About Michaela

Hi! I'm Michaela (most people call me Kayla), a dedicated childcare professional and mom of two boys who brings a grounded, highly experienced approach to daily nanny care. I’ve spent the better part of my adult life working directly with children across multiple developmental stages. My background includes serving as an operations director for a non-profit preschool, working within child and family services, and working as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT). With a solid foundation in behavioral support and developmental psychology, I specialize in creating predictable routines, encouraging positive behavior, and navigating tough emotional moments with calm, steady patience. I’m especially comfortable supporting neurodivergent kids or those who need clear, structured environments to thrive. My focus is on intentional, high-engagement care. I keep daily rhythms active and hands-on through creative art projects, outdoor play, story time, and open-ended exploration rather than defaulting to screens. I treat this work as a true profession, combining my administrative reliability and behavioral expertise with the warmth, common sense, and genuine care that every child deserves in their home.
