About Michelle

I'm a compassionate, reliable nanny who believes children thrive when they feel safe, understood, and respected. My approach is rooted in mental-health education, trauma-informed care, and somatic practices. I see behavior as communication and respond with connection, calm boundaries, and emotional coaching rather than punishment. I'm skilled in teaching coping tools like grounding, breathwork, sensory regulation, and problem solving. I create gentle routines that offer structure without rigidity and love supporting creativity, outdoor play, reading, and life skills. Experienced with neurodivergent and anxious children, I collaborate closely with parents to support each child's unique needs. My goal is for every child to feel: I am safe, I am capable, I am cared for.
