About Michelle

Experience: 10 yrs

I have had experience with children for the past 12 years and even before that. I have worked as a daycare teacher for children 2-11 since I was 16. I have babysat ages newborn up through pre-teens since I was 14. One summer I was a nanny for 3 girls ages 6, 7, and 8. I was also a nanny last fall for two babies ages 5 months and 7 months. I also have experience working with children and teenagers in my church youth group. I have taken many occasional positions on this site as well as care. com and have built positive relationships with the families I have worked with. Most recently, I served as a part-time nanny/big sister for a 5-year-old girl who became like a little sister to me. Unfortunately, we moved to Frederick so I had to leave that position. I have also been a Children's Director at a Baptist church for 1. 5 years, where I was in charge of ministries for children aged newborn-middle school. I have 2 younger sisters who were born when I was 10 and 12 and I have helped raise them, so I've been practicing with children since the age of 10. I have worked as an intern at a school, working with children with ADHD and learning disorders. I have also worked as a counselor at a family counseling center as well as the health department, where I worked with children with different learning disorders as well as emotional and behavioral issues. I have worked with several children on the autism spectrum. I really have a heart for children and I love to work with them in any capacity I can. I love working with children because they have an innocence and joy about them that you can't quite find anywhere else. This is just the tip of the iceberg of my experience with children. I have a graduate degree in counseling, but want to take a break from that to do something I really enjoy, such as working with children. I just had my own little one born November 13, 2013 and I am so in love with him! My husband is a pastor and we are looking to bring in a little extra income, so I am looking for part-time work doing what I love. I am fun and easy to get along with and will be an active and positive babysitter for your children. I get along really easily with children and enjoy playing games with them and spending time with them. I would be interested in any ages and also in working with children with special needs, as I have a lot of additional experience working with special needs children. I can explain that experience upon request.
