With over a decade of dedicated experience in childcare, I bring warmth, reliability, and a deep understanding of children’s needs to each family I work with. I’ve provided one-on-one care as well as support for multiples, including serving as a full-time nanny for three siblings—a newborn, a 2.5-year-old, and a 5-year-old—in New York before returning to the Bay Area. My background also includes roles as an au pair, tutor, teacher, and camp counselor, giving me a well-rounded foundation for connecting with kids of all ages. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Anthropology from Occidental College, which enriches my understanding of developmental and cultural dynamics in childcare. Many families I’ve worked with through this site have left glowing reviews, a testament to my commitment to creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment for children. Please feel free to book any open time on my calendar, as I keep it updated regularly. For any questions, don’t hesitate to send me a message—I look forward to meeting you and your family!

Hi! My name is Mikaela, and I’m a 30-year-old college graduate with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Child Development. I have over 15 years of experience working with children, from helping raise my siblings to serving as a summer camp supervisor for five years. While attending college in Texas, I worked in daycares and volunteered in a hospital maternity ward, which deepened my passion for supporting children and families. Since graduating, I’ve worked as a certified behavioral specialist supporting children on the autism spectrum, and I recently spent two years as a Special Education teacher before moving back to the Bay Area. Currently, I work as a behavioral specialist at a local school and babysit in my free time. Working with children isn’t just something I enjoy—it’s something I’ve built my career around!
