Meriah
I am 30 years old, and I am an active-duty rescue swimmer in the US Navy, so I am CPR + First Aid certified. Before I joined the navy, I had a total of 8 years of experience as a Nanny and babysitter. Three of those years were for two children, girl (3) and boy with autism (5). Concurrently, five of the years I babysat for 2 young boys (aged 6mo-5yr &3-8). Additional years included babysitting for multiple families through word-of-mouth ages ranging from 4 months to 10 years old. Though I haven’t been paid as a nanny or babysitter in 7 years, I still help out friends in the military with their kids of all ages. I am very active, patient, and enjoy connecting with kids. I look forward to helping and supporting!

Hi! I’m Mylah, and caring for children has always been a passion of mine. As the oldest of four siblings, I’ve spent years naturally stepping into a nurturing and responsible role, which led me to nannying, babysitting, teaching, and children’s ministry. My Christian faith is at the heart of how I care for others, and I strive to lead with kindness, patience, integrity, and compassion. My goal is to create a safe, fun, and loving environment where children can grow and families feel at peace.

Emy
I'm a mother of 3 (all adults), Gigi of 1. I am a part-time caregiver of my disabled sister. I'm also a Realtor. I'm looking for another stream of revenue to supplement my income and desire to do something along the lines of what I'm passionate about. My passion is people, especially children. My expertise is families with special needs as I have an adult son on the spectrum and my sister whom I have cared for all my life. It takes special people to work with special people and God has given me that gift. I also treat everyone like my family.
