Hello! My name is Michaela, and I provide reliable, compassionate babysitting that families can trust. I’m patient, attentive, and great at creating engaging activities that fit each child’s personality. My goal is to keep your little ones safe, happy, and entertained so you can step away with total peace of mind.

From snack time to bedtime, I promise to keep the kiddos laughing, learning, and loving every minute of it. Looking for a night off? Let me take over while you enjoy a peaceful evening, knowing your kids are in great hands!
