A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Michelle. I’m a wife, mother of two grown children—a son and daughter—and a proud grandmother of two granddaughters. My children have always been my world, and I bring that same love, patience, and care to every child I look after.

I have experience caring for children in several settings, including providing in-home childcare for five school-aged children, working in a daycare classroom with two-year-olds, and teaching three-year-olds in a church Morning Out program. I have also worked in the school system as a substitute teacher and as one-on-one support when needed.

Caring for children comes naturally to me, and I enjoy creating a safe, nurturing environment where children feel secure and parents feel at ease.

I would be happy to provide references and answer any questions. I look forward to the opportunity to care for your little ones!

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have over 10 years of experience working with children in a variety of settings. I was a substitute teacher for 10 years and also worked one-on-one with several children, many of whom had special needs. In addition, I worked for a couple of years in a church daycare caring for children in the two- and three-year-old classrooms.

I also provided in-home childcare for friends and neighbors, giving them peace of mind knowing their children were in a safe, loving, and familiar environment. Caring for children has always been something I truly enjoy, and I treat every child with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own family.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy a variety of engaging, age appropriate activities with children that support both learning and fun. I love reading picture books aloud and using simple storytelling with puppets to bring stories to life. I also support early learning skills such as letter and number recognition, rhyming games, and practicing writing their name.

Creatively, I enjoy arts and crafts like coloring, finger painting, cutting and gluing, and seasonal projects. I also incorporate hands on learning through puzzles, matching games, counting with blocks, and sensory play.

Music and movement are important as well, including singing nursery rhymes, dancing, playing simple instruments, and games like freeze dance. When possible, I enjoy outdoor play such as playground time, nature walks, bubbles, sidewalk chalk, and ball games.

I also value pretend play and social emotional development through role playing, sharing activities, and helping children express their feelings in positive, age appropriate ways.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I believe the most important part about being a nanny is building a safe, loving, and trusting relationship with the child while supporting their overall development\.

The most important part about being a nanny...

One of my favorite moments was watching a child I cared for gain confidence in reading. After weeks of reading together aknots every day, they proudly read a short picture book to me on their own for the first time. Their excitement and sense of accomplishment was such a rewarding moment for both of us.

Christina K. - Seeking Work in Gastonia

Babysitter Available in Gastonia, NC: Christina K.

My name is Christina Queen Knight and I am a certified foster to adopt mom currently no children in the home. I am 37 years old with 19 years of front office experience in the medical field. I graduated high school from South Point in Belmont NC. I love children because every child I have had the blessings of being around has been so funny, full of personality and no matter how your day is going a child's laughter and smile always makes things better. I had the joy of driving to Wilmington in November of 2023 and bringing a 13 day old newborn back home with me on December 3rd 2023 and she changed my life 100%. Kierra Rose was my first foster child. Her mother never went to a single appointment during her pregnancy and used illegal drugs the entire time. I had Kierra in my care until March 18th 2024 when her parents decided to have her removed since I refused to give them money. I am still very active in her life and currently working on adoption.
