Hi, my name is Kamea or Mea! I’m a fun, caring, and super reliable babysitter who genuinely loves working with kids and helping them learn, grow, and have a great time in a safe environment. I am in college for nursing and plan to grow my knowledge and pursue becoming a Neonatal Nurse Practitioner. 😁 I have experience working as a CNA/Patient care technician in multiple different healthcare settings, which has allowed me to develop empathy when caring for others, children or adults. My most recent experience was caring for a sweet little 3-month-old baby all the way until she was 9 months old, where I handled feedings, naps, diaper changes, and all the snuggles in between. I’ve also spent long stretches babysitting twin boys, which definitely kept me on my toes and helped me get really good at multitasking and keeping up with lots of energy! On top of that, I’ve cared for a 3-year-old girl during full-day hours (7am–4pm), where I planned meals, activities, and lots of fun playtime to keep her happy and engaged. I always aim to bring a warm, positive energy while making sure kids feel safe, supported, and excited for their day! If you would like to inquire more about my experience or you have any questions in general, please message me so we can speak one on one!!

Kamea showed up on time every time I needed her. She went out her way to cook even for me even though that wasn't her responsibility, after a long day at work that was very nice of her to have a plate. She kept my daughter happy and safe. You would be lucky to have her

To start off, I love kids! Making sure they are comfortable, safe and happy are my number one priorities as a sitter. I've had experience with all ages so I'm able to handle anything that's thrown at me. I have a bachelor’s degree in Psychology and have been working at PineRest for three years now. There I have cared for many different types of kiddos and have developed skills that allow me to be comfortable with anything! I look forward to working with you and your family!😊

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.

Hello, my name is Emma and I am ecstatic about the possibility of becoming a new supportive member of your family! Over the past few years, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the multifaceted nature of childcare through full time, in-home nannying, babysitting, teaching as a lead teacher in a preschool classroom and directing an after school program at Graveraet Elementary in Marquette, Michigan. In addition to receiving an associates in Early Childhood Development, I am also a certified Wilderness First Responder, Emergency Medical Technician and am AED certified. Throughout my years teaching and nannying I have been blessed with teaching children from a variety of developmental backgrounds and am prepared to fit whatever roll that needs to be filled in order to support you and your family! As an older sister, caring for my younger brother while helping on our family farm created an amazing base of understanding what it was to work hard and delegate time and care equally to a multitude of tasks. One of the most important attributes I am capable of emulating (my ability to go with the flow) comes from my solo cross-country traveling, international mission trip work and through those experiences, my personal realization that there is so much about life that is made for us as humans to enjoy and have fun with! I think that my perspective is particularly helpful for caring for children and assisting with helping them learn what it is to be themselves and explore the word around them. Thank you so much for considering my profile and, hope to hear from you soon!

I love to have fun and be really silly! I have 3 adult children. Well 4 when you count my daughter-in-law. Who I consider as my second daughter! I am a grandma of identical twin girls! My little beauties! They are all the lights of my life! We are all very close and I’m very proud of all of them! I am a widow so my time is my own. I love children of all ages. I enjoy pets as well. I have a little pug named Frankie and a kitty named Bowdie. I’ve worked at daycares for years and thought I might try doing in home daycare. So took care of a family of five for over a year till they didn’t need me. Now I’m with a family of five again but only babysit 18 hours a week. I’m available Monday thru Thursday 9-3 and weekends. I’m up for anything anytime! I love to do whatever the children enjoy. After all it’s all their time. I don’t spend time on my phone or watch tv. I may have the tv on once in a while for a special movie or children’s program. I do however like to have music playing at times that we can dance to and just go a little crazy! I do like to know if you have specific activities you would like me to do and what your expectations would be. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your most precious possessions!! I will care for them as I would my own children. With much love!! Thx! Blessings! Also I love animals, all kinds. Also have had a background check done on this cite.

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!

Hi! I'm looking to be a nanny or a Household Manager/Nanny for a family with good and open communication and a team effort in providing their children with care. I'd describe my personality as kind, funny, and warm. As an employee, I am dedicated, hard-working, and efficient and go above and beyond where and when I can. I like working with kids because I love to watch them grow! I love being creative and active. It fuels my purpose to watch them learn and achieve in a natural environment. I would be looking for a position with guaranteed hours and I can provide a resume and recommendation letter as well. I've worked in child welfare and was an ABA behavioral therapist before starting my journey as a nanny. I'm comfortable with pets and light housecleaning as my last position was in a Household Manager/Nanny role and feel comfortable switching between both. I look forward to connecting with you and answering any questions you may have!
