Find experienced babysitters in Alto, MI

Hello! My name is Riley & I just recently relocated to the east side of MI from Grand Rapids for my first Speech & Language Pathologist job. I just recently graduated with my Master’s degree from MSU. I also have a Bachelor of Science from Central Michigan University, & a minor in child development. CMU, I study Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Child Development. A little bit about my experience: I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 14-I am now 24. I have experience with infants (2 months) to age 12, and love all of them! I am certified in CPR and First Aid, have my own car/clean driving record, am able to provide references and a background check upon request, and can cook/clean also upon request. I am also fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I have experience working with twins, multiple infants at a time (volunteered in my church nursery), as well as special needs children (ASD and downs syndrome to be exact). I love kids because they are so upbeat and positive, it is hard not to be happy around them! If you have pets, that's even more of a plus! I looove dogs and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I also am not a smoker! I recently traveled to Reggio Emilia, Italy as part of my Child Development minor and got to learn a lot about the Reggio Emilia/Montessori educational approaches and have since brought that back to the states and implemented it into the care that I give to those I nanny :) I look forward to hearing back from you!

My name is Layne Gadberry. I am 31 yrs old and have lived in Michigan for almost 6 years. I live with my sweet 2 year old dog, Luna. My hobbies are reading, yoga, adventures with my pup, spending time with my sister, playing soccer, going to the beach, community based activities and art! I have loved children since I was literally a child myself. I found out in the last few years that my grandmother is the same way! Children are an essential part of my joy and bring so much positive energy to my life. I have been babysitting since I was around 10 and have worked at day camps, a children's museum, crisis nursery (my heart job), as a nanny, a pool and a residential home for girls.  I have been a career nanny for five years. I have a reliable car and a clean background etc. I have much infant experience as well as multiples, including twins I have been CPR, first aid and car seat safety trained, as well as training in trauma informed care.

I have years of experience in caring for children of all ages and have excellent references.I am flexible schedule wise and can help out with food prep, animal care, errands and light housekeeping.

Hi! My name is April and I’m 20 years old. My main hobbies/interests include photography and spending time outside. Over the years I’ve been able to travel to many different countries and enjoy plenty of new experiences, which is something I really value. I don’t have any experience with paid childcare, however I do have experience with childcare. I spent a lot of time taking care of children in the neighborhood I grew up in and looking after the younger siblings of my friends! I always have a great time working with kids, I find that my creativity always comes in handy when I’m with kids. I hope to help out to the best of my abilities!

Hi, my name is Lavender and I’m 34 years old. I have been a career nanny since 2014 with experience dating back to 2007. I am from a small town in Michigan and have been living in Grand Rapids since 2016 when a live-in position brought me to the area. I have previously worked as a live-in nanny here in Michigan, as well as Hawaii California, Florida + North Carolina. I have extensive experience with newborns in particular, but primarily work with ages 0-2. I am CPR certified and know basic first aid skills (I am willing to become re-certified in first aid if need be). I began working with children at age 13 when I assisted in a family friend's daycare for two full summers. After that, I nannied for triplets during the summer at age 15. I babysat on and off until college, when I got my first full-time nanny job for infant twins. In between nanny jobs, I went back to the corporate world. I was hoping to get in some experience so that when I graduated, I'd have adequate experience to get a good job, but my favorite was always nannying. After graduating college, I worked two career jobs in accounting and finance, but after a year of working in the corporate world again, I decided that nannying was what I really enjoyed. I wasn't happy in my finance jobs and nannying makes me very happy. I adore working with children. I am a very outgoing, charismatic and caring person. I believe if you are happy doing your job, you will be even better at it and nothing makes me happier than working with children. I am currently working for a family full time and will be looking for my next position in August 2025. Feel free to message!

I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education and I have over fifteen years of experience as a caregiver. I have cared for twin infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary age children.

Hello! My name is Kira, and I have been working with children full-time for the past two years. My passion for childcare began at a young age when I welcomed my baby brother into my life at 12, and I have continued working with children ever since through babysitting and childcare roles. I have nearly two years of experience working in a daycare setting, including one year in the infant room, and I have cared for children ranging from 2 months to 6 years old. I am very comfortable around animals, as I grew up on a farm, and I enjoy spending time outdoors whenever possible. I would love the opportunity to meet you and your wonderful family!

If you think I might be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Hello, my name is Presley and I am 19 years old! Spending time with kiddos always brightens my day. I love coloring with them, singing and dancing, and especially learning new numbers and letters. As important as it is to learn new things and meet their developmentally appropriate needs, it is also important to have play time and have fun with them as well! Something that I take pride in and is probably my favorite part about spending my time with children is that I can create a fun, loving, safe, and welcoming environment for the to learn and be themselves in. We spend so much time with kiddos in a day as teachers, aides, babysitters, and more so we should make the best of those moments! I have been babysitting for family friends and neighbors since I was about 10 years old. I also am currently finishing up a job as a student aide in a classroom with 3-5 year olds.

I am a very outgoing, creative, and patient person. I am very passionate about teaching children while having fun doing it. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. I look forward to working with you!
