I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has a unique personality, and it’s rewarding to build connections with them and see their confidence and creativity develop. I find joy in creating engaging activities and making sure kids feel cared for and supported. I have experience working as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging up to five children at a time, ranging from ages 2 to 14. In this role, I organized activities, ensured safety, and provided guidance tailored to each age group.

I have strong skills in communication, patience, problem-solving, and multitasking. My background as a camp counselor gave me valuable skills in activity planning, behavior management, and conflict resolution, all while fostering a fun and nurturing atmosphere for children.

My name is Cecilia Provins. I am originally from Indiana, but moved to Kalamazoo for school! I recently graduated from Western Michigan University with a Bachelor’s in Elementary Education! I am the oldest of 8, which has heavily influenced my love for children & teaching. As for experience, I was the mother figure in my family for several years. My youngest sibling is only 6 months old. I have regularly babysat for date nights/events for a 5 year old boy, as well as a three year old girl. I am very patient & caring for others, as well as dependable. I will not be attending school over summer, so I am looking for a part-time job that aligns with my love for teaching. I can easily create small lessons that will help with social-emotional learning, or subject learning as a whole! Learning should be fun & I’d love to incorporate that in our time together! It is summer, so I would like the ability to spend time outdoors (go to the park, etc.). Thank you in advance!

Hi! My name is Kami! I am a 21 year old college student studying to become an elementary school teacher. I’ve always loved working with kids, and i’m passionate about helping them learn and grow.

I am a recent highschool graduate and am graduating Kellogg Community College this spring with my associates in science (by being in the early college program).

I also have my first aid and CPR certifications. I have experience with scheduled nannying with twin boys and I have a lot of experience with periodic sitting for all ages.
