Meet Michelle

Hello! I’d love the opportunity to support families with their childcare needs while spending meaningful, enjoyable time with children through occasional babysitting. A little about me: I work full-time as a project coordinator at a local cancer research organization, so I’m generally available on some weekday evenings and weekends. I am CPR/BLS certified and have approximately 15 years of babysitting and nannying experience with children ranging from 2 months to 16 years old. As the eldest sibling of two younger children, much of my experience also comes from helping care for them over the years. I enjoy cooking (and can accommodate specific dietary needs), cycling, arts and crafts, and outdoor activities. I am a STEM graduate from the UW (go huskies!) and speak conversational Spanish. I’m also happy to assist with homework when needed. I strongly value quality time and believe it goes hand in hand with quality care. I Read more limit screen time unless otherwise requested by parents and prefer engaging activities such as outdoor play (weather and permission permitting), arts and crafts, reading, imaginative play, and other creative activities. I’m comfortable with nighttime routines, active listening, and infant care. Please feel free to reach out with any questions - I’m always happy to connect with parents ahead of time and can offer phone screenings as well. I look forward to the possibility of working with your family!
