"Mimi has the perfect combination of what you look for in someone to take care of your kids and help them grow. She is confident, with a “Whatever it is, I got this” vibe. She's also caring, able to comfort a kiddo after a scrape or tumble while also understanding what they are going through. She's organized, proactive, and on top of things, but also laid back enough to be a calming, steadying, and patient presence when it's time to get the kids out the door or work out a dispute. She knows her stuff and can engage the kids in enriching activities but can also just be silly and imagine new worlds with them. Mimi was a tremendous part of our family and we recommend her without hesitation and with the highest possible endorsement."

"Mimi built great relationships with both my daughters while caring for them over a period of 4 years. Now at 15 and 18 years old, they still refer to Mimi as the best babysitter ever! She always came prepared with activities linked to my girls' interests, which meant lots of craft projects and dance shows. That being said, she was just as comfortable taking them rock climbing or swimming. She handles it all -- babysitting, driving, overnight stays. Mimi is a rockstar!"

"Mimi has been our full time nanny since the beginning of this year caring for our son since he was 9 months old. She is truly wonderful — reliable, caring, patient, thoughtful and energetic! She is extremely crafty and has created numerous art projects with our son which now hang throughout our house. She also does many sensory activities and even brought her own books to share with our boy. She’s constantly talking to our son and has taught him so many things. Mimi also takes him outside to the playground to meet other kids. We can’t say enough positive things about Mimi!

"Mimi worked as a summer nanny to our two neuro-divergent children (ages 12 and 8–one with behavioral outbursts). We found her to be calm, reliable, and incredibly capable. So much so that we didn’t worry about leaving our children with her when we went on a 2-day trip this past fall (believe me, feeling worry-free about child care doesn’t come easy for me!) Mimi has a way of connecting with, and motivating children. She makes activities fun for the kids but she is also able to keep them on task and get chores done. I remember seeing a behavioral chart that she created for our child and feeling so grateful. I never asked her to do this but she proactively used her skills as a special-ed teacher to meet our child exactly where they were at. I only wish I could entice her away from her current nanny position so that she can be our nanny again this summer!"

Mimi is amazing!! She has worked with our kiddos for 3 years. Our kids are now 13 and 17. Mimi has taken them to area parks, lakes, museums, Valleyfair, MOA, restaurants, picnics. They have gone hiking, swimming, kayaking. Our kids absolutely LOVE Mimi!! She is fun, creative, dependable, responsible and engaging! She is able to connect with kids on their level and also enjoys our furry family members. She is flexible, patient and adaptable. My highest recommendation for Mimi’s services!!!"

Mimi was our summer nanny for my 3 year old daughter and we can’t recommend her enough. Mimi really took the time to get to know my daughter - her likes/dislikes, interests, personality, growth areas - and provided care that was tailored for her every day. She went out of her way to make each day fun, exciting and balanced - it was very clear from the very first day that she really loves working with kids. Really appreciated her patience when my daughter would have her ups and downs. She is communicative, proactive, organized, tidy and respectful. We miss Mimi!

"Mimi was a rockstar. She stepped in to help us with our almost two year old twins for a week in December. Mimi was easy to have in the house while we worked at home and our kids enjoyed their days with her. She made them great lunches, planned fun activities and also got them napping! Mimi is easy to communicate with and I highly recommend her."

"Mimi worked as a summer (2024) nanny for our two neurodiverse children, ages 8 and 6.  She has an ability to work with children that have special needs both from a care provider and as a tutor.  She coordinated a multitude of fun activities for the kids and helped ensure the various “in home” and “out of home” appointments for care were kept in place.  Our children need help in regulating their emotions and Mimi was excellent at working with them to calm down in times of need.  She also tutored our 6-year-old in literacy to help prepare for the upcoming school year.  During their tutoring sessions, Mimi used tailored approaches to help our child accelerate their journey into literacy.  When we went to the 1st grade onsite assessment our child stated, “I can’t wait to show everyone that I can read”.  We were so proud to see our child be confident in their abilities and excitement for school.  Our children made significant connections with her and made it an unforgettable summer."

"We have absolutely loved having Mimi watch our 8 year old son and would definitely recommend her to anyone! She is wonderful to work with throughout the whole process from initial interview conversations to the amazing direct care she provides. She engages deeply in play with our son and he has a wonderful time with her. She is also very responsible and keeps things tidy while providing such a high level of care. Mimi would be a great fit for any family with her relaxed, yet up for anything demeanor. We can’t recommend her enough!"

"Mimi was so incredibly helpful in creating a custom social story for my child with Autism to help us navigate a big life change in the family. My kid loved seeing their own face and family in the story and still asks to read it! Thank you Mimi, this is such an incredible skill to offer!"

“Mimi has tutored my now 8 year old non-binary child! She is incredibly attentive and provided her own curriculum and materials to help my child catch up in math and reading. Mimi is able to curate her teaching style to match my child’s specific needs for keeping their attention and making progress with what she is teaching them. Additionally, my kid loves to just hangout and spend time with them. My kid loves Mimi and I always feel safe and at ease when she is caring for them. She gets down on their level and participated in imaginary play, and always has arts and crafts ready to go. Mimi always goes the extra mile to make sure my kid is entertained and having fun.”

“Mimi provided care for our daughter from the ages of 9-12 months while my husband and I worked from home. She is caring, punctual, and a great communicator. Our daughter (and dogs) took to her immediately! Mimi exceeded our expectations with understanding our parenting style and seamlessly fitting into our chaos of having two work-from-home parents, two dogs, and an infant. We knew our daughter was in the best of hands. Mimi went above and beyond to bring books, do age-appropriate activities, and get outside whenever possible- she even made our daughter the sweetest gift for her first birthday. I cannot recommend her enough!”
