Today, I work as an elementary school librarian, where I interact with students Pre-K through 5th grade. I enjoy creating welcoming experiences through a greeting song on my ukulele, read-alouds, and learning about studentsβ interests as they check out books from the library.I would say families appreciate my caring and enthusiastic nature. I strive to create a safe, positive environment where children feel welcomed, supported, and encouraged to have fun. I would love the opportunity to assist your family with your caregiving needs!

Hello!My name is Miranda, and I have over five years of experience as a nanny. A little bit about me: I love coffee, hiking, sewing, plants, cooking, and wakeboarding. I have an espresso machine at home and enjoy making iced lattes in my downtime. Iβm always exploring new creative outletsβwhether itβs arts and crafts, pottery, or other hands-on projects. Since picking up wakeboarding over the summer, Iβm now excited to learn how to surf!My nannying style is centered on a gentle approach. I believe discipline can be done with loveβthrough patience, kindness, and understanding. Over the years, Iβve found that many young children simply need guidance in expressing their emotions, and with the right support, they can learn healthy ways to communicate. I love fostering a safe, fun, and encouraging environment where kids can thrive. I am CPR and First Aid certified and currently seeking stable, long-term part-time work Monday through Thursday, anytime until 6 p.m. On occasion, Iβd also be happy to help on a Friday through Sunday with advanced notice.Iβd love the chance to connect over FaceTime to get to know you better and see if weβre the right fit!Warmly, Miranda
