Hello, My name is Michaela and I am a Mom with 11 years of childcare experience. I am someone that is punctual, transparent, prioritizes safety, maximizes fun, and always with reliable transportation. I take pride in creating an environment filled with learning, laughter, and warmth whether that is within my home or yours. As a nanny and a Mom, I enjoy exploring the outdoors or new local parks, encouraging imaginative play, and engaging children through educative play, games or Montessori style activities. I am comfortable with pets (love them actually), a non-smoker, and CPR certified. A little background; I started babysitting at 14yrs old and then was a full time nanny or long term sitter for multiple different families over the years. My experience ranges from caring for 1-6 children at a time with ages ranging from newborn infant to twelve years old. I also have twin experience! When not Read more working in childcare, I can be found supporting women through pregnancy, birth, and postpartum as a doula and childbirth educator. If you feel I am the right nanny of your family and would like to chat more, please reach out. I look forward to speaking with you!

Michaela watched my two kids for a date night and it was a wonderful experience. She is super patient with kids, very detail-oriented, and has a really open and clear communication style. 5 stars from the kids and from the parents too. I highly recommend Michaela for your babysitting needs.
