Find local babysitters in Portland, MI

I have a background in education and caregiving, with over 8 years of experience working with children in various settings. I began babysitting at around 12 years old for neighbors and family friends, and later volunteered at a summer school program during high school. Currently, I work as a paraprofessional in the Lansing and Grand Ledge school districts, where I support students with a wide range of academic, behavioral, and emotional needs! I am patient, caring, and reliable. I’m also highly adaptable as I’ve worked with children of different ages and abilities, including those on the autism spectrum. I’m currently pursuing a career in speech pathology driven by my passion for working with kids. I also have 2 cats and a dog who require medication daily, so I’m experienced in managing pets, including administering medications, feeding schedules, and cleaning. I'm comfortable providing basic household support as well!

I’m a very active and creative babysitter/nanny. I love exploring outside, playing games and making crafts with the kids. Though I only have about a year of paid experience, and mainly with one family, I have a genuine passion for caring for kids. I have experience primarily with toddler and preschool age kiddos, but looking to gain more experience with younger ones. I love building connections with kids, have experience preparing meals, providing engaging activities, changing diapers, and willing to help out with housekeeping and laundry. I’m first aid/CPR certified as well as a certified safe sleep ambassador. I’m excited to combine my creativity and love for kids into a full time nanny role, making sure your little ones have fun and learn while staying safe.

Hi my name is Kara and I love kids. I consider myself the cool babysitter because I’ll always play dolls and cook the best grilled cheeses. I have experience with all ages of children. I have babysat for both large and small families.

I absolutely love being a sitter because kids bring so much joy, laughter, and creativity into every day! I have experience caring for little ones of all ages, from toddlers to school-aged kids, and I’ve helped with everything from school pick-ups and meals to bedtime routines, homework, and of course plenty of fun. I’m CPR certified and trained in basic first aid, so safety is always my top priority, but I also love to make babysitting feel special whether that’s through crafts, baking treats, playing games, or going on walks. I’m reliable, patient, and caring, and I love creating a fun, safe, and positive space where kids feel happy and parents feel at ease.

Hiya! My name is maribeth. A bit about me is I have 9+ years of experience from watching my nephews as I grew up and have babysat for friends or family for a long time. I really wanna get back to helping out and caring for kids. I currently am a passionate young massage therapist, but I miss being around kids and caring for them. I I love interacting with kids, animals, and being in nature. Im outgoing, goofy, creative, fun, and have been told I have a caring mother nature since even since I was little. Because of being the youngest in my big family I learned to listen well and have a love for helping others out! Have my own car. I also love cleaning for some reason lol. So I am willing to helpout with caring for the kids, pets, cooking, cleaning up, and extra tasks if needed.

I have been working for daycare facilities since I was 16 years old. I had to take time away from child care due to having my own family. I have 5 children of my own, ages from 16 down to 6. They are all in school full time now, and I would like to get back into working with children again. I'm looking for a schedule that allows me to work the hours that my children are in school. My reason is that one of my children is autistic and type 1 diabetic, so I have to be at home when he is to make sure he gets his insulin. I don't have a recent certificate for cpr and first aid, but I have taken several classes over the years that I know how and what to do.

Hi! I’m Charisa, and I’ve cared for kids from newborns through middle school. I genuinely love spending time with children—neurodivergent or neurotypical—and seeing the world through their eyes. I’m calm, creative, and love encouraging kids to explore, play, and express themselves. I’m also happy to help with light housework, meals, and anything that helps your home run smoothly. I’d love to connect and see if I’d be a good fit for your family!
