Hello! My name is Aimee, I am 20 years old and I am experienced in child care. I worked at a daycare in Springfield for almost a year with newborns and pre school aged children. The past two years I have been babysitting two boys part time and occasional weekends with a different family in Chatham who have 4 children. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy and up beat. All kids that I have worked with in the past seemed to take a quick liking to me.

I have been working with kids and students since 2008 in a variety settings starting out as a babysitter and going into roles such as camp counselor, camp activity director, daycare teacher, tutor, Autism therapist, and I'm currently a school counselor for Lawton Community Schools. Looking for summer, break, or weekend work with awesome kids in Kalamazoo or the surrounding area.

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

I have always loved working with kids. Watching them learn and grow is always so exciting. I was the “Safety Captain” at my last day care center so safety is my top priority. I also obtained both CPR and First Aid training while working there. I’m currently going to school to get my Associates in secondary education. I have experience with diaper changes, tube feeds, meal prep, and bottles. I also know basic sign language to better communicate with infants and toddlers. I LOVED working with school aged kiddos, helping them with homework, and staying entertained. I am also very pet friendly and would be more than happy to take care of pet needs as well!! :)

Hi, I’m Aspen! I am a 19 year old college student. I have a part time job as a behavioral therapist for children with Autism, so I have a lot of experience working with kids! I have also babysat during the summer in high school. I am looking for a babysitting job because I love the memories I make working with kids and I am looking to pick up a few more hours of work.

I’m currently a full time EMT with experience in babysitting throughout high school. I love babysitting for many reasons but one of the top reasons is seeing how young minds learn and being able to see the world from their perspective. I have experience with both infants, toddlers and children as well as babysitting as many as 3 kids at once. I well trained and skilled in the heimlick maneuver and CPR with all ages due to my job.

I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has a unique personality, and it’s rewarding to build connections with them and see their confidence and creativity develop. I find joy in creating engaging activities and making sure kids feel cared for and supported. I have experience working as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging up to five children at a time, ranging from ages 2 to 14. In this role, I organized activities, ensured safety, and provided guidance tailored to each age group. This experience taught me how to manage different personalities and needs, keep children entertained, and maintain a positive and safe environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which means I am trained to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care if needed. I have strong skills in communication, patience, problem-solving, and multitasking. My background as a camp counselor gave me valuable skills in activity planning, behavior management, and conflict resolution, all while fostering a fun and nurturing atmosphere for children.

Hi! My name is Mikayla, and I would love to come hang out with your kiddos! I am currently getting my Master's degree in Social Work and am looking for a part-time job. I worked at a daycare this past summer with toddlers, and I absolutely loved it! The kids that I hung out with were so curious and funny, and it was so cool to watch them discover things every day! I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am more than willing to include pet care and light housekeeping during my visits. I am a huge proponent on communication, and I love to encourage the kids that I work with to express their emotions, know that it's okay to be feeling big emotions, and to have someone who can comfort them anytime they need. I worked with 12 toddlers on a daily basis, so I am quick on my feet in times of need, and I know how to de-escalate situations. I would love to answer any questions you may have! Thanks for your consideration. :)
