Hello! I love little kids! I work at a daycare with infants and toddlers during the week so I have lots of experience! I love playing and teaching with kids and I have learned a lot of fun activities to do with kids from working at daycare! I have a little experience with kids with special needs aswell. I’ve been babysitting for 8 years!

Hello I'm Leiah, I been working in the childcare for 2 years as a daycare assistant. I'm also CPR and Frist Aid certified. I mostly work with toddler but have basic knowledge on all kids. As a daycare assistant I often have to organize the room, do laundry, keep parents updated with posts, perform daily activities with kids, and insure a safe and happy environment. I enjoy watching kids grow and helping them develop. It's always a joy to be apart of a kids life.

I have worked professionally in childcare for over 20 years. Working as a private nanny or at day-care centers. I was a lead teacher in the 3 year old classroom at a local daycare. I have worked at two different after-school care programs. I was an Activities Director at a summer school where I tutored children and helped plan field trips. I am also certified in CPR and first aid.

My name is Leah, and I am twenty years old working on publishing three books while waitressing to bring in money. Having my first nephew at the age of eight I’ve grown up looking after kids and began babysitting very young which transferred into nannying later on, working for my church nursery, as well as the daycare at MVP Sportsplex where I became certified in First Aid and CPR. That’s over seven years of experience with children ages 0-12 years. I have a passion for taking care of little ones and giving them the love and care they deserve while their parents are away. My work is built on mutual respect and trust with parents to create a loving atmosphere for their children. Every child deserves to be heard and cared for lovingly, while this remains true I will kindly correct behavior to help each child grow. I would love to look after your children and help your lives be a little bit easier. I have reliable transportation and am comfortable driving kids. I love getting kids out of the house whether that is to a park or library. I will always clean around the house and am more than happy to assist with laundry or other household chores. Cooking and planning engaging and nurturing activities is something I am more than happy to do. Most of all I wish to give your child safe and nurturing care while their parents are away because I know it’s tough on little ones and I want nothing more than to help their time be filled with fun, love, and support!

Hello, my name is Julia Roberts and I’m 24 years old and I have nannied and babysat for many years. A little about me, I am a very adventurous and out going person with an empathetic and kind heart. I love children and watching them learn and grow into amazing people. I am very patient and respectful and would care for a child as if it were my own. I have two wonderful and loving parents and an older brother who I absolutely adore. My family would describe me as empathetic and happy and my friends would describe me as loyal and genuine. Im auntie to 3 little boys and two girls and I absolutely adore and miss them as I have moved away and now I’m in the Traverse City area. EXPERIENCE: I have nannied for 7 years with many different families with all ages of children from an infant to 15 years old. I would take care of the little ones all day, I would do breakfast, lunch and sometimes dinner with them, I’d do bath times, put them down for naps as well as engage and play with them or go on walks or to the park. I would also occasionally do household chores for the kiddos if needed like laundry and cleaning bottles and picking up their toys. I have volunteered in elementary class rooms and would help the children learn. I have also worked with special needs kids who couldn’t communicate in any type of way or who had anger problems. I’m very good with kids and love taking care of them. SKILLS: CPR and BLS certified: I have taken a CPR course in 2022 at a community college near me, and we practiced on how to do it with adults and infants. I have taken a child care class in college as well. We learned the basics, such as what to do if the child is sick or got hurt from doing something. We learned how to care for them on a daily basis or if it was something more serious such as if they were choking. I have life guard training, so I am a very good swimmer and I would be able to save a child if they got themselves into a situation where that was needed. I am fully Covid vaccinated. I have ALL my vaccinations up to date since I had taken a phlebotomy course through the hospital. I look forward to hearing from you on how I can help your little family grow!

Hi everyone! 😊 I’m a 19-year-old college student looking for a full-time, long-term nanny position starting at the end of June in the Caledonia, Grand Rapids, or Byron Center area! I know this may seem a little early to be posting, but I wanted to put this out there for families who may be looking ahead and hoping to find a nanny for the summer or upcoming school year. I’m currently in college studying Physical Education and Child Development, with plans to become a PE teacher after college. I’ve been working with children for about 7 years through babysitting, caring for younger family members, and working with local families. I also have two younger siblings who are 4 and 3 years old, so I’ve had lots of experience with little ones both personally and through babysitting. I’ve cared for children of all ages, but I especially love working with babies and toddlers (3 and under)! For almost 3 years, I’ve also worked at the YMCA in before/after-school childcare, where I work with children from young 5s through 4th grade. I help create a fun environment while incorporating age-appropriate activities and curriculum. I also completed Teacher Academy through Kent Career Tech Center, where I spent a semester in a 1st grade classroom and over a semester in an ASD classroom. I gained experience helping with lessons, working one-on-one with students, and providing behavior support. I’m CPR certified, have a clean driving record, and am comfortable with pets. I grew up with dogs and cats and would be more than happy to help with household tasks such as kids laundry, dishes, meal prep, and keeping the house tidy while caring for the children. I’m also happy to help with homework, activities, outings, and transportation. I’m hoping to find a family who is looking for a reliable, caring, long-term nanny who can stay with them through the school year. I’m looking for around 30–40 hours per week, ideally starting around 8 AM and finishing between 4–5 PM. I will be taking college classes during the school year, so having one weekday off for classes would be ideal, but I’m flexible and can work with a family’s schedule. My starting rate is $18/hour, depending on the number of children and responsibilities. I’m also happy to provide references from families I’ve babysat for as well as my Teacher Academy teacher. I’d love to connect and see if I could be a good fit for your family!
