Hi! I'm Michele - a childcare center owner who recently sold her school after 7. 5 years to return to what I love most: being present with one family at a time. With over 35 years of experience in the childcare field, I pride myself on being patient, dependable, and nurturing. I am comfortable caring for children of all ages and bring both hands-on experience and professional leadership to every family I serve. I hold Staff and Director Credentials and am certified in Pediatric CPR and First Aid. When I'm with your children, they have my complete attention - and you have my word that they are safe, happy, and in the best of hands. My goal is simple: that you walk out the door feeling completely at ease. I'm also very comfortable with pets - I have a 115-pound Bernese Mountain Dog of my own, so even the big ones don't faze me! I look forward to supporting your family with the same care, warmth, and attention I would give my own.
Holy cow.. Michele was the first caregiver to ever watch my daughter and she was with her for nearly 10 hours and she did NOT disappoint!!!! I was nervous but she had the education, the calm demeanor, playful energy and just overall was such a delight. My daughter is in her separation anxiety phase and immediately she was drawn to Michele. Not only did she send photo updates, she also managed to compile an entire list of nap times, diaper changes, feedings, amount that was fed. I mean wow, I was absolutely blown away with the care she gave. Additionally, she was early, which was a huge bonus. 100/10 would recommend her and cannot praise her enough.
