I discovered my passion for children at a young age receiving my first babysitting gig at the age of 13 caring for children 7-9 years of age. I continued to gain experience offering services to 3 other families with children from 3-13 years old before joining the Pump It Up team where I worked directly with all ages from toddler to preteen including special needs children and those with physical disabilities. I gained the skills to not only capture the attention of children but entertain and educate them. I also have one-on-one experience with infants caring for them on a daily basis. I look forward to furthering my child care abilities and utilizing the trades I have gathered in my years of providing child services.

Michelle babysat our little one for almost 3 months - she was the best! Very caring, always on time, so attentive, I could go on and on.
We miss her dearly.

Michelle has been so wonderful to our family and young daughter.  I was very nervous to have somebody care for our daughter outside of her family, but her professional behavior and knowledge of children made me feel comfortable.

I was so nervous about the idea of leaving our children with a new babysitter for the first time in a strange place but I'm so glad we found Michelle! She watched our 2 1/2 year old and 5 month old not once but twice for date nights while we were vacationing in Honolulu! She kept the boys entertained in our hotel room, fed them dinner and was even able to get them to sleep for bed time! 

Michelle far exceeded my expectations in every realm. Hiring a complete stranger for my first child off Care.com is difficult, especially since I am a law enforcement officer who specializes in crimes against children. What sets her apart is she is mature beyond her years, has a great deal of experience, is street smart, polite, and very professional. In some ways she was more attentive than I am and pointed out numerous safety issues and developmental observations about my infant. I actually learned important things from her. She passed all background checks (credit, vehicle, criminal, employment). She was never late. My baby, who has special medical needs, took to her immediately. I loved how she wore my baby all the time and let him sleep while wearing him (she taught me how to use a baby carrier). I was pleased to see her perform a safety check before starting her shift. She thought of innovative ways to get my baby to take a bottle. Her problem solving skills are excellent. She is honest, demonstrated when I witnessed her inform a caregiver that she had been grossly overpaid! Thank you, Michelle, for helping me transition back to work! I am happy to provide a reference to anyone considering hiring her. Michelle worked for me every day for 2 months. I no longer employ her only because a family member moved here to care for my baby. Otherwise she would have been my nanny for the next three years. 

My kids loved her--within a few minutes of meeting her, I was literally being pushed out the door by my four-year-old. She took great care of them and they had a lot of fun with her.

She is such a sweet girl!  My son loved playing with her.  She was on time and very professional.  She has a lovely personality and you can clearly see her enthusiasm for children.  I am looking forward to her sitting for us again in the near future.

She was so good with my child, my daughter would keep asking to go see her. I loved having her around my child, she was an excellent sitter.

Always on time, dressed professional and the kids love her!

When I met Michelle it was to interview her for a position and I hired her halfway through her interview because of her great people skills. I was blown away once I had her out on the floor as an employee. She connected with all the children very quickly making her successful in keeping them safe while still showing them a good time. She also showed exceptional punctuality and professionalism throughout her time as my employee. I highly recommend her.

I wish we could hire her full time. She was amazing with the kids. Kept up our crazy house while dealing with our baby & pre-schooler.  Michelle is sweet, yet firm when it was called for. She surpassed our expectations.
