OUR Team
Founder
Michelle kelsey
Michelle founded Nannies on Call back in 2001, when her daughters were just two and four years old. As a working mother, she was struggling to find reliable, high-end childcare for her own two children, and immediately saw a business opportunity. Michelle holds a Bachelor’s of History and was originally planning on being a teacher, but coming from a family of entrepreneurs, she also knew that starting her own business someday was inevitable. Twenty years later, Nannies on Call has grown to include The Nanny Solution, and continues to ensure parents have access to safe, flexible, and quality childcare. Michelle lives in Vancouver, BC and loves spending as much time outdoors as possible! She enjoys hiking, camping, and walking in the woods for hours, which is where she gets all of her new business ideas.
