Booked by 1 family in Daly City, CA

Hi, I'm Michelle! I've been working with young children for over 10 years, from summer camps, to babysitting, to working in preschools. I have two years of formal full-time teaching experience, plus many years of volunteer experience in Extended School Year programs for children with disabilities. I have also taught drama and musical theatre to young children. My first priority is making sure children feel safe and supported, and I look to strike a balance between fun activities, and calm moments to decompress. My background in preschool classroom environments helps me to stay calm in moments of transition, and has provided me many positive guidance tools to help children regulate their emotions and express their needs. I am also happy to provide pet care and household cleaning/assistance as needed. I'm originally from New York, grew up in New Jersey, and now live in San Francisco's beautiful Inner Richmond with my partner and our rambunctious dog, Maisy. I speak conversational Italian, love to sing, and have a degree in Theatre. In my spare time, I can be found outdoors with my dog, cooking, doing yoga, and playing ice hockey recreationally. I look forward to meeting you!

Michelle saved us with a last-minute booking when another sitter cancelled. She was very prompt, responsive, and clear with her communication. She was kind and engaging immediately with the kids (ages 2 & 4); very thoughtful and helpful. Did a great job keeping it fun while redirecting some rowdier kid energy. Would love to have her another time!

About Me Hello! I am a caring, dependable, patient, and energetic childcare professional with many years of experience working with children of different ages, including infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I currently work as a Head Teacher in early childhood education and an after-school program, where I provide a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for children to learn and grow. I truly enjoy working with children and love planning age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and hands-on learning experiences. I understand that every child is different, so I take the time to learn their personality, interests, routines, and individual needs. Safety, patience, communication, and building trusting relationships with children and families are very important to me. I am responsible, friendly, outgoing, and someone parents can feel comfortable having in their home and caring for their children. I believe children should feel safe, supported, respected, and encouraged while also having fun. I am looking forward to connecting with families who need a reliable and experienced nanny or babysitter. I would love the opportunity to become someone your family and children can trust and depend on. Looking For I am looking for part-time, occasional, weekend, evening, or date-night nanny and babysitting opportunities. I am comfortable caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I am happy to help with children's activities, playtime, reading, arts and crafts, homework support, meals and snacks, bedtime routines, and keeping children's areas organized. I am looking for a family that values a caring, dependable, patient, and experienced caregiver.
