Sitterwise Spotlight: Meet Michelle

Link copied!

As a kid, being left with a new person isn’t always the easiest. That’s where Sitterwise caregiver Michelle comes in.

Having a passion for working with children, Michelle not only provides care to Sitterwise clients, but also works a certified doula and lactation educator. Time and again she’s helped anxious kids feel comfortable staying with someone new. In fact, she remembers one couple with a four week old baby who called in for some help so they could get some rest. Almost instantly, the infant settled down in Michelle’s arms.

Whether it’s just her aura, or the stories she tells little ones about hiking, skydiving or her dog Akira, Michelle has the special touch that puts children of all ages at ease.

Here’s a bit more about Michelle…
