Michelle loves ABC's Nanny Agency in Redmond, WA because she truly cares about children.

“I am a driven, energetic, positive, organized, caring and nurturing college graduate with a degree in Family Science. I grew up in a family of six, with two Deaf parents and am fluent in American Sign Language. I have been working with young children for seven years, through tutoring school aged children, babysitting, working with a Nanny Agency in Redmond WA as well as working in a preschool classroom. As a nanny, I would like to help instill these values in the children I work with. If I was asked to describe in one sentence the reason I have chosen to be in the nanny profession over any other it would have to be, because I believe that my calling is to work with children. I have worked in a preschool classroom and became very invested in my students. In this role, I was able to see how family and home life can impact not only the child’s way of interacting with their peers, but also how they learn. I think that in becoming a nanny, I will be able to help children develop into well rounded people. I think that the most rewarding part of working with children is seeing them develop and grow into productive members of society and working as a nanny will allow me to help in the process. I have been serving in some form of childcare experience for over seven years and can honestly say I love what I do! I feel the children are eager and ready to learn. I believe that they need the appropriate love and care to feel safe and ready to learn and contribute to the community. I feel children are always looking for role models and it is the duty of their providers to model appropriate behavior. My goal as a nanny is to provide a safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment for children to feel safe to grow and learn in. I am willing to do housekeeping that includes laundry, dishes, and light cleaning. If I had to describe myself in five adjectives I would say that I am organized, nurturing, respectful, energetic, and dedicated. Activities that I would like to incorporate in the daily plan for the family I care for would include a gross motor activity (i.e. playing outside, going to the park, etc.), an art activity, reading, trips to places in the community (i.e. a library, children’s museum, etc.), and an occasional cooking project. If asked to describe the perfect family seeking a nanny like me I would hope they would be dedicated and involved with the education and upbringing of their children, kind, respectful, open with communication, and friendly.”

“Michelle has been a caregiver for us for the past six months for our two small children ages 4 and 22 months. Michelle has been such an asset to our family. She has proven to be responsible, punctual, gentle, caring, and logical beyond her years. My husband and I are very careful about who we leave our children with and could only feel comfortable with the most loving of providers. Michelle has such a sweet and personable disposition, and comes from a loving, strong family. She does what is expected, and always does extra, showing great work ethic and personal responsibly. She is trustworthy, honest, competent, and has a sense of responsibility that reflects maturity. She is a hard worker and would be an asset to Nanny Agency in Redmond WA that seeks someone with self-drive and confidence.”

“Michelle is a responsible and diligent young lady. She demonstrates leadership, focused discipline and professionalism in my classes. Due to her positive attitude and firm yet loving nature, she was well received by her peers. She has excellent written and verbal communication skills and follows directions without hesitation. Michelle is continually implementing new ideas to help improve the daily running of the preschool. She enthusiastically participates in problem solving and uses resources creatively. She continually offers assistance to her peers as well as to me. She is able to give and accept constructive criticism and frequently evaluates her own performance. Michelle holds herself to a very high standard. She works effortlessly on all projects in class and for the children. She often volunteers to perform other duties in lieu of her assignments. When given an assignment, she exceeds the given expectations. She uses self- discipline to maintain a high grade average. Other classmates respect her for her rapport with the children, the permits, and for her positive attitude. In addition to her hard work and selflessness, Michelle also demonstrates responsibility. She takes initiative in communicating with parents and other school personnel. Her duties in the preschool include creating and implementing developmentally appropriate lesson plans and original teaching materials for three- and four-year old children, guiding children's behavior and supporting the health and safety in the center. She is also responsible for supervising daily routines and delegating assignments to other teachers. A few additional words to describe Michelle are hardworking, happy and motivated. She is one of the best students I have had the pleasure of teaching. She is a kindhearted, young woman who enjoys helping others and I highly recommend her to any Nanny Agency in Redmond WA. Her greatest strength is her positive attitude and willingness to help others, which is needed to work in all settings.”

