Hi, my name is Michele Loewke and I am a career nanny. I started my nanny career in San Diego where I attended school. I have experience with ages newborn through teen, this includes special needs and multiples. Although I like all ages, I really enjoy caring for infants and toddlers. I have lots of favorite games, books, fun crafts, and activities that I love to introduce to encourage learning. I also have extensive experience as a family assistant/house manager. I work hard to incorporate resetting the house and keeping things organized in order to support parents. I am very familiar with ages and stages, and I have a very calm disposition. My favorite skill is using gentle guidance and humor to redirect behavior. My experience extends into the classroom, with several years at Bellevue Montessori and Cherry Crest Elementary.
