Mia worked with our family for a little over a month and was consistently helpful, reliable, and attentive to everything we asked of her. Our 8-month-old daughter had only ever been cared for by my husband and me, and was understandably hesitant with someone new. Mia showed incredible patience and persistence, gently building trust and adapting to our baby’s needs with care and sensitivity. We truly appreciated her calm presence and dedication, and would absolutely welcome her back should we need additional support for our baby and/or toddler in the future.

We have absolutely loved having Kai provide care for our 18-month-old daughter. For the first couple of weeks, our little one was really nervous and cried a bit, but Kai was patient, gentle, and understanding. She allowed our daughter to lead the way and to engage at her pace and her comfort level. It didn’t take long for our daughter to warm up and look forward to Kai’s arrival each morning. I really appreciated Kai’s focus on learning as she was always teaching our daughter new things (ex: letters, sounds, basic sign language), keeping her engaged, and spending lots of time exploring outdoors. Kai has super positive energy, is very attentive, and clearly cares deeply about the kids she looks after. The only reason we’re not continuing with Kai is that my role was recently eliminated and so I’ll be at home with our daughter, otherwise, we’d absolutely keep working with her! We highly recommend Kai to any family looking for someone reliable, caring, and trustworthy to provide care for their child/children. Kerisha

Hello!

Hi! I am Michelle!! I've been working with children for nearly a decade, and it's something I've truly loved from the very beginning. I started as a summer camp counselor at around 16 years old, where I spent every summer leading activities, supervising toddlers and young children, and creating fun, safe environments. Through those summers, I was trusted by many families for babysitting, caring for anywhere from one child to three children of different ages. Since then, my experience has only grown. I recently earned my Master's in Elementary Education and have worked as a preschool teacher, after-school educator, camp counselor, and elementary classroom teacher during my student teaching. Whether it's helping with homework, planning fun activities, reading stories, or simply keeping little ones entertained and safe, I love creating an environment where children feel happy, supported, and excited to learn. I'm CPR and First Aid certified, bilingual in English and Spanish, and believe every child deserves patience, kindness, and encouragement. Families often describe me as dependable, energetic, and easy to communicate with. I enjoy getting kids outside, playing games, doing crafts, exploring their interests, and limiting screen time whenever possible. As an educator, I'm always looking for opportunities to use my skills in meaningful ways, and babysitting is one of my favorite ways to do that. I understand that trusting someone with your children is a big decision, and I strive to make both kids and parents feel comfortable, confident, and cared for from day one. I look forward to meeting your family! 😊
