Sittercity helps Ada families find the best child care providers

Hello! My name is Kayla and I am so excited to meet you! I have several experiences working with children including summer camps, public schools, day cares, and behavioral therapy. I am CPR certified, First Aid certified, and I am a Registered Behavior Technician. I have strong skills in behavior management, homework help, and skill building. I am a very outgoing, creative, and patient person. I am very passionate about teaching children while having fun doing it. If you have any questions feel free to reach out. I look forward to working with you!

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.

Hello, my name is Amanda. I ran an in home daycare for 7 years and enjoyed that rewarding experience every single day. I recently decided to start caring for children outside of my home due to the fact that my special needs daughter now age 21 has grown enough independence for me to be gone full time. I currently care for a wonderful family in Lowell, which includes a 3-year-old boy and a 6-month-old girl. I am first aid and CPR certified and comfortable with both cats and dogs. I am active and make sure I get exercise every day in order to keep up with energetic bundles of joy. I am parting ways with my current family because the hours are currently part-time and will be going down even further. I am very hands- on, lead with love, and believe in supporting the parents and respecting their decisions.

Hi my name is Kayla and I’ve been babysitting for many years. I have a heart of Gold and love everything about building a bond with families and watching the growth of kids. I am an Aquinas Alumni 2023 & I currently work in the NICU at Helen DeVos Children’s hospital as a nurse tech. I have always dreamed of being a nurse, so I decided to do more school to become a NICU nurse, but currently on a waitlist. I am very active each and everyday! I am responsible, trustworthy, patient, and will treat and take care of your kids as if they were my own:) I’m big into sports, traveling, shopping, & working out & I enjoy staying busy. It would be a pleasure to meet you and your family 💗

My name is Jerika (pronounced Jairickuh) and I am a Grand Valley State University graduate with a degree in Psychology. I have babysat kids/babies of all ages and tutored kids of elementary and middle school age (everything from reading to math). I also have experience with online tutoring. Whether it's coloring, going outside, or helping them learn, I really enjoy spending time with kids!

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 have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education and I have over fifteen years of experience as a caregiver. I have cared for twin infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary age children.

Hi, I'm Ruth, but everyone calls me Rue! With two years of experience in daycare and currently studying psychology in college, I bring a caring and understanding approach to childcare. In my free time, I love to color, take my dog for walks, and explore new recipes in the kitchen. I'm passionate about caring for children and am completely comfortable with pets and cleaning. If you think I might be a good fit for your family, please don't hesitate to get in touch!

Hi, my name is Rebekah :) I am a kind and creative person looking to help out families through babysitting! I love caring for others. Some of my favorite elements of babysitting include making arts and crafts, teaching ASL, playing games, and going outside to get some sunshine and fresh air. I value healthy eating and encourage the children I babysit to as well!

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.
