Hello! I’m Michele and I’m available to provide support to a family on a part-time basis. I recently took early retirement from a career in healthcare with a focus on programs involving parents and children. I understand that raising kids is the best job but it can be tiring and challenging especially for busy families. My aim is to help reduce the stress by engaging with your children and supporting with tasks like housecleaning, laundry, meal prep. I‘m patient, caring and flexible. I have raised 2 kids of my own and neighbours and family members have trusted me to care for their infants and children. Formally, I have led programs for children ranging in age from 5 to 13 yrs and I’ve co-led parent/tot programs. I take a positive/balanced approach to parenting. I enjoy creating engaging, warm, safe and nurturing environments so children can thrive. My availability is part-time, however, I’m flexible about days of the week and hours during the day and I’m willing to work together to create a schedule that is best for you.

My informal experience is raising my own children and caring for children of neighbours and family, most recently supporting my niece and her 3 month old beautiful baby boy.
