Find experienced babysitters in Cascade, 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.

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.

Whether it's coloring, going outside, or helping them learn, I really enjoy spending time with kids!

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!

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!

My name is Layne Gadberry. I am 31 yrs old and have lived in Michigan for almost 6 years. I live with my sweet 2 year old dog, Luna. My hobbies are reading, yoga, adventures with my pup, spending time with my sister, playing soccer, going to the beach, community based activities and art! I have loved children since I was literally a child myself. I found out in the last few years that my grandmother is the same way! Children are an essential part of my joy and bring so much positive energy to my life. I have been babysitting since I was around 10 and have worked at day camps, a children's museum, crisis nursery (my heart job), as a nanny, a pool and a residential home for girls.  I have been a career nanny for five years. I have a reliable car and a clean background etc. I have much infant experience as well as multiples, including twins I have been CPR, first aid and car seat safety trained, as well as training in trauma informed care.

I love to have fun and be really silly! I have 3 adult children. Well 4 when you count my daughter-in-law. Who I consider as my second daughter! I am a grandma of identical twin girls! My little beauties! They are all the lights of my life! We are all very close and I’m very proud of all of them! I am a widow so my time is my own. I love children of all ages. I enjoy pets as well. I have a little pug named Frankie and a kitty named Bowdie. I’ve worked at daycares for years and thought I might try doing in home daycare. So took care of a family of five for over a year till they didn’t need me. Now I’m with a family of five again but only babysit 18 hours a week. I’m available Monday thru Thursday 9-3 and weekends. I’m up for anything anytime! I love to do whatever the children enjoy. After all it’s all their time. I don’t spend time on my phone or watch tv. I may have the tv on once in a while for a special movie or children’s program. I do however like to have music playing at times that we can dance to and just go a little crazy! I do like to know if you have specific activities you would like me to do and what your expectations would be. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your most precious possessions!! I will care for them as I would my own children. With much love!! Thx! Blessings! Also I love animals, all kinds. Also have had a background check done on this cite.
