I'm Miriam! I am an ASL-Certified Artist with a passion for the Montessori philosophy, silly voices and colorful self-expression. I am a native Austinite returned from Brooklyn where I taught ASL Immersion classes at Babysteps NYC with classes ranging from ages 8mo to 5 years. I am a former Austin preschool teacher as well as an infant care provider and have clients I've nannied for for over six years and it's been one of the greatest privileges of my life to be such an important part of these kiddos' journeys. My passion for early childhood development with practiced empathetic communication and lessons in conscious discipline helps me be the best caretaker I can be~
Miriam is an exceptional caregiver, and we were so lucky to have her care for our child from ages 12-18 months. She exudes warmth, empathy, and kindness, and she built a very special relationship with our child that we'll always cherish. She taught them so much, like language skills (in English, ASL, and Spanish), emotional regulation, social skills, and more. She was great at managing all parts of a toddler's daily routine, from meals to naps to play. She focused on the child's safety while also bringing joy and fun to every day. Miriam was a calm, confident presence in our household, and I always knew my child was in the best hands while I went to work. She has a natural ability to connect with children and meet them where they're at, all while maintaining boundaries and guiding them to be their best selves. She's truly a gem!
