Find experienced nannies in Augusta, MI

Hello, my name is Dawn. I am 56 years young, married & a homemaker. I have a successful, 23 year old son & a wonderful husband. I have been babysitting children of all ages since I was 14 years old, from infants to pretweens, in addition to the experience of raising my own child full time. When he was old enough, neighboring & school friends would come over to our house, at which point I would then become the official babysitter for them. For the last 1-1/2 years, I have been babysitting a beautiful, intelligent 10 y/o girl, M-F every morning before school. I then drop her off at school & wait to make sure she is safely inside before I leave. Previous to this job, I was simultaneously a part time nanny to an adorable 16 month old little boy 2 days a week for 2 years, as well as a part time nanny 2 other week days to a sweet 3 y/o little guy & his 1 y/o adorable baby sister for 6 months. I love all my kids, and treat them as if they were my own. It always amazes me how little it takes to put a lot of joy in a child's day. I can provide that, as well as so much more. Every smile a child gives me puts joy in MY day. I took a baby care class at Bronson which included choking, bed, house & car safety. I am CPR & First Aid certified. I am loving, caring, reliable, patient, honest & trustworthy. I will follow your every instruction to the letter. I will help you in any way I can if the opportunity arises or your little one is napping. I never take my eyes off of my kids. Even when they are napping, I check on them regularly to make sure they are safe. I would be honored, if given the opportunity to care for your little one. I am vigilant, loving & respectful. You can rest assured they will be left in the most diligent, reliable, loving and caring hands possible. I exemplify manners & respect. I will guide & encourage him or her through their next steps in the growth process, whatever those may be. Last but not least, my own rules: NO electronics on kid time! I am not on social media of any kind. No one texts me on a regular basis. No visitors! Never answer the door! Doors always locked! I will always have my phone close by in case you call me or I need to call you or in case of emergency. Thank you for your consideration. I wish you the best of luck in your search! Respectfully, Dawn JH

I have been working with kids and students since 2008 in a variety settings starting out as a babysitter and going into roles such as camp counselor, camp activity director, daycare teacher, tutor, Autism therapist, and I'm currently a school counselor for Lawton Community Schools. Looking for summer, break, or weekend work with awesome kids in Kalamazoo or the surrounding area. I love doing crafts, playing outside, doing archery, reading, or playing video games with young kids.

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

I genuinely enjoy taking care of kids. They’re funny, honest, and you never know what they’ll say or do next. I love creating a space where they feel safe, understood, and cared for. Being trusted by a family means a lot to me, and I really do enjoy becoming someone their child feels comfortable with. I’ve worked with children of different ages, from babies to older kids, and I’m comfortable with pretty much any routine feeding, bottles, diaper changes, bath time, homework, bedtime, and keeping them busy with activities. I’m patient, responsible, and I always try to make things feel calm and fun at the same time. I’m dependable, good at communicating, and really attentive to the needs of both the kids and the parents. I also have basic safety knowledge like CPR/first aid awareness, and I stay calm if anything unexpected comes up.

Creating a safe and loving environment for children is a goal that I have for every family that I step into. Being active and engaging with creative minds is mostly how I connect with children. I am more than comfortable with infants and young children. I have experience as a nanny, in school settings and as an RBT for kiddos 2-8 with autism. Safety is also always a priority when being around young children. I can't wait to hear from you, thanks!

Recently retired from 31 years of service with General Motors. I’ve moved back to Kalamazoo to care for my mom. She is the only family I have left, and I want to cherish the golden years. However, I’m not ready to be completely retired, therefore I’m available for your child/pet/household needs. I am independent, motivated and responsible. I pay attention to details and have excellent time management skills. Cooking meals and keeping up with the laundry are not a problem. Keeping your home running, as if you never left. Safety first, is my top priority and I believe that all accidents are preventable, if you take 2 for safety first. Your home is your sanctuary, as is mine. Therefore, I will treat your property with utmost respect. I’m extremely seasoned, and I have been taking care of families for years, families that are now my family. I take pride in myself and my appearance. I show up on time ( 10 minutes before starting work), and I will always keep you updated about your household, while you are away. I will never post anything about you, or your family, or anything related to my work. I am very aware of the importance of privacy and the safety of your family. I was raised in a different time, and I am thankful for the village it took to raise me. I hope I can be a part of your village. Sincerely, Ms Kerry

Hi, my name is India, I am 20 years old. I graduated with the class of 2023 from Kalamazoo Central High School. I enjoy working with and around kids as well as animals. I enjoy being in nature and doing artsy things. I have worked with kids of all ages from newborn to 11 years old and kids and adults with autism ages 3 to 24. I have always adored being around kids, toddlers, and infants so I feel this would be a good and exciting side job. I ask $16-$22 an hour but that may vary depending on distance and if special care is needed. I’m currently taking a break from school right now so I have more time. I have 2 jobs one working for a security company and providing assistance on Comstock busses through KRESA from 9-9:30 and again at 1pm-3:00pm and my other job working at PCEC from 3:30-6pm and always free on weekends. I look forward to hearing from you if you decided to allow me to sit for your family.

Hi! I’m Megan, and I’ve been caring for children for over 20 years, starting with my own nieces and nephews, including twins and a child with a serious heart condition. Over the years, I have discovered a deep passion for supporting children not just in everyday life, but also through life’s most challenging moments. I specialize in helping children and teens navigate grief, loss, and difficult emotions, creating safe and nurturing spaces where they can feel understood, supported, and empowered. I hold certifications in First Aid, CPR, and Early Childhood Education, and I’ve coached Little League for five years. I also have experience helping children with learning differences, including dyslexia, and I design activities that encourage growth, creativity, and learning in ways that meet each child’s individual needs. I’m creative, patient, and intentional in everything I do. From arts and crafts to unique learning games, I enjoy creating fun and meaningful projects that help children explore, learn, and process their emotions. I’m flexible with children of any age and comfortable supporting kids through any challenge, whether big or small. I’m currently pursuing my Master’s in Social Work (MSW) to deepen my ability to help children and teens process grief and trauma. I’m seeking a full-time nanny position where I can utilize my experience, compassion, and creativity to support your family. I’m fully licensed and insured, with a 4-door Jeep Wrangler ready for safe transportation to school, activities, or adventures. If your child is navigating loss or facing challenges, I provide a safe, caring, and fun environment that helps them grow, heal, and feel truly seen.
