Hello! My name is Michaela, and I'm currently a graduate student in the School Psychology program at the University of Delaware. With over 10 years of childcare experience, I began babysitting at the age of 15 and later worked as a nanny during my undergraduate years. My passion for working with children spans various environments, including daycares, schools, homes, clinics, and camps. I specialize in caring for children between the ages of 2 and 10, and I have extensive experience with diverse needs and abilities. This includes working with children who have developmental disabilities and mental health diagnoses such as autism, ADHD, and anxiety. I have always felt a deep connection with children, which drives my commitment to their well-being and development. I look forward to the opportunity to meet you and your children and provide exceptional care and support!
