Find experienced 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!!

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 Have Always Loved Working With Kids! I Raised My Younger Siblings and After That Went To Work In A Daycare and Have 2 Years Of Experience Through That! I Love To Do Crafts and Educational Projects With Kids To Help Grow Their Mind! I’ve Worked With Newborns Up To 10 Years Of Age! I’m Working On Getting My CDA and I Am CPR/First Aid Certified!

I love kids. I am currently in school to be a RN, mostly neonatal and geriatrics. I would love to have more experience with babysitting. When I was a little younger I would always babysit my younger siblings and cousins. I believe that is why I love kids so much now. I still babysit them now. I pick them up from school and always ask them “What do you guys want to eat today?” And of course their answer is always McDonald’s. I always give them an extra fruit of veggie or their choice.

My name is Jazmin, I am 18 years old. I currently attend online classes at kcc, my intentions are to get my nursing major. I am CPR and first aide certified. I have background in babysitting in parents home, in my home, and in a daycare setting. I have reliable transportation and many references.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has a unique personality, and it’s rewarding to build connections with them and see their confidence and creativity develop. I find joy in creating engaging activities and making sure kids feel cared for and supported. I have experience working as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging up to five children at a time, ranging from ages 2 to 14. In this role, I organized activities, ensured safety, and provided guidance tailored to each age group. This experience taught me how to manage different personalities and needs, keep children entertained, and maintain a positive and safe environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which means I am trained to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care if needed. I have strong skills in communication, patience, problem-solving, and multitasking. My background as a camp counselor gave me valuable skills in activity planning, behavior management, and conflict resolution, all while fostering a fun and nurturing atmosphere for children.

Creating a safe and loving environment for children is a goal that I have for every family that I step into. Being active and engaging with creative minds is mostly how I connect with children. I am more than comfortable with infants and young children. I have experience as a nanny, in school settings and as an RBT for kiddos 2-8 with autism. Safety is also always a priority when being around young children. I can't wait to hear from you, thanks!

I am a recently graduated college student. While only having a few years of experience in professional childcare, I have babysat for 8 years, mostly with babies and toddlers.

I have CPR and basic First Aid training.
