About Michele

I have been babysitting off and on in the greater Durham area for over 10 years, and have local referrals, including current families. I like being able to make it possible for parents to get their stuff done so they can save their best energy for quality time with their kids. I enjoy families that like laughter and playing and who provide enough structure for everyone to know what kind of behavior is expected. I'm familiar with indoor play centers and like hanging out with kids at places like the Museum of Life and Science. Key food prepping, dishwasher-loading/unloading, and sorting the library books from the house-books are some of the routine activities I've found really help keep a household running. Over the pandemic I downshifted from full-time to part-time work and decided to no longer commute outside Durham and now work part-time as a receptionist at The Retreat as well as doing sitting/nannying.
