Hello! My name is Jeanene... I have several years experience caring for children of all ages. I come from a wonderful family of 5 children, 3 sisters and 1 brother. Our parents taught us the value of education and strong moral values from a very young age. My brother, Joey, was the oldest of 5, and was born with Down Syndrome. He was diagnosed with some health issues when he was born- including cardiac problems. My sisters and I had taken on many responsibilities caring for my special needs brother as we got older. I helped Joey with much supervision, teaching, educating, lots of sports/hobbies and being actively involved in Special Olympics with him. I will carry the life lessons Joey taught our family with me forever... unconditional love, courage, patience, and understanding:) I began actively watching children when I was in High School at the age of 15 for a few family's in the neighborhood. I enjoyed it tremendously so I continued to babysit throughout my High School years and 2 yrs of college. Shortly, thereafter, my sister was blessed with triplets.... that kept me busy:) I became their part-time nanny for the first 4 years and a very active babysitter as they grew! In addition, my other sister adopted a little girl from Quatemala. I relocated to Louisville, KY to become her part-time nanny/babysitter and helped her through the challenging toddler years. I love children (just good for the soul)... I learned from a very young age how to manage children, educate them and create a safe environment, I also learned how to have fun, have a sense of humor, and create positive activities that promote growth and education. I am very comfortable watching children of any age (and pets)! I am enthusiastic, energetic, self disciplined, very health conscious, honest and dependable:) Please contact me for references I look forward to hearing from you~ Jeanene

Jeanene babysat for us while we vacationed in Hilton Head and we couldn’t have asked for a better person to watch our kids! We had 4 children ranging from ages 6 months old - 2 years old and she handled it perfectly! She made sure they all had fun, gave them meals, put them down for naps, and somehow kept the house looking clean by the end of the day! Our kiddos still talk about Jeanene and we will be asking her to babysit every trip we take! I highly recommend Jeanene!!

Hello, My name is Alexis. I am a recent graduate from Michigan State University and currently enrolled full time as a student of Wayne State University’s School of Medicine.

I love working with kids and hope to go into pediatrics with my medical care. I love dogs and don’t mind working with them. I have one myself! I am looking to work nights during the week and am available during the day and night for some weekends.

Alexis was very responsive, prompt, and arrived early. She was great with my one year old, and my nine year old thought she was very nice. Will definitely be asking her to babysit again!

Leighanna taught two of my children in preschool. She always showed love, patience, and care for our boys. The creativity she brought to the classroom is amazing, and our children came home talking about new songs and projects every day. She takes the time to connect with each child individually and creates a warm, engaging atmosphere. We highly recommend Leighanne to any family looking for a caring and skilled nanny!

Hi my name is Alicia (most call me Allie). I have been a nanny for about 17 years now. I have a 17-year-old step-son. I spent several years being a full-time nanny for my sister while she worked a full-time job. Her son is now 17 years old and her daughter is now 14 years old. Both of them were cared for from birth, up until 2014, when my sister moved (and the children also grew up). Currently I have been a nanny for a wonderful family for almost 2 years but come fall 2024 the children will be in school and the family will no longer need me. I do have a reference from the mother if needed also. I absolutely love children and would care for them as if they were my own. I am looking for a long-term family to love as my own, but can also babysit on occasions. I absolutely adore and love children and I'm a child at heart. I love playing outside with the children, doing arts and crafts, board games, I am able to help with school work as well as any light-housework. I do not mind pets. I would love the opportunity to meet you and the children and to see if this would be a good fit all around. If interested I can be reached by text or call at 734-444-1801. Thank you for your time.

I am excited to apply for the nanny position with your family. I would love to create an adventure filled summer camp feel for your children in the comfort of your own home. I can tailor themes to your specific interests, i can provide itinerarys age appropriate upon request. While my professional background has been in aviation, I believe my 25 years as a flight attendant with Spirit Airlines, combined with raising two successful college students, has given me the perfect blend of patience, responsibility, organization, and caregiving skills needed to be an exceptional nanny. As a mother, I raised a 21-year-old and a 19-year-old who are both thriving college students. I was deeply involved in every stage of their lives — volunteering at their schools, attending field trips, organizing parties and activities, and helping students who were struggling academically. I always believed children learn best when they feel supported, encouraged, and engaged. One of my greatest joys was creating memorable summer adventures for my children and their friends that combined fun with learning, creativity, exploration, and new experiences. Whether planning educational outings, outdoor activities, crafts, or hands-on projects, I love helping children grow their confidence and curiosity about the world around them. My career as a flight attendant also strengthened many qualities that transfer naturally into childcare. I am calm under pressure, highly dependable, safety-focused, nurturing, and skilled at managing multiple needs at once. Working with families and children from all walks of life taught me patience, flexibility, and strong communication skills. I would love the opportunity to bring my warmth, experience, energy, and dedication to your family. Thank you for considering my application. I look forward to the opportunity to speak with you further.

I enjoy being a sitter because I grew up taking care of my little siblings and cousins so as an eldest child, it has been an essential yet fulfilling part of my life. Additionally, I think kids are such a joy to be around and great companions to have fun with! I am currently a University of Michigan senior studying to become a child and adolescent psychiatrist so I am very passionate about caring for children! I used to work at Michigan Medicine on the child psychiatry unit, was a caregiver for my ailing grandma, and was a Behavioral Technician at an ABA clinic; I have a wealth of experience working with those who have special needs and in caring for those who struggle to care for themselves. I am CPR/BLS certified and have skills in redirecting maladaptive behaviors, toileting/oral care, feeding, providing companionship, and helping with homework.
