Hi! My name is Kyra Kennedy, and I am 18 years old. I recently graduated from Eaton Rapids high school and will be attending Olivet University this fall. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I am dependable, adaptable, very easygoing and enjoy staying active. I love reading and playing soccer, and I enjoy finding ways to keep kids engaged through outdoor activities, sports, games, and hands-on learning. I believe in building strong relationships with children while encouraging curiosity, creativity, and continued learning. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, reading stories, or relaxing with a movie, I strive to create meaningful and enjoyable experiences. I also love animals and have two dogs and three cats, so I am very comfortable around pets and happy to care for them as well. I also have a reliable source of transportation and look forward to getting to know your family! Relevant experience where I also cared for children were I have experience working with children of different ages and abilities through several school and community programs. As a mentor in a pre-K classroom, I spent an hour each day helping young children learn and participate in activities. I also participated in Interact, a community service program where I regularly worked with preschool and elementary-aged children through various activities and events. These experiences have helped me develop patience, responsibility, communication skills, and a genuine passion for working with kids. My experience with special needs children… Through my high school’s LINKS program, I worked closely with students with special needs in a hands-on classroom setting. For one hour each day, I partnered with students to help them learn, participate in classroom activities, develop social skills, and build confidence in everyday situations. In addition to working directly with students, I completed coursework focused on understanding different disabilities, sensory needs, communication styles, and strategies for providing support in a respectful and inclusive way.

Greetings Parents and Guardians, First -- I'm old. I have kids of my own who are overseas with their mom now. So, I'm checking out this site as a way to be there for other kids while mine are away. On the downside, I may be a little out of touch with recent trends. On the upside, it is unlikely that I haven't dealt with any situation that could come up during a babysitting gig. (I mean, how many babysitters do you know that have removed both scorpions and cobras from their homes before breakfast?) I began babysitting when I was 10 until about my junior year of high school. (It was the 80's. Our parents told us it was OK to drink from the garden hose, too, so why not?) As a dad, I am familiar with the range of care needed for kids. Just as important, being a parent and a former teacher makes me constantly look for ways to teach my kids. Sometimes, the most important lessons are not part of a lesson plan. Beyond that, I have a long history in different types of care professions. I worked as a mental health worker for 10 years, where I did all types of care for our patients, While working as a mental health worker, I also was a Red Cross volunteer. Though I don't have current certifications, the basics of CPR & First Aid will be seared into my brain for the rest of my life. Oh, I also taught the babysitting class for the Red Cross. (It was always a fun class. The kids were all so excited and nervous to make sure that they learned how to be good babysitters.) I worked as a teacher overseas for 13 years, (which is why my girls are in Thailand now). In that time, I worked with kids ranging from preschoolers to university students. There were several times while teaching English to Vietnamese preschoolers that situations required me to deal with them like a dad instead of a teacher. (Situations like a child stumbling and getting hurt. Since I couldn't soothe the child in their mother tongue, I would let them sit on my knee and wrap an arm around them for comfort as I continued the lesson. Several of my Vietnamese coworkers were surprised until (through the preschool's translator) I explained that I was a dad, and sometimes kids don't need words, but just a little love. If you don't mind, I would ask that you please contact me first with a text message, as I still get a dozen or so scam calls a week. Also, I have quite the beard at the moment as I am looking into being a store Santa Claus this year. Thank You, Jeramee

Good day to you and your family! My name is Nancy,I come from Florida. During my time there I worked in the education setting for 4 years as a teachers assistant and afterschool teacher. I also lead summer school classes that consisted of daily activities from ages 5-11years of age. I also have experience in working with children from infancy to toddler from working in a daycare! Being around kids is always fun and a new experience. There is never a dull moment with them as every child has their own personality! Helping them grow and navigate this world can be challenging at a young age but with care and understanding I think they can grow to be the best version of themselves.
