Hi, my name is Mia! I have worked with children both here in the USA and in different countries in Europe. I have also worked in different resorts around the area with guests who come on vacation with their children. I've been hired for weddings, birthday parties, reunions, etc. and feel comfortable with multiple children at one time. I'm CPR and First Aid Certified for infants, toddlers, and adults. I've also completed many trainings and seminars, which will help me when caring for your child(ren). I'm caring, honest, gentle, and reliable. I have my own car for transportation. I'm attentive, so please feel confident your child(ren) will be safe in my care. I love animals, therefore, if you have pets, it's not a problem. I look forward to meeting your family!-Mia

Mia was excellent with our two boys (2 yr old and newborn). Within minutes of arriving, Mia calmed our baby and was playing with our oldest son. Our oldest son couldn't stop talking about how much fun he had with her the rest of the weekend. I couldn't recommend Mia enough.

Mia sat for our 3 boys (4,4, and 6) when while we were in town for my brother's wedding. She was punctual, and could deal through out chaotic wedding schedule. She did a great job entertaining our boys, feeding them, and putting them to bed. She was flexible when we were running a few minutes late. And we felt that our boys were safe in her hands. Highly recommend!

Mia watched our 3 boys for one evening while we were in town for a wedding, and everything went great. She arrived on time, was polite and professional, and our children thoroughly enjoyed their time with her. We had a great experience with Mia and would recommend her as a babysitter.

It was great and easy having Mia babysit for us while visiting Santa Barbara, CA over New Years. We have a 7 year old and Mia came right to our hotel and worked out great. She was very responsive when setting up the job even when we realized we put in the times a little wrong and asked her to work even a little later on New Years eve. She was very friendly, asked questions about meals & bedtime routine and wasn't even bothered when we said it was New Years Eve so they could do whatever they wanted and my child had a great time with her. Thank you Mia!

We hired Mia to watch my son (3), niece (3), and nephew (7) for the day while we were vacationing in Los Olivos. She did an excellent job handling all three children and they were all calm and smiling when we returned at the end of the day. I would highly recommend Mia to anyone looking for a babysitter.

We hired Mia for a few nights whilst staying in Solvang. She was on time, really positive and helpful and made us very confident leaving our children with a stranger. I would have no hesitation in recommending her or hiring her again in the future.

Mia babysat for our 2 and 4 year old over Labor Day Weekend and she was fantastic. We were lucky that we planned ahead and were able to book her about a month in advance. She was really wonderful with the kids and bonded with them immediately. We trusted her to take the kids around Solvang while we were at a wedding and she managed to get both kids to sleep in the standard sized hotel room where we were staying. I would recommend Mia to any parents looking for a sitter in the area (if she's available)!

Mia babysat for our 3 kids; ages 1, 4, & 5. Mia showed up right on time and was courteous and kind. The kids had a great time having a picnic in the backyard. We'd be happy to have Mia sit for us again and would recommend her.

My sister and I hired Mia to watch our two kids (ages 2 and 3) during a family wedding (both for the rehearsal dinner and wedding reception). She was on time and immediately put the kids at ease. She was able to get both kids down to sleep, despite the fact that they were off schedule from traveling / changing time zones. In the morning, the kids were asking for her and they were so excited to see her for the second evening. I would highly recommend Mia to any family looking for a sitter.

What a relief to find Mia to be one of the two babysitters for the 'kid tent' at our wedding! She was totally great, responsible, friendly, prompt, and of course great with the kids! Wish I hadn't have been so busy, I would have hung out in the kid tent, too! Thanks, Mia!

My family and I were in Solvang for a wedding and needed a babysitter for 4 kids age 5 to 11. We hired Mia through Sittercity and were extremely satisfied: she came 5 minutes early to get to know the kids and parents; right away, she interacted with the kids by playing card games with them; when we got home, they were all playing board games, and after Mia left, I asked the kids how it was and they all said that it was a blast. They played outside for most of the time and when they were inside, they never played on their ipads or iphones like they do usually. So overall, we were very happy with Mia and would definitely recommend her for children of any age.

Mia is the perfect babysitter. She is always on time. She is responsible, fun, and the kids loved her. She was happy to take my kids to appointments or on walks. I recommend her very highly.

Mia has been a blessing to my family. Whenever I had to go out of town for days at a time, I could rest assured knowing she would care for my puppy, Autumn, like she does her own sweet dog, Pixie. Mia also eliminates your worries by sending daily pictures/updates. She will do her best to work with your schedule and keep you informed. I recommend her excellent care to all my friends on the central coast!

We've been hiring Mia for date night babysitting now for about 5 months and she's fantastic! She is always on time or early. The single time she's been late she texted to let me know. Definitely very professional. Importantly, our 2-year-old loves her and often asks where Mia is. We feel totally secure leaving our daughter with Mia and are so happy to have found her!

Just wanted to write a note to thank Mia and let everyone know what a treat it was having her babysit for us while visiting Santa Barbara, CA. We have a 4.5yr old and a 3yr old and Mia handled the job with ease. She babysat several times both day & night during our trip. She was very responsive when setting up the job, she was always on time even though she drove at least an hour to Santa Barbara from her home town. She jumped right in helping out upon arrival. She was very friendly, asked questions about meals & bedtime routine and kept our children happy & safe while we enjoyed some adult time out. I highly recommend her to others in the area or needing help while visiting the area. Thank you Mia!
