Hi! My name is Kate, and I am a 22-year-old recent MSU graduate. I have been babysitting/nannying for about 9 years now. I have extensive experience working with children from 4 months to 14 years. I consistently babysat for a family of 3 for about 4 years, and I enjoyed watching the kids grow up and being such an important part of their lives. I love working with children and helping them learn and grow. I am very creative, energetic, patient, and open-minded. I love fostering kids' creativity through imaginative play. Last summer I was selected for an internship with the Girl Scouts as their Environmental Education Coordinator. With this experience, I was able to foster a love of nature in kids and help them safely explore the outdoors! I also gained my Wilderness First Aid certification which includes CPR and First Aid training. Along with being extremely well-versed in child care, I am also comfortable with pets. I have grown up with both cats and dogs and worked at a dog training facility for a summer during high school. I also have my own transportation and am comfortable taking the kids to their activities or on fun outings. I cannot wait to get to know you and your family!

Hello, my name is Raphael, and I am in my third year at the University of Michigan. My availability is pretty open in the afternoons, and I have nothing on Fridays and many weekends free. I also have a car so I’m free to pick up kids and take them places as needed. I have been babysitting for 7 years, I started babysitting as a mother’s helper watching an 11 month old at 13 years old. In addition, starting at age 14 I worked as a teacher at my local religious school, working with all kids aged 3-13, including those with disabilities. Finally, the past 2 summers, I have worked with kids 5-15 at a week-long summer day camp. Besides these organized jobs, I have worked for numerous families during the past 6 years. I pride myself on the attention I give to each individual kid, and ensuring that kids are having a blast and getting along with one another. In addition, I aim to be a role model for kids, allowing them to enjoy themselves as much as possible, while following all rules to ensure their safety. I show up on time, never leave early, and can be flexible to stay late if needed. I would be happy to provide recommendation letters from any past employer, please feel free to ask! Please reach out if you have any additional questions! I hope to meet you and your kids soon!

Hello everyone! My name is Shanna and I am 28 and currently a grad student at Michigan State University majoring in Child Development. I received my bachelors from MSU in 2019 and majored in Child Development as well! I currently work at the MSU Child Development Laboratories, however, because of being an MSU student, I can only work so many hours for MSU. I have been in child care since I was 11, when I received my certificate from the Red Cross. I have taken care of children anywhere from newborn to 12 years old. I am more than willing to help with other household necessities, such as cleaning, laundry, cooking and transportation. Thanks! Shanna
