I am a current college student with a passion for kids and animals! I grew up with four younger siblings, so I have quite a bit of experience under my belt, plus love kids in general! For some relevant experience: I volunteer at my church to help weekly with the kid's program and I worked at a kids camp this past summer (2025) too!! I am both First Aid and CPR certified, and I have my lifeguard certificate as well. I enjoy playing outside, doing crafts, reading, cooking, dog grooming, and oddly enough cleaning too! I am always available for homework assistance or running errands and am happy to help in any way I can!

Hi, I’m Makenzie! I have over 6 years of professional experience as a babysitter and nanny, caring for children from newborns to young teens, including those with special needs. I’ve completed training in infant and child CPR and medical safety, ensuring that I’m prepared to handle emergencies with confidence and care. I’m currently a student at Ferris State University (on break until spring of 2026), working toward my Bachelor’s degree in Elementary Education. I’ve already earned my Associate’s degree in Art’s and Science’s and hold teaching credentials in Michigan. With over 300 hours of teaching experience in preschool and kindergarten settings, I bring a wealth of knowledge and a genuine passion for supporting children’s growth and development. I love creating a safe, happy, and fun environment for kids and their families. Whether we’re doing crafts or playing games, I strive to keep kids engaged and smiling. I’m bubbly, patient, and always keep parents in the loop with clear communication so they feel secure and informed. I’m also happy to help with extra tasks like driving children to and from school or appointments, and helping out with homework or around the house if time allows. My goal is to make life easier for parents while ensuring their little ones are cared for in the best way possible. Let’s work together to make your home a safe, fun, and stress free place for your family!

Hi there! I’m Jacy — a caring, patient, and energetic caregiver with years of experience working with children of all ages. I spent 3 years as a preschool aide, where I supported early learning, classroom routines, and hands-on activities. I also worked in a daycare setting with infants and toddlers, giving me strong experience with feeding, diapering, naps, and developmental play. I come from a big family with 13 nieces and nephews, and I’ve helped raise many of them from newborn through school age — so childcare has always been a big part of my life. I love planning hands-on activities that get kids moving, encourage creativity, and support learning. I’m also a big believer in getting outside, exploring nature, and giving kids plenty of opportunities to play and grow. I’d love to meet your family and provide safe, reliable, and engaging care for your little ones!

I truly enjoy being a sitter because I love building meaningful connections with children and helping them feel safe, supported, and cared for. Watching kids learn, grow, and express their personalities is incredibly rewarding to me. I also take pride in giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands. I have several years of experience caring for children of various ages, including babysitting and working in childcare and educational settings. I’ve supported children with daily routines, meals, playtime, homework, and bedtime, and I’m comfortable caring for multiple children at once. My experience has taught me how to adapt to each child’s unique needs and personality. I am patient, reliable, and attentive, with strong communication skills. I’m experienced in creating structured yet fun environments, managing routines, and handling challenging behaviors calmly. I’m comfortable preparing meals, assisting with schoolwork, and planning engaging activities. I also have experience using organizational and planning skills to keep children’s days running smoothly and safely.
