Find experienced babysitters in Alto, MI

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.

My name is Leah, and I am twenty years old working on publishing three books while waitressing to bring in money. Having my first nephew at the age of eight I’ve grown up looking after kids and began babysitting very young which transferred into nannying later on, working for my church nursery, as well as the daycare at MVP Sportsplex where I became certified in First Aid and CPR. That’s over seven years of experience with children ages 0-12 years. I have a passion for taking care of little ones and giving them the love and care they deserve while their parents are away. My work is built on mutual respect and trust with parents to create a loving atmosphere for their children. Every child deserves to be heard and cared for lovingly, while this remains true I will kindly correct behavior to help each child grow. I would love to look after your children and help your lives be a little bit easier. I have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving kids. I love getting kids out of the house whether that is to a park or library. I will always clean around the house and am more than happy to assist with laundry or other household chores. Cooking and planning engaging and nurturing activities is something I am more than happy to do. Most of all I wish to give your child safe and nurturing care while their parents are away because I know it’s tough on little ones and I want nothing more than to help their time be filled with fun, love, and support!

I have baby sat for about 10 years different families. I have degree in Child Development. I’ve had two years in a daycare. I love doing milestones and fun activities for the children.
