Hi families! As a Bay Area career caregiver with 15 years of experience, I bring a calm, reliable, and nurturing presence to your home. My passion for childcare started as the eldest of 10 children and grew while raising my own twins, who are now college grads!I specialize in newborns up to age 7, with extensive experience managing twins and multiples. I excel at toy organization, choosing age-appropriate toys, and introducing healthy tips to gently guide picky eaters. Currently training as a certified infant sleep consultant, I love helping parents establish gentle routines and providing nurturing postpartum support to help new parents recover. Whether you need creative storytelling, organized play spaces, or dependable backup and sick care, I am here to help your household run smoothly. I maintain perfect attendance and a clean background. I would love to support your family!

Hi! My name is Michelle. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from newborns to 12 years old. My background includes 10 years in daycare and preschool settings, along with 5 years as a professional nanny. Most of my nanny experience has been with infants under 12 months old, but I truly enjoy working with toddlers and older children as well — engaging them in fun, developmentally appropriate, and enriching activities tailored to their age and personality. I am currently working full-time with a family and am looking to pick up additional hours on weekends or for date nights. I’m happy to provide reliable, consistent care for families who need occasional support. I also offer pet-sitting services if needed. My childcare style is gentle yet firm — calm, patient, and attentive, while still being playful and engaging. I value creating a nurturing, structured environment where children feel safe, respected, and encouraged to explore and grow at their own pace. Certifications & Background: • Bilingual in Korean and English • Background in Early Childhood Education • Completed coursework in Child Development • CPR certified • TrustLine registered I would love the opportunity to support your family and care for your little one. Thank you for taking the time to read my profile! Warm regards, Michelle

Michelle has been great when we've worked with her! Our 4 year old daughter has special needs which requires a very patient, kind, and understanding individual and Michelle has been all of the above. She picked up all of the instruction we gave her about our daughter's specific needs, asked appropriate questions, and has always shown interest in her growth and development even beyond their time together making suggestions of games/activities she might enjoy. We would definitely recommend Michelle.
