Meet Muriel

  • Early Childhood Special Education Certification

Hello My name is Muriel I have worked with children for 11years, I have plenty of experience working in day cares and with different families. I have a CPR and First aid certification, also I have studied some child development classes. I use to nanny for many families but I took some time off to be with my little one now he is older and am ready to work full time or part time. I do have plenty of references and recommendation letters if needed. Well a little bit about me I believe when taking care of children they need attention love and plenty of imagination and fun activities so usually with me its about having a good time and following the rules the parents have left for us and safety, since that is what I instill in my own child and if someone took care of my own child Read more I would want that person to treat him with love, be sweet to him and have fun with him while still following the rules. Well I hope that explained a little bit about myself, if you want to get in contact with me just leave me a message and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.

We needed a last minute caregiver to care for our special needs teenager for a week and I could not have been more pleased with her professionalism and attention to safety and care. My daughter loved her! Muriel was always prompt, courteous, and my daughter rushed out of bed each morning to meet her at the door. Muriel is fantastic at creating entertaining days for children, whether that be visiting parks, visiting museums, or water parks. I wish we needed her more long term, as she is fantastic! Highly recommend!!

Muriel is amazing, definitely like having your sister keep your kid, she’s so sweet and gentle with my daughter yet so thorough and precise in her communication with me. Definitely going to be using her often!

Muriel is wonderful. She is responsive, reliable, attentive, good with kids, customer service oriented, and flexible. We asked her to babysit our two boys in elementary school on a Saturday night just one time. It was our first time having a babysitter, so I wasn’t really familiar with the process and kids were a bit nervous to have a stranger. But she made the whole thing easy and enjoyable! She kept the kids happy and the parents posted and at ease. She did more than what we asked for beyond our expectation. It was great to have her.

Muriel was amazing and we will definitely be using her again. We had a last minute cancellation for the sitter we secured elsewhere and Muriel was so accommodating. She was responsive, timely and my daughter loved her. Muriel was very attentive and loving and even sent pictures and locations for all of the fun things they did throughout the day to keep me updated and even straightened up my home when the sitting was over. She’s AMAZING & I’m so glad I found her, I’m almost hesitant to share such a great review in fear that she’ll become too busy and booked for us :-)
