About Michelle

Michelle is an incredible nanny, the kind you meet once in a lifetime and feel so lucky that your family learned and grew under her love and care. She is incredibly efficient and full of energy, doing more each day than you could ever have imagined, from doing enrichment activities with our kids to keeping the house in tip top shape and even prepping amazing meals. She is joyous and brings that joy to her work, and has shared that with our kids. Michelle was with us during the delicate transition from one to two children. We had a 3.5 year old and a newborn. She joined us a few months before our second child was born and she beautifully prepared our toddler for the transition. One small example: while we were at the hospital she made a checklist with our toddler of all the activities each day that he could check off before Mama and Dada and baby came home from the hospital. They also drew a map of our city and drew our house and the hospital and played on it with his toy cars. These activities gave our toddler excitement and agency during an uncertain time. Michelle is an absolute expert at newborns, infants, and toddlers (rare to find someone so good with all ages). She knows all the stages of infant and toddler development and gently exposed our children to new topics and skills that were engaging for them and important for their growth. She wove learning into everyday tasks in such a playful way that our toddler absolutely loved learning with her always. She has tons of techniques on how to effectively do transitions with toddlers, like how to get out the door to school each morning smoothly. For our infant, Michelle constantly talked with him and made sure he was hearing words and being read to. To top it off, she loves singing and has a beautiful voice and would always be singing to our baby and with our toddler! She also took the initiative to find activities to do with our baby (like finding the absolute best story times in our area) and also activity that we might want to do with our kids (like ping us if a concert was coming up). We are so lucky to have worked with Michelle and treasure our time together.
