Hi! My name is Liv. I love being a sitter—not just because I get to care for children, but because I get to connect with so many unique personalities and watch them grow! Kids have a special way of seeing the world, and I believe they have just as much to teach us as we have to teach them. I have a strong background in babysitting, along with experience as an assistant teacher at a daycare and a few other child-focused roles. I’m passionate, reliable, and always ready to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment.

I'm Christina, I am a graduate of the University of Chicago, I have over 10 years of childcare experience, and I am currently looking for full or part time work. In my years working with children, I have babysat, I have nannied; live-in, full- and part-time, and I have taught swim lessons. I am CPR certified, and I have an Illinois Drivers License with a clean record. I have cared for children of all ages but have the most significant experience with newborns and toddlers, including overnights. I do not take lightly the honor it is to be in your home caring for your child. I have the babysitting experience-feeding, changing diapers, tummy time, stretching, soothing, developmentally appropriate play, bath time, CPR certification, tidying-but it is also my job to make sure that you are comfortable, and feel secure when you leave your child in my charge. While I have my own background and instincts I understand that there are as many ways to raise children as there are families! I never seek to impose my methods unless asked. This is your home and child, I am here to make things as seamless as possible for you and your child! If you are interested in learning more specifics about my work history please don't hesitate to message me!

Hello! My name is Alexis, and I’m a dedicated and passionate child care provider with over five years of hands-on experience. I am 20 years old and have earned my GED, along with multiple child care certifications. Working with children has been a lifelong passion of mine—something I’ve loved since I was a child myself. I like to describe myself as a “free-range nanny” because I believe in creating enriching, real-world experiences for the children I care for. Whether it’s attending story time at the library, exploring the Air Zoo, or cooling off at the local splash pad, I enjoy planning fun, educational outings that spark curiosity and creativity. I strive to keep kids engaged, active, and connected to the world around them. My goal is to foster a nurturing and supportive environment where children feel safe, loved, and empowered to grow. I celebrate every milestone—big or small—and take pride in helping each child build confidence, independence, and joy in their everyday lives. Child care is not just a job to me—it’s my calling, and I put my heart into everything I do.

My name is Mariah. Taking care of children has been my passion.  Allowing children to grow, explore and learn is a rewarding experience that keeps me excited as I continue caring for children of all ages. For many years I been working in daycares and working with kid at a after school program and working in school as assistant teacher and opportunities to meet many families and children of all ages.  I am honored to take care of the children I meet, and have a impact on their lives.  Let me know if you need anything please.

Hi! I have been working for over a few years with my primary school back home and an elementary school here in Kalamazoo. I have always loved kids and am going to school to become a children’s therapist. I am the oldest of four and am used to taking care of babies. I would volunteer in my churches nursery and I would watch my neighbors or family friends babies. I am a very bubbly and kind person and I can’t wait to work with you! I recently just graduated with my bachelors degree in social work and, will be returning for grad school shortly! I live in Jackson MI, and am not afraid to communicate.

I am a college graduate from Western Michigan University and my major is child and family development. I started babysitting when I was younger so I have a lot of experience. I’ve been an early learning professional for about 6 years. I worked with 0-3, preschool and school age children. I am also CDA certified.

Hi! I’m Savannah, a junior political science and psychology major at OU. I'm going to be studying abroad in New Zealand this fall! Meaning I'll be moving to Kalamazoo for a couple months before the move (September-November) and would love to offer some help to those in the area! I have years of unpaid & paid experience with children of all ages. My passion for childcare began with the care of my little brother, who’s quickly become my best friend and continues to inspire every day. That experience encouraged me to pursue a job in early childhood education as a preschool teacher. While I am no longer one, the skills earned from that are ones I continue to utilize today. I believe in creating a caring and inviting environment that allows for children to grow, feel safe and supported, and inspire them to use their creativity. I incorporate imaginative play, storytelling, and activities that motivate children to flourish cognitively, emotionally, and physically. In addition, I also have experience with individuals with special needs. I was raised by my grandparents who ran a foster care business for special needs individuals in our home. Being raised alongside them gave me a much more comprehensive and empathetic view of the special needs community and those in it. My goal as a caregiver is to facilitate an environment where the child feels seen, safe, and welcome to express themselves freely. That does not change if a child has special needs or not. Rather, I just approach those kids with a bit more patience and understanding in mind. All this being said, I also look to have fun! Experiences make long lasting memories that kiddos carry with them throughout their whole lives. I look forward to meeting your little ones and hope to play a positive role in their life.

Hello, my name is Dawn. I am 56 years young, married & a homemaker. I have a successful, 23 year old son & a wonderful husband. I have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 14 years old, from infants to pretweens, in addition to the experience of raising my own child full time. When he was old enough, neighboring & school friends would come over to our house, at which point I would then become the official babysitter for them. For the last 1-1/2 years, I have been babysitting a beautiful, intelligent 10 y/o girl, M-F every morning before school. I then drop her off at school & wait to make sure she is safely inside before I leave. Previous to this job, I was simultaneously a part time nanny to an adorable 16 month old little boy 2 days a week for 2 years, as well as a part time nanny 2 other week days to a sweet 3 y/o little guy & his 1 y/o adorable baby sister for 6 months. I love all my kids, and treat them as if they were my own. It always amazes me how little it takes to put a lot of joy in a child's day. I can provide that, as well as so much more. Every smile a child gives me puts joy in MY day. I took a baby care class at Bronson which included choking, bed, house & car safety. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am loving, caring, reliable, patient, honest & trustworthy. I will follow your every instruction to the letter. I will help you in any way I can if the opportunity arises or your little one is napping. I never take my eyes off of my kids. Even when they are napping, I check on them regularly to make sure they are safe. I would be honored, if given the opportunity to care for your little one. I am vigilant, loving & respectful. You can rest assured they will be left in the most diligent, reliable, loving and caring hands possible. I exemplify manners & respect. I will guide & encourage him or her through their next steps in the growth process, whatever those may be. Last but not least, my own rules: NO electronics on kid time! I am not on social media of any kind. No one texts me on a regular basis. No visitors! Never answer the door! Doors always locked! I will always have my phone close by in case you call me or I need to call you or in case of emergency. Thank you for your consideration. I wish you the best of luck in your search! Respectfully, Dawn JH

Hi, my name is Marissa, and I would love to tell you a little about myself. I am a huge animal lover, I love reading, swimming, and spending time with my family. I have been taking care of children since I was 16 years old. Some of the positions I've had were being a babysitter, a nanny, a mother's helper, and a daycare assistant. I am currently working on getting my Associate's Degree in Early Childhood Education. I have also taken many classes on how I can improve the care and well being of the children I take care of. I have experience taking care of children between the ages of 3 weeks old to 14-year-olds. I love coming up with fun arts and crafts projects that encourage creativity, going on fun and educational outings like going to the library, the museum, the beach, the zoo, going to events geared towards children, and many more places. I also enjoy coming up with fun activities to do: doing science experiments, baking, exploring the outdoors, going on walks, and reading
