We found Melody on SitterCity 2 years ago and she has been our go-to-nanny/babysitter ever since. Melody is always energetic and is full of wonderfully creative and fun (non-TV) activities for the kids to do. Both our boys (and the neighborhood kids!) adore Melody and look forward to her coming to see them. We trust her completely in our home and with our children - she cared for our then 2 yo son for 2 weeks in our home when my husband and I had to travel overseas. She is always prompt and reliable, and has impeccable references. Melody has always worked with us re: discipline and will enforce our rules while we are gone - something not all nannies/babysitters feel comfortable doing. We are transplants to Charlotte and do not have family to rely upon when we need childcare. Melody fills that gap for us. There is noone I would trust more completely than her when it comes to our home and our children. We feel lucky to have her.

Cecilia P., Child Care in Dowling, MI 49050 with 10 years of paid experience

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 have been teaching many grade levels this year. 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 15 months old. I have regularly babysat for date nights/events for a 9 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!

Addison B., Child Care in Dowling, MI 49050 with 4 years of paid experience

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).
