Find local child care providers in Battle Creek, MI

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've been a sitter for 6 years! I love kids and pets! I'm very creative, kind, energetic, and I'm currently trying to get my associates degree. I have two nieces, aged one and two months.

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.

Hi there! I'm Morgan, I'm a student at GVSU studying occupational therapy. I have a degree in exercise science with health-fitness emphasis, and a minor in psychology. I love children and have over 8 years of paid experience with them! I've been a pediatric special needs caretaker to a nonverbal 8-year-old girl and her two sisters for over three years. I'm also a preschool teacher for children with compromised immune systems at the Children's healing center. I've been a nanny to a 4 and 7 year old little girl for 3 years & have 2 younger sisters of my own☺️. I also spent the last summer as a lead preschool teacher in Battle Creek, MI where I watched infants and children under the age of 4. I am an advocate for all things health and wellness. I encourage activity both mentally and physically as I believe in its benefits for children. I love kiddos and believe in creating a safe, active, creative and fun environment! I look forward to working with you and your children🙂

I love working with kids because I get to see their creativity and watch them grow and learn through various life experiences. I have many years of experience with kids, from working in the church nursery for 7 years, to being a long-term sitter for a family (6 years with that family). I am trained in infant, toddler, and child development, as well as SIDS awareness and Shaken Baby Syndrome awareness. I am certified in CPR and first aid.

I'm an energetic and creative sitter. With 3 years paid experience in child caregiving, from infants to preteens, I look forward to getting to know each child I work with and tailoring my care for their needs. Growing up, I worked in my church's daycare and cared for my niece and nephew. Now I work as a Behavior Technician providing ABA therapy to children on the autism spectrum. I'm very patient, hard-working, and able to provide help within the household. Contact me if you have any questions! I look forward to working with your family!

Letter to the family ⭐️ Dear Future Host Family⭐️ Hi! My name is Payton, I’m 20 years old and from the United States. I’m full of energy, creativity, and I have a deep love for children. ✨ Why Au Pair? I’ve always felt a natural connection with kids — their imagination, honesty, and joy inspire me every day. Caring for them fills me with happiness, and I find it incredibly fulfilling to support their learning, growth, and emotional well-being. Being an au pair is the perfect way for me to combine my passion for childcare with my dream of living abroad. I’m eager to immerse myself in a new culture, learn different languages, and become a loving, active part of a host family. I genuinely believe that the best way to learn a language is through play, crafts, stories, and everyday conversations with children. It’s a beautiful way to connect through kindness, creativity, and curiosity. My Childcare Experience • 3 years as a local babysitter, I was with a girl (6 years old) and a toddler (25 months) → The baby has autism and the girl has ADHD, so I’ve learned a lot about patience, support, and adaptability. • 1 year as a private tutor for children with learning difficulties (including Asperger’s and ADHD) • Summer camp leader – Responsible for cooking, crafts, and organizing outdoor excursions • 2 years as a nurse tech at a hospital, developing strong communication and multitasking skills along with caring for individuals from all walks of life •CPR certified
