Hello! I'm a caring and communicative nanny with several years of experience in homes and different childcare settings. I believe in raising kind, confident kids through connection, patience, and consistency. I take a gentle but structured approach - supporting emotional growth, independence, and creativity while maintaining clear, real-world boundaries. I especially love working with children ages 0-6, incorporating nature, play-based learning, and hands-on activities into our routines. I believe children thrive when they feel safe, respected, and free to be themselves, and I enjoy following their natural curiosity as they learn and grow. Whether we're exploring something new, building fine motor skills through crafts, or working through big feelings, I aim to meet each child where they are and support their development with compassion and intention. I value building strong, trusting relationships and helping families feel supported and at ease.
Ms. Michaela has been, and I can’t stress this enough, a VITAL part of our family since she became our nanny two years ago. My two children, now 5 and 4, truly love her. (My daughter recently lost her first tooth and the first thing she wanted to do was “call LaLa!”). Michaela handles their big feelings with such poise, it’s inspiring. Her wholistic approach to child development is such a comfort - considering everything from sleep habits/quality to nutrition to educational and emotional development. If we could keep her until they’re 18, we would! We are terribly sad to see her go but are so excited to see what life in Richmond has in store for her.
