Hello, my name is Dawn. I am 56 years young, married & a homemaker. I have a successful, 23 year old son & a wonderful husband. I have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 14 years old, from infants to pretweens, in addition to the experience of raising my own child full time. When he was old enough, neighboring & school friends would come over to our house, at which point I would then become the official babysitter for them. For the last 1-1/2 years, I have been babysitting a beautiful, intelligent 10 y/o girl, M-F every morning before school. I then drop her off at school & wait to make sure she is safely inside before I leave. Previous to this job, I was simultaneously a part time nanny to an adorable 16 month old little boy 2 days a week for 2 years, as well as a part time nanny 2 other week days to a sweet 3 y/o little guy & his 1 y/o adorable baby sister for 6 months. I love all my kids, and treat them as if they were my own. It always amazes me how little it takes to put a lot of joy in a child's day. I can provide that, as well as so much more. Every smile a child gives me puts joy in MY day. I took a baby care class at Bronson which included choking, bed, house & car safety. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am loving, caring, reliable, patient, honest & trustworthy. I will follow your every instruction to the letter. I will help you in any way I can if the opportunity arises or your little one is napping. I never take my eyes off of my kids. Even when they are napping, I check on them regularly to make sure they are safe. I would be honored, if given the opportunity to care for your little one. I am vigilant, loving & respectful. You can rest assured they will be left in the most diligent, reliable, loving and caring hands possible. I exemplify manners & respect. I will guide & encourage him or her through their next steps in the growth process, whatever those may be. Last but not least, my own rules: NO electronics on kid time! I am not on social media of any kind. No one texts me on a regular basis. No visitors! Never answer the door! Doors always locked! I will always have my phone close by in case you call me or I need to call you or in case of emergency. Thank you for your consideration. I wish you the best of luck in your search! Respectfully, Dawn JH

My name is Brooklyn Pryor & I am 21! I was going to college to get my human services degree because I further wanted to become a behavioral specialist in an elementary school! After a year I realized I wanted to attend Esthetician school instead of choosing Education as a career! I still grew a deep passion for working with little ones while having the opportunity to be in the Education Academy class at the career center in Battle Creek!! Before I graduated in 2022 I had the opportunity to work with students 4 days a week from grades K-5 at elementary schools all around Calhoun County! I also have had experience babysitting my 3 younger siblings since my sister was born in 2015, along with a list of families in Lansing who used me as a primary date sitter & weekly sitter! I have a list of certifications including my Babysitting License and CPR/First Aid certification! I offer my availability in Marshall, Battle Creek & Kalamazoo and I am available Sunday, Monday & Tuesdays anytime or anytime after 7pm Wednesday-Saturday as I am a Licensed Esthetician at Design Studio East as my full-time job!! Message me at 269-832-3532 with any questions or if you would like to set up a time to meet!!

I am a recent highschool graduate and am graduating Kellogg Community College this spring with my associates in science (by being in the early college program). I plan to keep going to school after and plan on becoming a pediatric doctor. I have four years of child sitting experience, with ages three months to 12 years old. I also have my first aid and CPR certifications. I have experience with scheduled nannying with twin boys and I have a lot of experience with periodic sitting for all ages. I always like to leave a place cleaner than you left it (dishes in the sink, laundry in the wash, etc). I also have experience tutoring and love to help with homework. I love having fun with the kids I watch (hanging out with them not just watching them).

I’m a mother of three (ages 11, 6, and 8 months) and have several years of professional experience caring for children from infancy through preschool age. I’ve worked with infants and toddlers in a daycare setting, served as a preschool assistant teacher at Gull Lake Schools for two years, and spent two summers working with PreK-5th grade at Gull Lake Summer Camp. I’m deeply passionate about children’s mental and emotional well-being, and I believe their formative years are the foundation for their future development. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel valued, understood, and encouraged to grow. The only reason I stepped away from professional childcare was to stay home with my own baby.
