Hi! My name is Lauryn Roff! I am twenty-two-years old. I have been a nanny for the last six years and a babysitter for the last ten. I have had the opportunity to be a primary childcare provider at a daycare working inside their infant room. While there, I was responsible for four infants, ages one year and younger, full-time. Along with that, I have been a weekly volunteer in nurseries, daycares, and events for children and youth at my attending church, for the last ten years. I love children and my hope is to be a stay-at-home mom to a big family some day! It brings me so much joy to watch children grow and learn new things and I love being a part of the process!

Hi! My name is Emma. I have three siblings, and as the youngest, I grew up in a close-knit, family-oriented environment that helped shape my natural patience and love for working with children. I’ve been involved in childcare for just over four years, caring for children ranging from 2 months old to age 15. Through this experience, I’ve gained a strong understanding of age-appropriate care, safety, and the importance of structure and routine. I’m dependable, attentive, and calm under pressure, and I pride myself on creating a nurturing and positive environment where children feel safe, supported, and valued. I’m comfortable assisting with daily routines such as meals, naps, homework, playtime, and bedtime, and I always follow family guidelines closely. I value open communication with parents and provide updates to ensure peace of mind. I truly enjoy building meaningful connections with children and helping them grow, learn, and thrive in my care. I have several references available upon request.

With over five years of babysitting experience, I have had the privilege of working with children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers.

My passion for babysitting stems from my love of children and the joy I find in helping them grow, learn, and thrive in a safe and nurturing environment. Whether it’s creating fun activities for younger kids or helping teenagers with their schoolwork, I truly enjoy building meaningful connections and providing the best care possible. I am committed to ensuring that each child I care for feels supported, happy, and well-cared-for.

I have just recently signed up for online classes for early childhood development for as long as I can remember. I have wanted to help and the best way too help is to be the person you needed when you were younger. Now that statement can mean a million different things to everyone but too me that statement means someone too listen someone too laugh with or take my mind off things no child should've had too be thinking. I strive too make any child under my care feel safe understood and most importantly to me that i am their friend not their babysitter or nanny.

Hi there! I’m a child development and public advocacy major at Michigan Sate University with nearly 5 years of childcare experience. From 2016-2017 I worked as an intern and teacher aid for a kindergarten class room and from 2017-2019 I worked at an in home center. At first, I was hired as an assistant teacher but was promoted in my last year to assistant director. After a difficult goodbye in 2019, I then worked as a nanny for 2 boys ages 4 and 18 months until I eventually moved out of state from Michigan to Massachusetts at the end of 2019. Currently, I’m employed as a full time live in nanny for 2 amazing little girls— ages 6 and 3 full time. However, as the kiddos go back to school in September, I plan to move back to Michigan (or wherever opportunity takes me) with a family I fit into. I can’t wait to hear from you and your beautiful family!
