Anna is the best! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, and helpful from start to finish. Most importantly, she was fun and engaging with the kids, who had an absolute blast and couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed their time with her. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. We would happily recommend her to other families and look forward to working with her again!

Do your kids love to be active? Well you have found the perfect sitter! I love being outdoors; going for walks, riding bikes, going to the park, catching bugs. I have been a nanny for the past 6 years and have been with my current family for 4 and a half years. They are transitioning to preschool so my schedule has opened up! Over those years I have babysat for many family’s and have nanny for 3 as well as my current family. I worked in the church nursery all throughout middle and high school. During high school I coached gymnastics at R Athletics. After that I worked in healthcare for a few years and coached middle school cheerleading at Kenowa Hills for a couple years. I have always had a passion for children from making crafts to learning how to ride a bike and everything in between. I currently am a server at Margaux so my schedule does vary so I am looking more for an occasional sitter position if that sounds like something that would fit your family please reach out!!

Maricela has been our primary nanny/sitter since our now 4.5 year old was 3 months. Over the years, she has become so much more than a babysitter—feels like part of our family. Marissa has been there for so many stages of Weston’s childhood, and we have always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. She has traveled with us multiple times. She has assisted us with party planning, moving, and other home tasks beyond the usual sitter duties.

Hi my names Kat! I have been working with kids now for years. I have worked at daycares, childcare centers and been a personal nanny.

Katelyn H. is very friendly, prompt, and provides structure for my children. They enjoy knowing that she is coming and I feel at ease knowing she is there with them. She keeps them on task when needed and allows them fun treats like movie days with popcorn. She establishes her own rewards system to keep the children motivated and well behaved. My older daughters think she is great, too! Katelyn has become a valuable asset to our household and we are happy to have her!

Kylee was a life saver - we needed a last minute sitter to help us while we unpack a moving truck. Arriving right on time, our 3yr old twins took to her right away. She had a playful but watchful manner with the boys. I will be calling Kylee again in the future.

Crystal M., Babysitter in Sparta, MI 49345 with 10 years of paid experience

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. 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.

Arianna B., Babysitter in Sparta, MI 49345 with 8 years of paid experience

I am a warm, loving, and dependable nanny with over eight years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages. I come from a deeply family-oriented background, and nurturing children has always been a natural part of who I am. I pride myself on being well-rounded and attentive, creating a safe, happy, and engaging environment where children can truly thrive. I am more than happy to help with cooking, meal prep, light cleaning, and household organization, and I love keeping days fun, structured, and meaningful. Whether it’s educational activities, arts and crafts, imaginative play, or hands-on learning, I enjoy supporting each child’s development in a way that feels exciting and age-appropriate. I also love getting kids out of the house—from trips to the park or zoo to fun local adventures that encourage curiosity, movement, and social growth. Most importantly, I genuinely love children and treat every child in my care with patience, kindness, and respect. Families often describe me as trustworthy, proactive, and deeply invested in their children’s well-being. I strive to be someone both parents and children feel completely comfortable with, and I take pride in being a positive, reliable presence in a family’s daily life.
