About Michelle

Experience: 10 yrs

COVID-19 vaccinated

Hello there, my name is Michelle. I'm an experienced Nanny, PreK teacher and babysitter with almost 20 years experience. I love to do art, science, reading and cooking projects with kids; enjoy day trips to local parks, libraries, learning centers, hiking trails etc and I'm a big believer in children having fun, tactile experiences, teachable moments and creating built associations- because when theyre doing this by having fun, they're learning so much more than by paperwork/flash cards and rote memorization. I also promote many different social and emotional skills ranging from emotion identification, problem solving with words, independence and life skills as well as helping children see that the world is a wonderfully unique and different place, and above all kindness and their actions and responsibilities matter.

Michelle is an absolute nanny & babysitting superstar!!! We have two kids, an 11 year old son and an 8 year old daughter. Michelle has been babysitting them since they were 7 and 4 years old and we like to call her our "kid whisperer." Although our kids are vastly different from one another, she connects with both of them beautifully. She is prompt, responsible, conscientious, trustworthy and incredibly skilled in her knowledge of children and care taking abilities. Michelle goes above and beyond to make sure both kids know she cares and that she cares enough to set the necessary structure and limits when needed. I would recommend her without hesitation.
