Hello there! My name is Mariah and I am 30 years old. My cats name is Opal and I've had her for about eight years. I love arts and crafts and enjoy them when I can. I like to be outdoors hiking or swimming. My work history has been mainly in babysitting, and being the lead teacher for the two and 3-year-olds at a childcare center for three years. I am First Aide/CPR/AED certified as well as having taken my mandated reporter training and health and safety training. If there is anything else you'd like you know please just send me a message and I'll try and get back to you as soon as possible.
We have been incredibly fortunate to have “Miss Mariah” ( as our children called her) care for our children since our son was 1½ years old and our daughter was just 6 months old. From the very beginning, she created a loving, safe, and nurturing environment where our kids thrived. She played such a huge role in their early development—teaching them numbers, shapes, and the alphabet, and even encouraging them to help with little chores like washing dishes. She kept them engaged with fun activities, all while helping with light housework. Communication with her was always easy and pleasant. We never had any confrontations—she has a gift for being understanding, flexible, and considerate of others’ schedules. I always felt completely safe leaving my children in her care, which meant the world to me as a first-time mom. Her background as a daycare teacher and her wealth of experience shone through in everything she did. I even learned valuable techniques from her for handling tantrums and guiding children through challenges. Now that our children are moving on to school, we are deeply grateful for the years we had together. She will forever be part of our family, because her love, patience, and dedication helped shape our children into the happy, confident kids they are today. We truly couldn’t have asked for a better caregiver
