Hello families! My name is Brianna, and I am 27 years old. I recently moved to the Kalamazoo Area from Southwest Michigan. I love anything outdoors, spending time with family and friends, and my dog who just turned a year old. I have been a preschool teacher full time for the past 4 years and absolutely love it! Working in childcare has given me experience with all age groups of children from infants to school age. I currently work at a Christian Preschool in Kalamazoo, and plan to further my education in Early Childhood. I am CPR/First Aid certified and also have a valid Child Development Associate Certification. I have a reliable vehicle for transportation, typically have evenings and weekends free, and I'm pet friendly too! I can’t wait to bring my nurturing, calm, and playful energy to your family!

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

Hi! My name is Serena Solis and I am super excited to meet and love on and watch over your little ones. :) I am currently 26 and have been babysitting since I was 13. I am one of 10 kids (yes, you read that right) and I have been helping take care of my little siblings practically my entire life (including newborn twins at 14!) outside of my family I have been babysitting for my family’s friends since I was 13. Outside of babysitting I volunteer in my church’s Sunday School for 11 years (in the nursery and elementary school ages) and I have also been a camp counselor for preschoolers- middle schoolers for years. I love all things girly and fun like American Girl & Barbie and painting nails but I also have 6 brothers and am down to always be outside or playing Mario Kart. My babysitting approach usually depends on the parent’s schedules and what you are comfortable with! I am happy to abide by any rules or schedules you have for your kiddos. I am currently looking for some part time babysitting work here and there. I usually work 8-5 M-F. I am flexible and am happy to answer any and all of your questions!
