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!

Hello! My name is Riley & I just recently relocated to the east side of MI from Grand Rapids for my first Speech & Language Pathologist job. I just recently graduated with my Master’s degree from MSU. I also have a Bachelor of Science from Central Michigan University, & a minor in child development. CMU, I study Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Child Development. A little bit about my experience: I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 14-I am now 24. I have experience with infants (2 months) to age 12, and love all of them! I am certified in CPR and First Aid, have my own car/clean driving record, am able to provide references and a background check upon request, and can cook/clean also upon request. I am also fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I have experience working with twins, multiple infants at a time (volunteered in my church nursery), as well as special needs children (ASD and downs syndrome to be exact). I love kids because they are so upbeat and positive, it is hard not to be happy around them! If you have pets, that's even more of a plus! I looove dogs and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I also am not a smoker! I recently traveled to Reggio Emilia, Italy as part of my Child Development minor and got to learn a lot about the Reggio Emilia/Montessori educational approaches and have since brought that back to the states and implemented it into the care that I give to those I nanny :) I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hey my names Tammy! I'm the youngest of seven girls and have a very large family, so I've always had kids around. I love kids of all ages and enjoy playing games, such as hide and seek and card games. I can sing alone to most Disney movies and enjoy arts and crafts. I can cook, clean, and have a lot of patience when it comes to kids.

I have recently retired from the field of nursing and am happy to return to childcare. I have years of experience in caring for children of all ages from babysitting as a teen, I worked as a nanny for 2 years in high school, I’ve helped raise my goddaughter and cared for children of neighbors and friends through the years. I am flexible schedule wise and can help out with food prep, animal care, errands and light housekeeping.

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, 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 love being a sitter because I truly enjoy working with children and helping them grow, learn, and feel safe. Every child is unique, and I find it fulfilling to build trust and form a bond with each one. I also like being a positive influence and providing support to busy families who need someone reliable and caring to step in. I have experience working with children of various ages, from infants to pre-teens. I've babysat for families in my community, both during the day, and I've also helped with meal prep, homework, and bedtime routines. In addition to babysitting, I've volunteered at my church nursery for 7+years and worked at a childcare center, which gave me even more hands-on experience with managing groups of kids and creating fun, safe activities. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I’ve completed basic child safety training. I’m also skilled at managing routines, resolving minor conflicts calmly, and keeping kids engaged through games, crafts, and storytelling. I’m responsible, patient, and know how to stay calm in unexpected situations. Good communication is another strength — both with children and with parents to make sure everyone’s on the same page.

I love helping with the development of children and having fun with them! I am looking to be a blessing for a family! I’ve worked with children from the ages 0-11years at MVP Sportsplex for the past 12 years!

I have worked professionally in childcare for over 20 years. Working as a private nanny or at day-care centers. I was a lead teacher in the 3 year old classroom at a local daycare. I have worked at two different after-school care programs. I was an Activities Director at a summer school where I tutored children and helped plan field trips. I am also certified in CPR and first aid.
