Hi there! For as long as I can remember, working with children has forever been a part of me. Before covid, I was a special needs swim instructor for 4 years and this was the beginning of my journey. Since then, I have been a nanny for 3 families - each had a year contract. I am experienced in infant care as well as special needs, multiples, and twins. I used to be a lifeguard trainer so I have knowledge in cpr and first aid and I am certified. I recently became a person trainer and have proof of CPR certification upon request. I have scored “expert” in early childhood development assessments. Lastly, I am a kid at heart, so I’ll love any opportunity to help a family that I can be a part of :)

Micaela was so wonderful watching our little guy, we would highly recommend her! She was very responsive to messages and her communications up front were so reassuring that we were confident in booking her to watch our son for a date night out. She was on time and very professional, while being so sweet to our shy little guy once she arrived. You can tell she cares for kids a lot so would definitely book her again.
