About Michelle
Experience: 10 yrs
COVID-19 vaccinated
Hello, my name is Michelle and this is my tenth year taking care of children. What started as babysitting on date nights for some of my high school teachers has blossomed into a decade of caring for children for several families across the state of Rhode Island. From after-school pick up, full-time nannying, and weekend date nights, I have looked after children of all ages and multitudes. I have experience with newborns, toddlers, school-age children, and pre-teens, as well as experience with children who have special needs, twins and families consisting of three or more children. I am trained in CPR as well as First-Aid, and I am also a doula certified by Carriage House Birth. I have kept relationships with every family I have worked for throughout the years and they have provided letters of recommendation that I would love to share with you. I am looking to help families care for their children, their pets, and their home.

It is with great pleasure that we recommend Michelle F. as a caregiver. She watched our one-year-old son frequently from 2018 onward. Michelle is always punctual, responsive to calls and text messages &wonderfully engaging with our toddler. She is intelligent, warm and has a myriad of experience with children of all ages & personalities. She follows directions to the letter (i.e. bedtimes, snacks, TV, etc.) and clearly takes much pride in the way she conducts herself and in the quality of care she provides. In addition, our son has a food allergy. Because of this health complication my husband and I have always been very hesitant to leave him in someone else's care. Michelle is a very sharp, intuitive and vigilant person and we always felt completely at ease walking out the door with her in charge. Most importantly, Michelle seems to truly enjoy all of the time she spends with a child. We trust her alone in our home and we trust her with our most precious treasure - our child.
