About Michelle E

I offer a unique blend of professional childcare experience, compassionate nurturing, and a genuine appreciation for the joy and wonder of childhood. Having recently relocated to Austin from the Pacific Northwest, I bring valuable experience from my role as a private nanny for an infant (my favorite stage!) and as an After School Coordinator at Little Oak Montessori School, where I worked with children ages 3-10. At Montessori, I embraced a child-led learning approach that emphasized independence, creativity, and a deep connection to nature. I'm passionate about fostering curiosity and supporting children in their developmental journey, whether through hands-on activities, outdoor exploration, or guiding them to discover their unique interests. I take a holistic approach to caregiving, balancing structure with play, nurturing independence while providing comfort, and creating memorable experiences through creativity and exploration.
