My name is Michelle, and I’ve been working as a career nanny for the past 10 years. I hold a degree in Psychology with an emphasis in Child Psychology, and caring for children has always been my passion. I recently moved back home to continue my work with families and absolutely love babysitting whenever I get the chance or when I’m home visiting family. As for my experience, I’ve been caring for children since I was about 10 years old. Over the years, I’ve worked with kids of all ages — from newborns and toddlers to teenagers — and have supported families in a wide variety of ways, including: • Tutoring and assisting in after-school programs (ages 8–12) • Nannying for several families with children ranging from infants to teens • Providing on-call babysitting for multiple families as needed • Transporting children to school, practices, games, and outings • Working as a “mother’s helper,” assisting with errands, laundry, dishes, cleaning, and organizing the home In addition to my professional background, I’m also a mom to two young children (ages 2 and 4), which has deepened my understanding of children’s emotional and developmental needs. I’ve cared for groups as small as two and as large as fifteen, so I’m very comfortable managing multiple children and adapting to busy schedules. I’m upbeat, friendly, responsible, and always happy to help wherever needed. I truly believe I have a natural way with kids, and I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Michelle was extremely competent, kind, and low-key. I am so grateful to have found her.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
