Hi, my name is Lavender and I’m 34 years old. I have been a career nanny since 2014 with experience dating back to 2007. I am from a small town in Michigan and have been living in Grand Rapids since 2016 when a live-in position brought me to the area. I have previously worked as a live-in nanny here in Michigan, as well as Hawaii California, Florida + North Carolina. I have extensive experience with newborns in particular, but primarily work with ages 0-2. I am CPR certified and know basic first aid skills (I am willing to become re-certified in first aid if need be). I began working with children at age 13 when I assisted in a family friend's daycare for two full summers. After that, I nannied for triplets during the summer at age 15. I babysat on and off until college, when I got my first full-time nanny job for infant twins. In between nanny jobs, I went back to the corporate world. I was hoping to get in some experience so that when I graduated, I'd have adequate experience to get a good job, but my favorite was always nannying. After graduating college, I worked two career jobs in accounting and finance, but after a year of working in the corporate world again, I decided that nannying was what I really enjoyed. I wasn't happy in my finance jobs and nannying makes me very happy. I adore working with children. I am a very outgoing, charismatic and caring person. I believe if you are happy doing your job, you will be even better at it and nothing makes me happier than working with children. I am currently working for a family full time and will be looking for my next position in August 2025. Feel free to message!

Hi! My name is Jess and I’ve always enjoyed working with kids—I'm responsible, patient, and genuinely love helping children learn and have fun in a safe environment. I’ve been babysitting for about 7years caring for children ranging from infants to pre-teens. Over the years, I’ve babysat for family friends, neighbors, and regular clients, handling everything from diaper changes and meal prep to homework help and bedtime routines. In terms of training, I’m certified in CPR and First Aid, and I’ve also completed a babysitter training course which covered child development basics, emergency procedures, and safety best practices. I also have some experience with children who have special needs and am comfortable following any specific routines or instructions parents provide. I take my role seriously, but I also like to make babysitting fun—whether that means reading stories, doing crafts, or organizing simple games. I'm also great at keeping things tidy and following the household rules parents set.

I love kids especially babies. I also love animals so if you have an animal I’m totally cool with that. I love babysitting, nannying, riding horses, seeing my boyfriend, playing with kids, and taking fun drives for fun! I’m a very honest, and loyal person and I’m also hardworking. I love to do my job the best I possibly can. I have been trained to do CPR and Heimlech. I really love kids so if you are looking for a full time nanny I am ready to see what we can do!!

I have had a lot of experience in the past with working with kids. I’ve nannied for a summer, volunteered in nursery for 6 years, and babysat for 5. I have worked with many different kids, all ranging in age and development. I have taken child development classes at school and helped in special education classes. I am not cpr or first aid certified, but have grown up around nurses and worked with kids long enough to be able to know and understand what is going on and how to care for them in certain situations.

Hello! I am 20 years old and am studying marketing at Western Michigan University. I have nannied for two families and have enjoyed babysitting in the past.

Greetings my name is Hazel, I'm a South African living in the USA, I came to America awhile ago as an au pair and have been au pairing for many beautiful families as I travel from state to state, I'm currently in Kentwood Michigan and hoping to match with another amazing family that I can assist in making their lives easier. My love for kids is through the roof, I was raised in a big family where I made it my duty to be present for all the kids I was surrounded by, so I've been doing this for as long as I can imagine. I am a great listener and a big believer of treating children as humans having a human experience, with real life emotions that matter. I would love to connect with a family that understands this. I am also very informative so definitely look forward to getting pictures and updates of our daily activities as I feel this allows a parent the comfort knowing they are not missing out on their child's life. Communication is key and I make it a priority to have crucial conversations with children and parents that way we are all on the same page. Happy connecting with you. Hazel
