Find experienced child care providers in Cedar Springs, MI

Hello, my name is Clara and I have taken care of children for over 40 years now and love it. I am currently with a very loving family now. They are having their second child and the mom just told me she is quitting her job to stay home with the kids. They want to still keep me but, my hours will be cut. I have been with them 3 years in April and love the little girl like my granddaughter. I have worked in a daycare center where I took care of four infants at a time loved every minute of it. I fed them, read to them, sang to them, played with them, took them outside, and saw to whatever their needs were to be done. I worked with special needs children. I helped teach one sign language so he could speak to us. I worked for them for 3 years. I only left because they divorced and the mom could not afford to pay me anymore. I worked for another couple who had 4 kids 4 dogs plus I helped clean the house. I worked there for 41/2 years. I drove their kids all over for their extracurricular activities. They will give me a great review or reference, so will the people I am with currently. I enjoy taking the kids outside, to the parks, cooking with them, doing crafts with them, playing with them, and just plain having fun. Thank you for your time.

I have been taking care of children since I was a young teen. I have been a Readiness 4's preschool teacher for the last 10 years. I hold a CDA credential and am First Aid and CPR trained.

Hi! My name is Shelby, and I bring over 10 years of hands-on experience working with children of all ages. I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education, and caring for kids has always been second nature to me. My background includes everything from infant care to helping with homework and planning fun, developmentally appropriate activities. Children tend to gravitate toward me, and I genuinely enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can thrive. Whether you’re looking for a dependable babysitter for date nights, weekends, or consistent care, I’d love to be a trusted part of your child’s routine.

I’ve been working as a nanny for almost four years, caring for children ages ranging in ages newborns to 13 years old. I always try my best to create a fun, safe, and supportive environment for the child in my care. Along with nannying i’ve also coached middle school cheer which i think has really helped me build stronger communication, leadership and teamwork skills. I really enjoy working with kids and love being someone families can trust.

I am a Christian woman with life experience. People and pets are my passion. I have been around children my whole life having raised two sons and a grandson. I’ve been involved with youth groups at church, and I have provided childcare publicly and privately. I am CPR and first aid trained. In this day and age life can be very hectic and at times difficult. In caring for anyone’s family my goal is to bring them love peace and stability. I not only consider it a privilege to care for children but also Take it very seriously. Thank you for your consideration. Lynda Norton

My name is Aislynn and I currently live in Kalamazoo, MI. I have an Associates Degree in Arts and Science from Montcalm Community College and I’m working to get my Bachelors in Early Education at Western Michigan University. Since I was little I always wanted to become a teacher. I was lucky enough to have a wonderful experience with one of my teachers and it made me realize that I want to give other children that same experience. I greatly enjoy working with younger kids and have quite a few years of experience. I work currently as a Lifeguard Lead and Recreation Employee at Sandy Pines Recreation Community. I am certified in lifeguarding and First Aid/CPR and used many of these skills while working. I also spent a lot of time working with children and helping set up and participate in many different activities for younger children. We do a lot of different crafts and games every day, always something new. We also have a daycare-like activity called kids club where we read stories, color pictures, play games, and do crafts together with kids from potty training to age 9 as well as pre-teen where we spend a lot of time outdoors playing different yard games. Another area this job required was working with food. I work in a concessions stand called Happy Shack where I make different meals and prep food for the day, occasionally leading and directing other employees and as a result of this I am well versed in food safety. I also have experience cleaning as I was a Residential/Commercial Cleaner and worked in an Assisted Living as a Housekeeper. Despite my work experience I was raised in a very chaotic home with four siblings and tons of pets. I love working with animals and have experience pet sitting as well. I love making crafts and coloring, watching movies, playing games, going outside and doing all kinds of activities. I enjoy singing and dancing and I play guitar as well. Ive been told that I am generally a very sociable person and I very much enjoy the company of others. I love meeting new people and fostering new relationships. I would love to meet you, your family, and your children and provide help in any way that I can. It’s hard finding someone you can trust and rely on to take care of the most precious things in your life. I want to give you peace of mind and create a fun and happy environment for you and the littles you care about.
