My life experience has always been involved in children, pets and their care. I've loved taking care of children and animals all my life. I previously held a Michigan Day care license and provided in home childcare. I have also had many different pets. Mainly dogs and cats however I've also had birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. I have always enjoyed children of all ages. During the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic I lost my job. I was employed there for 40 years. I am now seeking a more enjoyable way to add to my retirement. I know that working families often times need help before and after school for their children. I can help you. I provided my in home child care while I worked part time in a manufacturing setting. I know life can be very busy balancing work and family. I can send your child/children off to school or be there after until you can get home from work. I am also an animal lover and have no problem with pets and pet care. Does your dog need a walk? I can help there too. I can perform other pet care as needed so you don't have to. Please contact me if you are interested in my child and or pet care services.

Hello! My name is Baylee VanderZwaag and I’m a student at Hope College, looking for an evening babysitting/nannying job. I have experience babysitting for a family 4 kids (the oldest just turned 5), and one of the kids has epilepsy and behavioral issues. I’ve also babysat regularly for a family of 3 older kids (6-12 years) and have experience managing arguments and entertaining older kids. I also have experience with other younger families of 1-2 kids of young ages. A focus of mine while caring for any child is eliminating screen time and maximizing outdoor time. I’m willing to do housework, make meals, and take care of any pets in the home. Feel free to reach out if it sounds like we would be a good fit!

Hello, my name is Sarah and I graduated on May 1, 2010, from Grand Valley State University with a degree in Sociology.  I married my husband, Patrick, on June 4, 2010, and we have decided to reside in the Grand Rapids area since it is where he grew up.  I have always enjoyed working with and caring for children, and my past jobs have reflected that interest.  Most recently I watched a 7 year old boy over the summer after nannying for two different families with a little girl about 3 years old. Before this, most of my work took place in child care centers with kids anywhere from infant-12 years. I love to be active and do my best to make sure others are having a good time.  I am a hardworking, honest, organized and responsible individual and would enjoy the opportunity to meet your family. 

Hello, my name is Kayla. I have worked in the childcare field for 10 years from church nurseries, daycare centers, and ABA clinics. I am a mother as well with a special needs girl at home. I take pride in helping families feel that comfort that their child is in good hands. I’m drawn to nannying because of the closer relationship to a family and independent work. I am CPR certified and very flexible/eager to help with anything! In my free time I enjoy cooking, spending time with my family, and going to the beach.

I absolutely love Michigan and I'm so excited to call this place home. Ive always had a passion for kids, ever since I could remember. I have four younger siblings, and I can confidently say that is definitely where my passion started, but ever since then I have always loved working with kids. I love seeing their bright smiles and helping them learn and grow. I am currently in a course to get my CDA certificate and will be starting online school soon to be an elementary teacher. I have worked with kids of all age ranges, and I'm extremely comfortable around any age. I would love to be your new nanny, and I look forward to meeting you!

Hello, my name is Julia Roberts and I’m 23 years old and I currently nanny Tuesday-Thursday for a family 10am-4pm and I’m looking for a part time nanny position if possible to fill the gaps on Mondays & Fridays and I’d be available all weekday evenings after 4pm. A little about me, I am a very adventurous and out going person with an empathetic and kind heart. I love children and watching them learn and grow into amazing people. I am very patient and respectful and would care for a child as if it were my own. I have two wonderful and loving parents and an older brother who I absolutely adore. My family would describe me as empathetic and happy and my friends would describe me as loyal and genuine. Im auntie to 3 little boys and a girl and I absolutely adore and miss them as I have moved away and now Im in Byron center, Caledonia area. EXPERIENCE: I have nannied for 7 years with many different families with all ages of children from an infant to 15 years old. I currently watch an 11 month old and for a while a 3 year old before he started preschool full time. I would take care of the little ones all day, I would do breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner with them, I’d do bath times, put them down for naps as well as engage and play with them or go on walks or to the park. I would also occasionally do household chores for the kiddos if needed like laundry and cleaning bottles and picking up their toys. I have volunteered in elementary class rooms and would help the children learn. I have also worked with special needs kids who couldn’t communicate in any type of way or who had anger problems. I’m very good with kids and love taking care of them. SKILLS: CPR and BLS certified: I have taken a CPR course in 2022 at a community college near me, and we practiced on how to do it with adults and infants. I have taken a child care class in college as well. We learned the basics, such as what to do if the child is sick or got hurt from doing something. We learned how to care for them on a daily basis or if it was something more serious such as if they were choking. I have life guard training, so I am a very good swimmer and I would be able to save a child if they got themselves into a situation where that was needed. I am fully Covid vaccinated. I have ALL my vaccinations up to date since I had taken a phlebotomy course through the hospital. I look forward to hearing from you on how I can help your little family grow!
