About Michala

Experience: 10 yrs

Hi, I'm Micha'la! I'm a recent college graduate and currently work full time as an Executive Assistant at an investment firm here in Chicago. I'm still finding my place in the big city, but one thing that's never changed is my love for caring for others and creating calm, trusting environments. I have two years of nanny experience in the Chicago suburbs, coached K-3rd grade basketball through my park district, and even founded a youth mentorship program in Lexington, KY called Yara. Those experiences taught me the importance of patience, communication, and leading with kindness. Values I try to bring into every space I'm part of. When I'm not working, you can usually find me exploring new corners of the city, cooking something comforting, or hanging out with my Labradoodle. Families can count on me to be dependable, positive, and genuinely invested in providing thoughtful care.

I hired Michala to take care of my son where needed for the past 2 years, and she’s just done a phenomenal job with him. She’s the only person he likes, which is a huge plus. But even regardless, Michala follows instructions to a T and gives my son a regulated schedule. It’s refreshing to have someone so loving and responsible around.
