My name is Kaitlin, I am 25 years old and I have been a professional babysitter/nanny in Battle Creek, MI and Phoenix, AZ for the past 9 years and I am looking for a full time position starting in June. I am currently living in Battle Creek Michigan but would be willing to travel up to 30 mins. A little bit of my history: I've been babysitting kids for 9 years. When I was in girl scouts I organized a group of girls scouts that provided a Friday date night for parents during the summer to go and enjoy themselves. We had kids ranging from 1-12 years old, and we came up with different stations for each age group. I come from a very creative family so doing arts & craft time is my favorite. I'm always thinking of activities for the kids I watch based on what they enjoy Read more doing. I have been a nanny before as well. One summer I watched two 8-year-old twin girls all day during the summer, they were always active. I actually prefer kids who are more active (crafts, sports, games, etc.) then just watching TV. I have recently moved to Arizona last year, so I'm not too familiar with the area yet, but have done a few babysitting jobs in the time I've been here. I have watched two girls (5 & 8 years old) that I babysit every once awhile and we've done duct tape projects, built blanket forts, watched movies, played soccer outside, go swimming, dance, and lots of drawing and painting together. I always join the girls in our activities, I'd rather be payed to have fun and interact with kids because everything they do I love to do as well. I speak English and Sign Language fluently and have taught several kids how to speak Sign Language, which I can teach your kids for fun. I am CPR certified, a non-smoker as well as have a clean driving record. I am also a dog owner so I would definitely not mind being around your cute dogs. I’d be happy to provide references as well as meet or chat on the phone.
