About Michele

I have 20 years of child care experience as a babysitter, nanny, preschool/ kindergarten teaching assistant, lead teacher, and substitute teacher. I have worked with children ranging from newborn to 15 years old. I have taken care of children in more than 25 private homes. Some of "my kids" grew up to have their own children years before my daughter was born. I was a lead teacher and substitute teacher for two preschool classes located at my high school, and an assistant teacher for one half-day kindergarten and one full-day bilingual Spanish kindergarten. I have taken care of single children, twins, triplets, and up to 6 children simultaneously. I have taken care of three children with autism, one child with mild cystic fibrosis, one child with sensory integration disorder, two children with infantile anorexia (formerly known as "failure to thrive"), food allergies/intolerance, reactive airway disease, asthma, and multiple children who had developmental delays and/ or attention deficit disorder.