“As the teacher in the Toddler Room, I have had the pleasure of knowing and working with Michelle. She has been a tremendous aide and an asset to our school and would be to any Nanny Agency in Redmond WA. Michelle shows a great understanding for the development of young children and the children love her. Michelle has provided the children will loving guidance and support. She is always willing and ready to step in when need in the room. Michelle has also offered up her experts in ASL (American Sign Language) and had taught the children several songs and read stories to the class using ASL. She has successfully demonstrated leadership ability by helping the children and teacher when needed.”

“Michelle would babysit our children. She came prepared with activities including active games and also arts and crafts (she even brought her own supplies!). She prepared dinner and snacks for our children. She assisted with the bedtime routine to include getting all 3 children into PJs, brushing teeth, reading and in bed. I have known Michelle for the past three years in two different capacities. She was a student teacher at my son’s preschool as well as babysat for us on occasion. Michelle is kind, caring, energetic, responsible, and creative. She is intelligent, resourceful and motivated. All of my children enjoy her, and she is able to actively engage multiple children of varying ages all at once (we have a 2, 4, & 6-year-old). She comes prepared with activities and does not rely on TV for entertainment with the kids. She is mature when interacting with adults and fun yet appropriately firm (including setting clear expectations and setting limits in a positive way when needed) when taking care of kids. Michelle has a gift with kids and would be an asset for any Nanny Agency in Redmond WA who chooses her.”

“I teach mixed-age preschool (ages 3-5), and Michelle completed her senior year internship in my classroom during the spring semester this year. Michelle has proven herself to be a responsible worker who shows an interest with working with children. She conducts herself professionally in my class, and she demonstrates positive interactions with the students. Near the end of the semester, Michelle enthusiastically stepped into a full-time role in the classroom when another teacher went on maternity leave. In this role, she offered an even greater level of support and assistance in the classroom. Michelle comfortably interacts with the children in the class, and she has been open to guidance about developmentally appropriate practices with preschool aged children. She has had several years’ experience working as a student aide in our school throughout her undergraduate study, and she is clearly confident working with children this age. I am glad to have been able to work with Michelle in this capacity, and her assistance in the classroom has been greatly appreciated. I feel that any Nanny Agency in Redmond WA that hires her is very lucky.”

“Michelle has been working with me as an after-school homework tutor through a Nanny Agency in Redmond WA since the beginning of December. In this relatively short period of time, I have come to admire Michelle for her ability to work with the many children in my after-school day care program. Her patience and determination have been exemplary and demonstrated the skills necessary to guide each child (with their respective individual needs, ages and abilities) through their daily homework. Michelle has gained my respect and the respect of each child by being reliable and efficient. I appreciate how quickly she anticipated my needs and was able to work independently and with little direction.”

“Michelle joined our school this fall. She joined our team as a student aide in the Pre-school Room working with mixed-aged preschool children and continued with this group of children in the spring. Michelle’s responsibilities as an aide require her to assist teachers with classroom management, transitions, and working with children to critically think about their play. Michelle takes initiative in the classroom and frequently seeks out the opportunity to lead activities with children. During my time spent with Michelle, I admired her for her many valuable qualities which will make her a wonderful teacher. Michelle showed a strong rapport with all of our students. Although children clearly enjoy being around Michelle, they understand that she is a teacher. Michelle is comfortable incorporating positive discipline methods into classroom management. Michelle is a team player and works well with her co-workers. She feels comfortable taking positive criticism and asking questions to further her growth as a teacher. She is an organized professional that understands the need for flexibility. When there are quick changes in a plan, Michelle acts calmly and quickly to make the appropriate adjustments. Michelle understands and values the relationship between herself, the families, and the community she works within. I believe Michelle will always work hard for any Nanny Agency in Redmond WA to ensure that her job gets accomplished with a positive attitude.”

“Michelle has always been an amazing friend to have in my life. I value her company, opinion, and the wisdom and maturity she sheds on all situations. It is so endearing to see how happily committed she is to her different childcare endeavors, always calling me to recount the joys of working at a pre-school or babysitting a local family. I readily recommended her to any Nanny Agency in Redmond WA that is looking for childcare, knowing she is a wonderful asset to a home and a joy to spend time with. She is a loyal friend who brings a positive attitude and a zest for life to all challenges she faces. I am lucky to have met her and even luckier to still have her in my life. She is one-of-a-kind, an amazing woman in spirit and character.”
