Hi! My name is Stephanie. I am a very loving, reliable and easy going nanny and have experience with all ages including newborns to young teens. I have my associates in Child Development and Early Childhood Education, am a certified Newborn Care Specialist as well as being CPR and First Aide certified. My experience with children includes working at a home based daycare for 4 years, homeschooling two young teens for a year, and have been a full time nanny/NCS for the last 2.5 years.

Hello! My name is Riley & I just recently relocated to the east side of MI from Grand Rapids for my first Speech & Language Pathologist job. I just recently graduated with my Master’s degree from MSU. I also have a Bachelor of Science from Central Michigan University, & a minor in child development. CMU, I study Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Child Development. A little bit about my experience: I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 14-I am now 24. I have experience with infants (2 months) to age 12, and love all of them! I am certified in CPR and First Aid, have my own car/clean driving record, am able to provide references and a background check upon request, and can cook/clean also upon request. I am also fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I have experience working with twins, multiple infants at a time (volunteered in my church nursery), as well as special needs children (ASD and downs syndrome to be exact). I love kids because they are so upbeat and positive, it is hard not to be happy around them! If you have pets, that's even more of a plus! I looove dogs and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I also am not a smoker! I recently traveled to Reggio Emilia, Italy as part of my Child Development minor and got to learn a lot about the Reggio Emilia/Montessori educational approaches and have since brought that back to the states and implemented it into the care that I give to those I nanny :) I look forward to hearing back from you!

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!
