Meet Michelle

Hi! I’m Michelle, a 23-year-old Active Duty service member with several years of experience working with children in both professional and family settings. Before joining the military, I spent three years working as a lifeguard and two years as a waterpark supervisor, where safety, responsibility, and staying calm in unexpected situations were an important part of my everyday work. I also worked as a swim instructor with children ranging from infants to 18 years old. For two years, I primarily worked with infants, toddlers, and young children ages 0–5, which gave me plenty of experience keeping little ones safe, comfortable, engaged, and entertained. I also have additional childcare experience caring for children of family members and friends. I’ve been serving on Active Duty for a little over a year, which has strengthened my reliability, professionalism, time management, and ability to adapt to changing situations. I’m happy to help with more Read more than just childcare! Depending on your family’s needs, I can assist with: * Transportation and errands * Meal preparation and cooking * Light cleaning and household duties * Homework and academics * Age-appropriate activities and play * General routines and supervision I would describe myself as caring, dependable, professional, organized, and clean. I understand how important it is for parents to have someone they can trust with both their children and their home, so I take that responsibility seriously while still making sure kids feel comfortable and have fun. My schedule is generally flexible after 4 PM on weekdays, and I have open availability on most weekends. Because I am Active Duty, I may occasionally be required to work a scheduled duty day, but I will always communicate those dates as far in advance as possible. I’d love the opportunity to get to know your family and provide dependable, attentive care that fits your needs!
