About Michell

Experience: 10 yrs

Hello! My name is Michell, and I've dedicated over 10 years to caring for children, from newborns (2 days old) to 17-year-olds. My experience as a nanny/babysitter has allowed me to support children through all their developmental stages. I offer more than just childcare; I bring passion, patience, and a deep understanding of child development. I provide homeschooling support for all ages, with an approach centered on empathy, emotional intelligence, creativity, and respect. I believe in connecting with children individually, actively listening to them, and fostering their natural curiosity, imagination, and self-expression. My caregiving approach combines structure with creativity. I encourage learning through play, prioritize emotional well-being, and instill values like kindness towards animals and environment. I am committed to treating every child with kindness and encouragement they deserve. My goal is to ensure children feel safe, heard, and loved throughout their journey.

Michell took care of our two kids for 5+ years, through when they were 8 and 11 years old. She is truly gifted, a genius with children, making every minute of every day fun - games, reading, art, super creative activities for math, science, outings and adventures. When covid hit, she work with them via Zoom for months and kept it fun, loving, and enriching during an incredibly difficult time - that's how creative and talented she is deeply and authentically connecting with kids. She was also an incredible role model of how to be true to yourself, responsible, caring, patient with yourself and life's challenges. I can't say enough about my profound admiration for Michell and gratitude for her role in raising our kids. They still treasure having her in their lives.
