I have both paid and volunteer childcare experience, along with an Advanced Childcare Training Certificate earned in April 2025. My hands-on experience includes working as a Summer Camp Counselor and Aftercare Aide at Annapolis Area Christian School, where I provided attentive and compassionate care to children of various age groups. As a Summer Camp Counselor (June 2023 – June 2024), I was responsible for planning and facilitating engaging, age-appropriate activities, fostering teamwork, and maintaining a safe and supportive environment for all campers. In my role as an Aftercare Aide (February 2023 – May 2023), I assisted children with homework, promoted emotional and social development, ensured a clean and organized play space, and maintained open communication with parents regarding their child’s day-to-day progress.These roles, paired with my formal childcare training, have strengthened my ability to be a dependable, patient, and nurturing caregiver. A little about me: I’m currently pursuing a Bachelor Read more of Science in Information Technology at UMGC. In addition to my academic goals, I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting their growth. I’m detail-oriented, approachable, and committed to creating positive, enriching experiences for every child in my care.

Michaela has been such a reliable and caring babysitter for us! She’s great with kids. Super patient, attentive, and always makes sure they’re safe and having fun. My little one felt comfortable with her right away, which says a lot. She’s also really easy to communicate with and always shows up on time. I’d definitely recommend her to anyone looking for someone trustworthy and kind to watch their kids!
