Hello! My name is Liz Suggitt. I am 27 years old and have had many experiences working with children from different age groups. I have provided childcare for four different families in the past and have enjoyed getting to know each of those families during the time that they needed care. I love working with children and have had quite a bit of experience working with multiple young children at the same time. I also have volunteered at my church throughout the years in different children's programs and really enjoy working with children from all different backgrounds. I enjoy caring for children of all ages, playing games both inside and outside, doing crafts, reading, swimming and preparing meals and snacks. One of my past jobs that I had was working as a delivery driver, and through that I have obtained plenty of driving experience while keeping a clean driving record so I feel very comfortable handling pick-ups/drop-offs. I am available for the days that you need me and I also have a flexible schedule if you need childcare on any other days. Thank you for your thoughtful consideration and I'm looking forward to hearing back from you! Liz Suggitt

Hi! My name is Kami! I am a 21 year old college student studying to become an elementary school teacher. I’ve always loved working with kids, and i’m passionate about helping them learn and grow. I have experience in the healthcare field, which has taught me how to stay calm in stressful situations, be super detail-oriented, and communicate clearly and kindly. These skills have really helped me when it comes to babysitting. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and I like getting creative. I like to play games, do crafts, read books, and go for walks outside. I also am able to help with any homework. I always try to create a safe, positive space where kids feel comfortable and happy! I’d love to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit!

My name is Cecilia Provins. I am originally from Indiana, but moved to Kalamazoo for school! I recently graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education! I am the oldest of 8, which has heavily influenced my love for children & teaching. As for experience, I was the mother figure in my family for several years. My youngest sibling is only 6 months old. I have regularly babysat for date nights/events for a 5 year old boy, as well as a three year old girl. I am very patient & caring for others, as well as dependable. I will not be attending school over summer, so I am looking for a part-time job that aligns with my love for teaching. I can easily create small lessons that will help with social-emotional learning, or subject learning as a whole! Learning should be fun & I’d love to incorporate that in our time together! It is summer, so I would like the ability to spend time outdoors (go to the park, etc.). Thank you in advance!

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).

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.
