"Michelle has been babysitting my two boys (6 and 4) for several years and I can’t recommend her more highly. She is reliable, creative, responsible, and kind. I trust her completely with my kids. We met her through our daycare where she was a favorite teacher and we regularly hire her to babysit on nights and weekends. If you’re looking for someone who will take care of your kids like they’re her own, who will take an interest in the things they love, and who you can completely rely on, Michelle is the nanny/sitter you’ve been looking for!"

"Michelle is wonderful, she is like family to us! Michelle started working with us in 2021 when our youngest was still in preschool, and we needed almost full time childcare. Even after both kids started school, she helped us out often with before and after school care. She still helps us when we need weekend and evening childcare. Michelle is so caring, and our kids adore her, they always have fun hanging out with her. She is always willing to do anything the kids like to do to keep them entertained: crafts, swim, sports, movies, etc. If you also need the extras done like kids’ laundry, transportation to and from activities, and also cleans up when watching the kids, Michelle does an excellent job at all of those tasks as well. We have absolutely no hesitation with trusting Michelle with our children!"

"Our family first met Michelle as our youngest child’s daycare teacher. I knew right away that she was going to be a great fit. She was and still is attentive to my son’s needs, organized, playful and trustworthy. Once my son was no longer in daycare (as of Sept 2025) , we have hired her as a babysitter in our home. Both my sons enjoy her being their sitter. My friends and I even hired her on NYE to watch our total of 6 children. She did that with ease , as they were all the same ages and she is seasoned in that area. My son continues to learn and grow from Michelle when she is around. I continue to hire her to this day when we need a sitter. Thanks Michelle for all you do !"

"Michelle has been a part of our family's lives for about 4 years. In that time we've had her as both a teacher, babysitter and in house stay care for pets. She is a stellar, warm, kind and professional person who will take care of your kids (and pets) as her own. She has guided our kid through major life transitions (potty training!) and teaching him what he needs to be prepared for next schooling. She listens to parent feedback and is always very communicative, even sending pictures! We cannot say enough good things or thank her enough for her care and skill!"

"We met Michelle 5 years ago when she was our son’s 3-year-old teacher at daycare, and we were lucky enough to later have her teach our daughter as well. As a teacher, Michelle is structured, organized, and always comes up with the best activities and crafts for the children. Now that our children are school-aged, she babysits for us occasionally, and they are always excited to spend time with her. Michelle is dependable, caring, and truly amazing with kids. From the moment she walks in, our children are excited to see her. She is patient, engaging, and keeps them entertained with fun activities while also maintaining structure and routines. We always feel completely comfortable leaving our children in her care because she is responsible, communicative, and attentive to their needs. It is clear that she genuinely cares about the children she watches. I would highly recommend Michelle to any family looking for a trustworthy, kind, and dependable babysitter."
