Hello families! My name is Brianna, and I am 27 years old. I recently moved to the Kalamazoo Area from Southwest Michigan. I love anything outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and my dog who just turned a year old. I have been a preschool teacher full time for the past 4 years and absolutely love it!

I am CPR/First Aid certified and also have a valid Child Development Associate Certification. I have a reliable vehicle for transportation, typically have evenings and weekends free, and I'm pet friendly too! I can’t wait to bring my nurturing, calm, and playful energy to your family!

Hi! My name is Serena Solis and I am super excited to meet and love on and watch over your little ones. :) I am currently 26 and have been babysitting since I was 13. I am one of 10 kids (yes, you read that right) and I have been helping take care of my little siblings practically my entire life (including newborn twins at 14!) outside of my family I have been babysitting for my family’s friends since I was 13. Outside of babysitting I volunteer in my church’s Sunday School for 11 years (in the nursery and elementary school ages) and I have also been a camp counselor for preschoolers- middle schoolers for years. I love all things girly and fun like American Girl & Barbie and painting nails but I also have 6 brothers and am down to always be outside or playing Mario Kart.

I am currently looking for some part time babysitting work here and there. I usually work 8-5 M-F. I am flexible and am happy to answer any and all of your questions!

Hi, my name is India, I am 20 years old. I graduated with the class of 2023 from Kalamazoo Central High School. I enjoy working with and around kids as well as animals. I enjoy being in nature and doing artsy things. I have worked with kids of all ages from newborn to 11 years old and kids and adults with autism ages 3 to 24. I have always adored being around kids, toddlers, and infants so I feel this would be a good and exciting side job. I ask $16-$22 an hour but that may vary depending on distance and if special care is needed. I’m currently taking a break from school right now so I have more time. I have 2 jobs one working for a security company and providing assistance on Comstock busses through KRESA from 9-9:30 and again at 1pm-3:00pm and my other job working at PCEC from 3:30-6pm and always free on weekends. I look forward to hearing from you if you decided to allow me to sit for your family.
