Katelyn  H., Child Care in Sparta, MI 49345 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi my names Kat! I have been working with kids now for years. I have worked at daycares, childcare centers and been a personal nanny. I currently live in GR (Grand Rapids) and am working as a preschool teacher. I have experience working with kids that are on the spectrum or special needs. I have worked with kids age ranging from new born to teenagers. Currently have CPR training, blood born pathogens and first aid training. I love working with kids/families and have been for years. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work and enjoy working as a team with families to ensure healthy development for their children. I love animals of all kinds and I am very outgoing, caring and laidback. I also do own a car so transportation isn’t a problem. Feel free to message me about any questions you may have. More than happy to do in-person or virtual meetings to see if I am a good fit.

Katelyn H. is very friendly, prompt, and provides structure for my children. They enjoy knowing that she is coming and I feel at ease knowing she is there with them. She keeps them on task when needed and allows them fun treats like movie days with popcorn. She establishes her own rewards system to keep the children motivated and well behaved. My older daughters think she is great, too! Katelyn has become a valuable asset to our household and we are happy to have her!

Maricela R., Child Care in Sparta, MI 49345 with 10 years of paid experience

Do your kids love to be active? Well you have found the perfect sitter! I love being outdoors; going for walks, riding bikes, going to the park, catching bugs. I have been a nanny for the past 6 years and have been with my current family for 4 and a half years. They are transitioning to preschool so my schedule has opened up! Over those years I have babysat for many family’s and have nanny for 3 as well as my current family. I worked in the church nursery all throughout middle and high school. During high school I coached gymnastics at R Athletics. After that I worked in healthcare for a few years and coached middle school cheerleading at Kenowa Hills for a couple years. I have always had a passion for children from making crafts to learning how to ride a bike and everything in between. I currently am a server at Margaux so my schedule does vary so I am looking more for an occasional sitter position if that sounds like something that would fit your family please reach out!!

Maricela has been our primary nanny/sitter since our now 4.5 year old was 3 months. Over the years, she has become so much more than a babysitter—feels like part of our family. Marissa has been there for so many stages of Weston’s childhood, and we have always felt completely comfortable and confident leaving him in her care. She has traveled with us multiple times. She has assisted us with party planning, moving, and other home tasks beyond the usual sitter duties.

Kylee was a life saver - we needed a last minute sitter to help us while we unpack a moving truck. Arriving right on time, our 3yr old twins took to her right away. She had a playful but watchful manner with the boys. I will be calling Kylee again in the future.

Anna is the best! She was incredibly responsive, punctual, and helpful from start to finish. Most importantly, she was fun and engaging with the kids, who had an absolute blast and couldn't stop talking about how much they enjoyed their time with her. We felt completely at ease knowing they were in great hands. We would happily recommend her to other families and look forward to working with her again!

Hi there! My name is Amy, and I'm an 20-year-old student attending University where I'm pursuing a degree in teaching.

I believe in the importance of staying active, both physically and mentally, and enjoy organizing games, crafts, and outdoor activities to keep kids engaged and entertained. With a patient and caring demeanor, I strive to build trusting relationships with both children and parents. I understand the responsibility that comes with caring for your little ones and am committed to ensuring their well-being and happiness while in my care.
