Find local babysitters in Marne, MI

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with children and helping them grow, learn, and feel safe. Every child is unique, and I find it fulfilling to build trust and form a bond with each one. I also like being a positive influence and providing support to busy families who need someone reliable and caring to step in. I have experience working with children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I've babysat for families in my community, both during the day, and I've also helped with meal prep, homework, and bedtime routines. In addition to babysitting, I've volunteered at my church nursery for 7+years and worked at a childcare center, which gave me even more hands-on experience with managing groups of kids and creating fun, safe activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve completed basic child safety training. I’m also skilled at managing routines, resolving minor conflicts calmly, and keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, and storytelling. I’m responsible, patient, and know how to stay calm in unexpected situations. Good communication is another strength — both with children and with parents to make sure everyone’s on the same page.

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'm a 34 year old lady who is a first time newlywed. I love children and I'm hoping to be blessed with children of my own soon. But until then I would love to get my kiddo fix and give you the break you need. Playtime, creativity, adventure and creating a positive engagement for both children and parents is something I strive for. I'm a very involved sitter and it's important for me to engage interaction, conversation, play and reading. Anything to help them with feeling comfortable and well looked after. I am CPR certificated, have my own transportation and don't mind keeping tidy around the house and I do not smoke.

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.
