A little bit about me

After high school, I completed training with NANI, I stayed with my host family for 2 years & then opted for life in NY. Over time, I gained experience assisting various high level families with child-rearing & household management. I returned to Denver to nanny for an airline captain (extended days at a time on duty) for several years. I married & had my own 2 children. My experience is with all ages, high profile families, and multiples. I enjoy reading, baking and travel. I have been raising my own two daughters for the last 18 years as well as working outside the home in Australia in a bookshop and as an administrative assistant, back in Colorado as a librarian assistant, and in customer service. Now that my children are nearly grown, I'm returning to nannying, given it's the most fulfilling job I've had.

"Michele is excellent for caring for children, because she truly enjoys taking care of them and helping them grow. My kids always love it when she takes care of them and is asking when they will see her again. Michele has years of experience caring for children with many variations in personality and ages. This means that she is pretty much undaunted by any situation, whether it be a medical emergency or a temper tantrum. She is a fun caretaker because she will get right in the middle of playing and relating to them at their level. She is well versed in what the developmental expectations are at each level. She can interpret a child's actions and behavior in the context of developmentally appropriate context and react accordingly, and communicate that to the parent. Understanding that children are children, she is able to set boundaries for children on when enough is enough, gently but firmly (i.e. if they need to be patient and wait for an adult to finish something).."

More About Me

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

I have my own daughters, aged 17 and 20. Not paid, but priceless! I've also babysat for a Parker family, 2 boys, currently ages 4 & 7 for the past several years. My most recent position was with 2 boys, aged 16 mos & almost 3 years old when I began. I was with them for a year and a half. I performed household manager duties, including housesitting, along with nanny responsibilities. Worked with family to wean off pacifier, transition to big bed & potty training. Lots of outdoor play, science experiments & reading. We made several fairy gardens & had tea parties with friends frequently.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Outings and adventures, museums, zoo, botanic gardens, nature trails, pottery studios, dance parties, baking, arts & craft, reading & library storytimes, science experiments, the list goes on...

The most important part about being a nanny...

is that I can assist parents in raising & nurturing the next generation. I have relationships that last for many years, which is meaningful to me. Children are miracles and it's a real joy to see their growth, in every way, over the years.

The most important part about being a nanny...

was when a very privileged but lovely girl was being unkind to her friend on a sleepover. I pulled her aside and told her if someone said she wasn't being a good friend, I couldn't possibly defend her, much as I would want to. I think that changed her perception of her behavior. It was effective, as she went & apologized to the other girl. She made me proud:)
Plus all of the hilarious & silly activities
