Hi there! I am Michelle. I have worked as a babysitter, elder home care assistant, and nanny for 8 years. I am a high energy, kind, fun loving young woman. Additionally, I am fluent in Spanish and love to teach children the language through games, songs, and immersion. Working with children to teach them healthy habits, good communication skills, and manners are some of my strengths. I love getting little ones out into the great outdoors and staying active! I am a huge music lover and completed a small local training in 2018 that focused on music education for toddlers. I absolutely love to share music with little ones, and can attest to the benefits of creative play and song in early development. I have multiple recent references available upon request from my former employers in nannying, babysitting, house management, and housekeeping. I am a trained conflict resolution mediator, trained Read more medic, and American Red Cross certified in CPR and first aid for adults, infants, and children. I take social distancing very seriously and am more than willing to take a COVID test prior to meeting your family to ensure safety, and collaborate on a plan to keep everyone safe and well during these hard times. I am fully vaccinated and boosted, and prefer to work with families who are vaccinated to the fullest extent possible (with regard for age restrictions of course). My 8 years of experience encompass time as a summer live-in nanny for a family of 5 children, full-time household manager for a busy family of 3 children, part time work with 3 separate toddlers between ages 1-3, and full time nannying for a newborn. I have experience with newborns, infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens!
