About Michelle
Experience: 5 yrs
Konnichiwa! My name is Michelle and I love learning new languages and cultures. I am certified to teach Japanese at the N 5 level and also speak Spanish. I was formerly a medical assistant at advanced pain care, but missed being my silly energetic self with kids. I worked at La Petite Academy but wanted the freedom to explore and go further with my kiddos, which is why I love working with families one-on-one. One of my gifts is teaching and learning new languages; I would love to share my talents with your children. Seeing people light up when they master a new language or kids reach new levels of growth and development gives me the satisfaction of seeing my hard work pay off it's so rewarding to contribute to the next generation. I am CPR and First Aid certified as well. If you're interested please reach out, I'd love to share more about me and my gifts. Thank you for your time and I look forward to talking to you.

Michelle is a mature human being with a great grounded and joyful personality. She's was great with my two very active boys (8 and 5). She's firm yet fun and within a short amount of time was navigating the boys and boundaries smoothly. They're hard to please but really liked Michelle. We used for for about 2 weeks while we were staying in town near where she lives. I'm just sorry she doesn't live near us, otherwise I would use her MUCH MORE often. She drives well and is ever ready to help in anyway. One day I asked if she could help with some organizing items while I hung with my boys and she was a rock star at that as well. Will happily reach out to her whenever the need arises.
