Michaela H.

Dear Parents, my name is Michaela, and I have been actively working as a babysitter for several years now, with great joy and enthusiasm.

I have recently successfully completed my bachelor’s degree in special education—with a specialization in psychopedagogy (intellectual disabilities) and ethopedagogy (behavioral and emotional disorders)—at Masaryk University in Brno. I have experience working with both neurotypical children of various ages and children with autism spectrum disorders. Thanks to my studies and internships at an autism preschool, a school, and a diagnostic institute, I am able to approach every child with understanding, respect, and calmness.

I have recently successfully completed an accredited certification course to become a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) and am continuing my education in the field of Applied Behavior Analysis (ABA).
Simply put, this approach helps develop a child’s skills (e.g., communication, independence, social behavior) while also understanding the causes of behavior and addressing it in a sensitive and structured way. I strive to apply this knowledge naturally and meaningfully when babysitting and working with children.

I’ve been babysitting through Hlídačky for four years now and currently help four families on a regular basis. I often pick up the children, take them to after-school activities, or help them with their homework. I also spent nine years working as an assistant at children’s camps, so not much can surprise me :)!

In my free time, I love books, walks, and spending time with friends. If you’re looking for someone responsible who’s a natural with kids—I’d be thrilled to hear from you ☀️
