Activity summary
Welcome message:
Hi, I’m Mia, I am 17. As a caregiver with five years of experience, I'm passionate about fostering a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children. My previous babysitting roles ignited a desire within me to make a positive impact on young lives, and I find great joy in supporting families by providing reliable childcare options.
My patient and calm nature, coupled with my creativity and friendly approach, allows me to connect easily with children and create an atmosphere where they feel comfortable and can thrive. I believe in open communication with parents and ensure regular updates about their child's day, using their preferred method of communication.
When it comes to enforcing household rules, I follow the parents' lead, ensuring consistency and respecting their parenting style. I enjoy engaging children in a variety of games, including board games, puzzles, and educational games that promote learning.
