Hi families, thanks for stopping by! A little bit about me: -I love exploring through hikes and discovering new things in the surrounding area. -I am a book lover and flower gardener. My experience: -I have 7+ years of childcare experience -I have worked with children in a variety of settings including in-home, and daycares. -Prior experience includes working as a CNA in homes and a retirement community. What your child's day may look like with me: -One-on-one play through reading books, singing songs, active playing with toys, or make-believe. -When requested I bring an activity bag that includes some of my favorite children's books, and several craft/hands-on activities. *small note: I am not looking for full-time work as my schedule doesn't allow it as a student in the last year of my teaching program. I would love to help you with one-time, occasional/part-time, or overnight babysitting.

I grew up in a loving household with eight siblings. I babysat for my parents for years and all through highschool I had paid babysitting jobs outside the home. I love children and pets and have high standards I hold myself to! I enjoy playing with children greatly. My goal is to leave with happy kids and satisfied parents who can feel comfortable that their kids are safe and cared for! I have a lot of experience in housekeeping and cleaning and can definitely maintain a clean environment for everyone. I love cooking and cleaning if that’s needed as well. I have a very flexible schedule and will guarantee that I will show up on time for every single job.

I have extensive experience working with children. From coaching a special needs cheer team, to volunteering at daycares, coaching gymnastics ages 4-18, teaching Kids Bible study at my church, working as a lifeguard at a family- resort pool, and being a nanny while in high school and college, Kids have always been my biggest inspiration and I love working with all ages! I am very patient, and have always enjoyed playing games or coming up with fun things to do with the kids to get them off of their devices!

Although we have just started working with Macey for our after-school needs, she was very responsive and professional through the interview process. In just a few short days she has demonstrated that she is prompt, reliable and trustworthy. I already feel fortunate to have her.

Hi! My name's Ashlyn. I am in my second year at MSU studying organismal biology! I am on track to graduate at the end of the 2027 school year and after that I plan to attend medical school! My experience includes child care for small children as well as tutoring for all ages from elementary to high school. I am fully BLS/CPR certified by the American Heart Association as well! I adore working with kids and families, I find that it helps my introverted personality shine a little more. As far as tutoring, I am available for help in all subjects and grade levels, as well as SAT and AP prep. I was an SAT tutor for Schoolhouse. world, a website founded by SK (founder of KA) and I have paid tutoring experience (3 years) at my former high school. I look forward to laughing, having adventures, and growing with your kids!

Hi! My name is Sarah. I have wanted to work with children for as long as I can remember, and am so excited to be working within my dream field. I have been babysitting/part time nannying for over 14 years now, and have 8 years of professional experience both in a preschool/childcare setting and at a developmental disability agency where I worked as a behavior intervention specialist for children aged 2 and up. I absolutely love working with young children. Watching them as they figure out the world around them, and seeing the awe and wonder in their eyes when they make new discoveries just fills my heart. I am a firm believer in the importance of learning through play. I believe that play is the work of the child, and that it is my job to help provide opportunities for learning and growth through play. I can't wait to meet you and your little ones!

Hello! My name is Charlotte Turner. I am an experienced early childhood education professional with over eight years of experience working with infants, toddlers, preschoolers, school-age children, and adolescents in both educational and therapeutic settings. Throughout my career, I have developed a strong foundation in child development, responsive caregiving, classroom management, leadership, and family engagement. My experience ranges from serving as a Lead Preschool and Infant/Toddler Teacher to my current role as Assistant Director, where I support daily program operations, mentor staff, ensure licensing compliance, oversee classroom quality, and help create a safe, positive, and engaging environment for children, families, and educators. My approach is centered on building meaningful relationships with children while creating developmentally appropriate learning experiences that encourage curiosity, independence, emotional regulation, and confidence. I have extensive experience designing and implementing engaging, play-based curriculum that supports language, cognitive, social-emotional, physical, and communication development while adapting to the unique needs of every child. I believe every child deserves to feel safe, respected, and capable, and I strive to foster inclusive classroom environments where children can thrive through exploration, connection, and individualized support. In leadership roles, I have assisted with staff supervision, scheduling, curriculum implementation, licensing requirements, classroom observations, professional mentoring, staff meetings, enrollment support, family communication, medication administration, incident documentation, and maintaining high standards of health and safety throughout the center. I regularly collaborate with teachers to strengthen classroom practices, model evidence-based strategies, and foster a collaborative workplace culture rooted in professionalism, teamwork, accountability, continuous improvement, and mutual respect. My previous experience as a Direct Care Provider strengthened my ability to support children with complex emotional and behavioral needs using trauma-informed practices, crisis intervention, and TBRI. I am organized, dependable, adaptable, and solution-oriented, with strengths in leadership, communication, curriculum development, behavior support, parent partnerships, staff mentorship, and creating positive environments where children, families, and educators thrive.
