Experience: 12 yrs
Hello! I go by Mirah and I am passionate about supporting children's learning and development, working in partnership with parents to personalize the experience and share my passion and knowledge. I hold a bachelor's degree from UCB in social welfare, specializing in holistic child & family welfare, with a minor in education and a minor in early development/learning sciences. I have also completed the Resources for Infant Educarers (RIE) Foundations course with 2 years intensive RIE training and professional development under my belt. I aim to provide an experience that exceeds the developmental supports, connections with nature, and the broader world connections than what is feasible in a group care/day care/early childhood center. I hope to pack our days with developmentally appropriate but challenging (and importantly fun!) activities, memorable adventures, and slowed down moments of connection that nurture the natural curiosity and eagerness for learning of children in my care.

We are truly grateful to have Fakhraazam (she goes by Mirah) taking care of our daughters. She is not just a typical babysitter; she is a thoughtful, considerate caregiver who applies the RIE methodology in her childcare practice. Her resilience and dedication shine through as she goes above and beyond in planning activities and trips for the kids, including to various parks, museums, local pools, and gardens. What sets Mirah apart is her commitment to ensuring the safety and well-being of our children. With all the necessary certifications, she is well-prepared to handle any urgent matters, whether medical or emergency-related. Her experience as our younger daughter's primary caregiver at a local small daycare has truly shaped her into a reliable and trusted individual for our family. Mirah has demonstrated that she can simultaneously care for both younger infants and older kids. We highly recommend Mirah for any family looking for a caring, responsible, and engaging sitter or nanny. She has become an invaluable part of our lives, and we are fortunate to have her support. Our children adore her, and we couldn't be happier with the quality of care she provides.
