Hi there my name is Aubrey, while I have plenty experience in a daycare setting I love the “family bond” a nanny job offers. I love all the ages as they’re all so different and fun!

In my free time I enjoy scrapbooking and spending time with family and friends and of course a little shopping! While your children are in my care I can assure you they’ll be safe and well taken care of as I have over 5 years of daycare experience as well as nannying for over 3 years.

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 all! My name is Kipper. I’ve been working with children professionally for almost 5 years but have been babysitting since middle school! I have experience with children ages 4 months to 5 years. I’m also very comfortable with pets and have my own transportation! I knew from a young age I wanted to work with children and/or animals. I didn’t have the most stable upbringing so I knew I wanted to be a safe and secure person to those without a voice of their own. I love the light in their eyes as they experience new things and their unconditional love. Working with kids is the highlight of my life and I’d love to work with yours!

Hi all! My name is Maija and I am I 20 year old babysitter/nanny in Kalamazoo Michigan. I graduated in 2023 from Kalamazoo Central.

When babysitting one of my cousins we go on lots of adventures. We walk since I live half a mile from lots of stores. We recently visited the museum as well which was a fun adventure.
