About Michelle

I am passionate about nurturing a child's curiosity and watching them reach new milestones. With years of paid babysitting experience as a teen, and a decade of experience providing regular (multiple days a week) care for my nephew, I provide patient, calm, and creative care for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. My approach balances imaginative play with educational games, and I love organizing outdoor sports to keep children active. I hold a Ph. D in communication and understand the uniqueness of how each person communicates with others. This informs my commitment to fostering healthy development. I am fully prepared for any situation with prior Lifeguard/CPR/First Aid training. I am very comfortable enforcing your household rules and am happy to assist with light housekeeping or pet care. I prioritize your preferences for communication, whether through daily verbal updates or quick texts. My goal is to make a positive, lasting impact on your family's life.
