"Michaela has been caring for my child over the last 6 months. I am nothing short of impressed and grateful for the level of care and dedication she provided.
From the beginning, she was warm and patient. Her natural ability to connect with children, creates a safe/nurturing environment where my child thrived. She is attentive to needs and has a strong understanding of child development, helping my child grow emotionally/intellectually.
One of the qualities I appreciate most, is her ability to engage in creative/educational activities. Whether it’s arts/crafts, cooking, reading, field trips, or outdoor play, my child is stimulated and learning.
She has been incredibly reliable and punctual, always on time and ready to take on the day. She has been a great communicator, keeping me informed of daily activities, milestones, and concerns.
I feel extremely fortunate to have had Michaela as a part of our family, and to carry on her “Lala” legacy. She will be greatly missed by all of us!"

"Michaela (aka "Lala") has been with our family for 2.5 years and we don't know how we'll function without her when we say goodbye in May (we decided it is a good time to transition to preschool after summer travels are finished). Our twins were 6 months old when she started and, not only has she been 100% reliable, she has provided our kids with such amazing adventures, growth & learning, and so much love! From painting/reading/cooking to hike/beach/playground/museum adventures, she has kept them busy & engaged from the time they were infants, while also having low-key snuggle days when needed. She juggled 2 infants and now toddlers with ease and is one of the most patient people I've ever met. We feel so, so fortunate to have had her as a consistent presence in our kids' lives and are looking forward to having her back as a babysitter when her full-time care with us is finished. We are going to miss her SO much and any family will be so lucky to have her join their lives!"

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I was a nanny for a set of twins October 2021-March 2024, nannied a 3-year-old March-July 2024 and I’ve been working with a little boy who was 2 months old when I started and is now almost two. I was a preschool teacher for over a year, a toddler teacher for over 6months, an infant teacher for 18months, a before/after school group leader, and I have a lot of experience babysitting. I have my associates degree in Early Childhood Education.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love to do activities based on what the kiddo is showing interest in. I also love to find local playgroups, science centers, museums, playgrounds, and parks to explore and keep our days fun and full. I also love an at home day if the child is needing some down time and rest. I know plenty of sensory (taste-safe for those mouthing kiddos) activities and art activities we can do. Reading is also a favorite of mine to do with the kiddos.
The most important part about being a nanny...
I love supporting the parents and the kids in any way I can. Raising tiny humans is tough and I love to help bring any ease I can to the experience. Being a tiny human is also tough! So I think helping the kids understand their emotions and helping them feel independent anyway I can is important. My main goal is to create a safe learning environment for the child to thrive in and also help support the family anyway I can.
The most important part about being a nanny...
Seeing them learn something new or master a skill they’ve been working hard at. Another favorite moment of mine is when my nanny kid said “Lala, you my bestie.” Lala is what they call me :)
