About Mariah

I have been babysitting since before I was old enough to have a legal job, and I have continued caring for children throughout early adulthood while also maintaining regular employment. In May 2026, I graduated from Joliet Junior College with an associate degree in Human Services, where I completed several courses related to child welfare, family support, and early childhood development. In my current full-time role, I work with families and children, which has strengthened my communication, patience, and understanding of children's needs. I am CPR certified and first aid trained. I truly care about children and enjoy creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment where they can learn, play, and be themselves. I also enjoy doing creative activities with children and helping them feel comfortable while their parents are away.
