About Michelle

Hi families! My name is Michelle, and I'm a 24-year-old educator returning to the Oak Park area after spending the past two years teaching preschool in Columbia, Missouri. I have a degree in Human Development and Family Science from the University of Missouri, with a focus on Child Development and Education. I've been working at a nature-based, Reggio Emilia inspired preschool, where I've gained hands-on experience supporting young children through play-based, child-led learning. I love creating environments where kids feel safe, curious, and excited to explore the world around them. I grew up in Oak Park and recently made the decision to move back to be closer to family. I'm currently looking for a full-time nanny position (Monday-Friday, 7 AM-5 PM). A little about my approach: • Warm, patient, and nurturing • Big believer in outdoor play and creativity • Focused on developmental milestones and emotional growth • Organized, reliable, and communicative with parents
