Birthday: November 5th
Hometown: Orlando, FL
Favorite Crayola color: Cornflower
Background: I have worked with kids since 2014, babysitting and working as a dance teacher. I have gained experience with children of all ages and have learned so much from each child I care for. The kids and families hold such a special place in my heart. Outside of being a dance teacher I have volunteered as a camp counselor for Vacation Bible School at my local church working specifically with special needs kids. I have a reliable car and would be happy to help with pick-ups and drop-offs from school. While I babysit I love to make up fun dances, sing songs, and engage in fun and safe activities with the kids. I am so excited to start babysitting with Seminole Sitters and cannot wait to meet all the amazing kids and families.
On her own, she’s cared for children as young as: 5 months old (for a few hours), though most of my experience is with children 2+ years old
Future plans: My dream is to merge my two passions together and implement what I have learned while working with children into my future career. I am currently a Freshman at Florida State University hoping to one day work with kids in the field of Occupational Therapy or Child Psychology.
When she's not babysitting: I love to hang out with my friends, dance, and listen to music!

“Mia is a true treasure. She is intelligent, takes initiative, works hard, loves working with children of all ages and woukd certainly be an asset to your program. She understands structure and knows how to plan a fun, safe environment for children to be grow and be challenged. My students loved ‘Miss Mia!’ Whenever she is able to return to the dance studio for a visit, the students get so excited to see her! She can handle herself in any situation in a calm manner. She knows that anywhere the children are, safety is key! I cannot say enough positive things about this young lady!”
“Mia is excellent around children. She fosters a nurturing atmosphere, and has incredible patience. She has the ability to personalize her interactions with various age levels and adapt to various communication styles. She is a dedicated team player who will go above and beyond for children. Mia is calm and steady but also exudes fun. I 100% trust her ability to watch children, make smart decisions, and act responsibly in all situations.”
“Mia is super friendly and very responsible. She was very attentive to my kids’ needs and wants and will play with them and engage with them the whole time. She was sure to include everybody and always had an agenda for that when she came over. I like it when my babysitters will take them out of the house go to the playground etc. and she exceeded my expectations.”
“Mia is very polite and kind person. Always happy to help out. My son enjoyed doing activities with her and couldn’t wait to be babysat again. She was always punctual and reliable.”
