Hi! My name is Stephanie. I am a very loving, reliable and easy going nanny and have experience with all ages including newborns to young teens. I have my associates in Child Development and Early Childhood Education, am a certified Newborn Care Specialist as well as being CPR and First Aide certified. My experience with children includes working at a home based daycare for 4 years, homeschooling two young teens for a year, and have been a full time nanny/NCS for the last 2.5 years.

I’m currently working on my masters degree in early childhood development curriculum and instruction.

Hi, my name is Lavender and I’m 34 years old. I have been a career nanny since 2014 with experience dating back to 2007. I am from a small town in Michigan and have been living in Grand Rapids since 2016 when a live-in position brought me to the area. I have previously worked as a live-in nanny here in Michigan, as well as Hawaii California, Florida + North Carolina. I have extensive experience with newborns in particular, but primarily work with ages 0-2. I am CPR certified and know basic first aid skills (I am willing to become re-certified in first aid if need be). I began working with children at age 13 when I assisted in a family friend's daycare for two full summers. After that, I nannied for triplets during the summer at age 15. I babysat on and off until college, when I got my first full-time nanny job for infant twins. In between nanny jobs, I went back to the corporate world. I was hoping to get in some experience so that when I graduated, I'd have adequate experience to get a good job, but my favorite was always nannying. After graduating college, I worked two career jobs in accounting and finance, but after a year of working in the corporate world again, I decided that nannying was what I really enjoyed. I wasn't happy in my finance jobs and nannying makes me very happy. I adore working with children. I am a very outgoing, charismatic and caring person. I believe if you are happy doing your job, you will be even better at it and nothing makes me happier than working with children. I am currently working for a family full time and will be looking for my next position in August 2025. Feel free to message!

Hi! My name is Katherine, and I bring over 10 years of experience working with children of all ages, including 6 years as a preschool teacher. I’m passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, grow, and just be themselves. My background in early childhood education has taught me the importance of routines, creative play, and clear communication—not just with kids, but with parents too. Whether it’s helping with homework, reading bedtime stories, or engaging in arts and crafts, I always strive to make every moment meaningful. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, patient, dependable, and genuinely love what I do. Your child’s safety, happiness, and development are always my top priorities. I’d love the opportunity to be a trusted and supportive part of your family’s care team!

I currently work in a hair salon 3 days a week, and am looking for something to fill my time the rest of the days. I have prior experience working in a special needs nursing home as a resident aide. I have first aide training, and I am CPR certified as well. I am able to provide light housekeeping, and transportation if needed!

Hi there! My name is Rose. I have several years of experience caring for children, from being a live-in nanny for my three nephews (ages newborn to 8) to working as a camp counselor. I’ve also worked in healthcare, including in a Pediatric Emergency Room, and I currently serve as a research assistant in Pediatric Oncology. I’m applying to medical school this year and truly enjoy spending time with kids—whether that’s helping with homework, playing outside, or winding down with a bedtime routine. I’m available for occasional babysitting on evenings and weekends and would love to be a reliable extra set of hands for your family.

I have recently retired from the field of nursing and am happy to return to childcare. I have years of experience in caring for children of all ages from babysitting as a teen, I worked as a nanny for 2 years in high school, I’ve helped raise my goddaughter and cared for children of neighbors and friends through the years. I am flexible schedule wise and can help out with food prep, animal care, errands and light housekeeping.

Hi, I’m Isabella! I just moved to Grand Rapids and I’d love the chance to nanny or babysit for a local family. I’ve always loved being around kids — I took two semesters of child development in school because I plan to go into pediatrics. Right now, I’m taking a year off from school, but I’m eager to keep working with kids during this time. I grew up in a big family with five siblings, so I’ve had plenty of hands-on experience with kids of all ages. I’ve also worked as a nanny before, which taught me a lot about routines, keeping kids engaged, and supporting families day-to-day. I’m First Aid certified, patient, and dependable. I really enjoy building connections with kids and creating a safe, fun environment for them to grow and feel cared for. My goal is always to give parents peace of mind while making sure their kids are happy and well looked after. 😊

I have worked professionally in childcare for over 20 years. Working as a private nanny or at day-care centers. I was a lead teacher in the 3 year old classroom at a local daycare. I have worked at two different after-school care programs. I was an Activities Director at a summer school where I tutored children and helped plan field trips. I am also certified in CPR and first aid.

Hello, my name is Presley and I am 19 years old! Spending time with kiddos always brightens my day. I love coloring with them, singing and dancing, and especially learning new numbers and letters. As important as it is to learn new things and meet their developmentally appropriate needs, it is also important to have play time and have fun with them as well! Something that I take pride in and is probably my favorite part about spending my time with children is that I can create a fun, loving, safe, and welcoming environment for the to learn and be themselves in. We spend so much time with kiddos in a day as teachers, aides, babysitters, and more so we should make the best of those moments! I have been babysitting for family friends and neighbors since I was about 10 years old. I also am currently finishing up a job as a student aide in a classroom with 3-5 year olds.
