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!

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 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!

Before that, I worked for 2 years at a public school as a special needs paraprofessional with 9 children. In the past, I have worked for 2 different family's providing childcare for multiple hours and even overnight childcare while parents are working or away from home. I have nannied for a family with 2 children for 2 years in the summers, as well as babysat for a family with 7 children for a little over a year and a half, weekly! I have taken Early Childhood classes when I was in high school. I would love to have to opportunity to be a childcare provider for your family!

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.

Hello, my name is Paige! I’ve been caring for children in both professional and personal settings for several years, and I’ve gained experience with toddlers, school-aged kids, and children with unique learning and behavioral needs. My background in psychology and education has given me strong insight into child development, and I love creating activities that are both engaging and enriching, whether that’s helping with homework, reading stories, exploring outdoors, or getting creative with crafts. My goal is to provide more than just supervision, I want to create a safe, consistent, and supportive environment where children can thrive and parents feel at ease. I’m currently working toward a career in social work and child development, and nannying gives me the opportunity to combine my education with my passion for supporting families in practical, everyday ways. I’m dependable, patient, and highly adaptable, which makes me a great fit for busy households. I’m also comfortable helping with transportation, meal prep, and light household tasks to keep things running smoothly. Families I’ve worked with describe me as attentive, nurturing, and genuinely invested in their children’s well-being. I would love the chance to bring my experience and enthusiasm into your home and become a trusted part of your family’s routine.

I have worked professionally in childcare for over 20 years. Working as a private nanny or at day-care centers. I was a lead teacher in the 3 year old classroom at a local daycare. I have worked at two different after-school care programs. I was an Activities Director at a summer school where I tutored children and helped plan field trips. I am also certified in CPR and first aid.

I currently nanny for three boys, but am willing to help out for some date nights or occasional babysitting. I worked in a childcare setting for almost three years before switching to nannying which I have been doing for a little over a year now. I love the personal connection I have with the kids which was not available at a center. I have my degree in Early Childhood Development as well as years of experience. Growing up my mom owned an in-home daycare and I began babysitting at a young age alongside with my sister and then alone by age 12 for families in my neighborhood. I have lots of experience with infants and toddlers as well as multiples as I nanny for twins. Parents definitely need some time away from their kids, and I'm perfect for entertaining and making sure your children are safe while you are out of the house!
