About Michaela

Hi there! I'm Michaela. I recently just finished my bachelors degree in early childhood/ elementary education from Western Governors University, and I have been caring for children for five years as a nanny and au pair. I am also the oldest of seven siblings. I have a lot of experience working with toddlers and school-age children, and I also spent two years nannying a 12-year-old boy on the autism spectrum. I love taking day trips, doing arts and crafts, beaches, hiking, and doing fun local programs and events. I genuinely love working with young kids, and I approach each child as an individual who I get to help grow and teach. I provide child care in the Montessori manner, emphasizing the individual child and their interests. Nothing makes me happier than running into someone I used to babysit and remembering our fun times together! I can provide references upon request. I'd love to meet you and get to know your family.
