Hello! My name is Michelle, I am 25 years old, and I recently moved to Hales Corners, WI from Buffalo Grove, IL. I received my associate's degree from the College of Lake County in Illinois while taking care of an 11- and 4-year-old sisters regularly. Kayla and Asha were the first girls I was paid to take care of, and I formed a great bond with both of them throughout the 2018-2019 school year. Then, in between employment, I worked with two families from January to September of 2025. I assisted a family in the mornings who has an 11-year-old with autism and a 13-year-old, and a family in the afternoons with three kids ages 4-10. In the mornings, I helped the kids get to school and then focused on errands and tasks around the house. In the afternoon, I helped the kids come home from school, go to and Read more from activities, and also helped around the house as needed. I have also taught online English classes for the past four years, and during my senior year of high school, I was in Brazil through the Rotary Youth Exchange Program. I received my bachelor’s degree in criminology and psychology from the University of Iowa in 2022. I am currently starting a new job as a Legal Assistant and completing online coursework for a graduate certificate in public policy. I have great communication and management skills, while being clean and friendly. I would love this opportunity to save money and, more importantly, to form a safe and nurturing bond with my employers and their child/children. I will also have my own car for transportation to school, sports, and other activities your child/children are involved in. Children have always loved my interest in music, my humor, and especially my talent for hula hooping. Message me on here or you can contact me at (847) 804-3953.
