Find experienced babysitters in Caledonia, MI

Hi there! My name is Rose. I have several years of experience caring for children, from being a live-in nanny for my three nephews (ages newborn to 8) to working as a camp counselor. I’ve also worked in healthcare, including in a Pediatric Emergency Room, and I currently serve as a research assistant in Pediatric Oncology. I’m applying to medical school this year and truly enjoy spending time with kids—whether that’s helping with homework, playing outside, or winding down with a bedtime routine. I’m available for occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends and would love to be a reliable extra set of hands for your family.

My name is Jerika (pronounced Jairickuh) and I am a Grand Valley State University graduate with a degree in Psychology. I have babysat kids/babies of all ages and tutored kids of elementary and middle school age (everything from reading to math). I also have experience with online tutoring. Whether it's coloring, going outside, or helping them learn, I really enjoy spending time with kids!

Hi! My name is Katherine, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, including 6 years as a preschool teacher. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and just be themselves. My background in early childhood education has taught me the importance of routines, creative play, and clear communication—not just with kids, but with parents too. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading bedtime stories, or engaging in arts and crafts, I always strive to make every moment meaningful. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, patient, dependable, and genuinely love what I do. Your child’s safety, happiness, and development are always my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted and supportive part of your family’s care team!

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 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.

Hello! I am an Early Childhood Special Education Teacher. I am available for after-school care (4:30-9) and any time on the weekends. I chose a career working with children because I love their active imaginations and kind hearts. I enjoy spending time talking with children, making crafts, creating science projects, playing outdoors, exploring nature, reading and learning! Please feel free to contact me if you believe I would make a good caregiver for your child/children!

I have 1 niece (age 3) and 1 nephew (age1) both in which I took great care of for a few months. I am very loving, happy and bubbly. I would make a great sitter because I love kids. They are a blast, I love playing games, reading and helping with school work. I am a great cook/cleaner as well so I will also do the usual routine house maitnence.

Hello, my name is Julia Roberts and I’m 23 years old and I currently nanny Tuesday-Thursday for a family 10am-4pm and I’m looking for a part time nanny position if possible to fill the gaps on Mondays & Fridays and I’d be available all weekday evenings after 4pm. A little about me, I am a very adventurous and out going person with an empathetic and kind heart. I love children and watching them learn and grow into amazing people. I am very patient and respectful and would care for a child as if it were my own. I have two wonderful and loving parents and an older brother who I absolutely adore. My family would describe me as empathetic and happy and my friends would describe me as loyal and genuine. Im auntie to 3 little boys and a girl and I absolutely adore and miss them as I have moved away and now Im in Byron center, Caledonia area. EXPERIENCE: I have nannied for 7 years with many different families with all ages of children from an infant to 15 years old. I currently watch an 11 month old and for a while a 3 year old before he started preschool full time. I would take care of the little ones all day, I would do breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner with them, I’d do bath times, put them down for naps as well as engage and play with them or go on walks or to the park. I would also occasionally do household chores for the kiddos if needed like laundry and cleaning bottles and picking up their toys. I have volunteered in elementary class rooms and would help the children learn. I have also worked with special needs kids who couldn’t communicate in any type of way or who had anger problems. I’m very good with kids and love taking care of them. SKILLS: CPR and BLS certified: I have taken a CPR course in 2022 at a community college near me, and we practiced on how to do it with adults and infants. I have taken a child care class in college as well. We learned the basics, such as what to do if the child is sick or got hurt from doing something. We learned how to care for them on a daily basis or if it was something more serious such as if they were choking. I have life guard training, so I am a very good swimmer and I would be able to save a child if they got themselves into a situation where that was needed. I am fully Covid vaccinated. I have ALL my vaccinations up to date since I had taken a phlebotomy course through the hospital. I look forward to hearing from you on how I can help your little family grow!

Hello, my name is Sarah and I graduated on May 1, 2010, from Grand Valley State University with a degree in Sociology.  I married my husband, Patrick, on June 4, 2010, and we have decided to reside in the Grand Rapids area since it is where he grew up.  I have always enjoyed working with and caring for children, and my past jobs have reflected that interest.  Most recently I watched a 7 year old boy over the summer after nannying for two different families with a little girl about 3 years old. Before this, most of my work took place in child care centers with kids anywhere from infant-12 years. I love to be active and do my best to make sure others are having a good time.  I am a hardworking, honest, organized and responsible individual and would enjoy the opportunity to meet your family. 

Hello, my name is Kayla. I have worked in the childcare field for 10 years from church nurseries, daycare centers, and ABA clinics. I am a mother as well with a special needs girl at home. I take pride in helping families feel that comfort that their child is in good hands. I’m drawn to nannying because of the closer relationship to a family and independent work. I am CPR certified and very flexible/eager to help with anything! In my free time I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family, and going to the beach.
