My name is Michele. I graduated with my BS in Human Development with a focus in Early Childhood Education and a specialty of Teaching Young Children with Special Needs. I have taught infants to preschool age children, with my last educational position as a Lead Teacher in an Infant/Toddler room for Dartmouth College in Hanover, NH. I am a mother of 3 adult children (31, 29 & 23). I am currently employed as a full-time Nanny to a 4-year-old and a 13-month-old here in Portland, OR. PLEASE NOTE: I am looking for positions in the SW Hills, NW Hills/Nob Hill, or Pearl. I will be available Sept of '26. ADDITIONAL SKILLS: Integrative Wellness Stylist with over 15 years in practice. I have a background as a Personal Chef with a focus on Whole Foods. I am excellent at true home keeping for daily, clutter-free upkeep (all separate from Nanny position). I am well traveled, enjoy being physically active, I dabble in watercolor art, and enjoy exploring our wonderful city, and PNW in general.
Michele has been the most amazing addition to our family. She came to us in a time when we were in need and she has 100% fulfilled all of my expectations and greatly surpassed them. My children instantly fell in love with her and so did we. On most days my children ask when it is going to be a Chele day instead of a Mommy and Daddy day. Chele is nurturing, enriching, respectful and fun with our children and we often just sit and talk together ourselves. Not only has she fostered the growth of my children mentally, she has also filled their bellies with delicious food. We utilize her private chef services on top of our childcare needs and are constantly amazed at her talent in the kitchen as well as with the children. We won the jackpot when Chele joined our family and she is truly one of a kind provider and friend. We love her!
