Find experienced nannies in Battle Creek, 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

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 have experience in the healthcare field, which has taught me how to stay calm in stressful situations, be super detail-oriented, and communicate clearly and kindly. These skills have really helped me when it comes to babysitting. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and I like getting creative. I like to play games, do crafts, read books, and go for walks outside. I also am able to help with any homework. I always try to create a safe, positive space where kids feel comfortable and happy! I’d love to get to know your family and see if I’d be a good fit!

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 have been teaching many grade levels this year. 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 15 months old. I have regularly babysat for date nights/events for a 9 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!

I’m almost 19 and currently a college student at KVCC studying Early Elementary Education. Over the next couple of years, I’m working toward becoming a certified Newborn Care Specialist and Postpartum Doula, and I’m looking to continue building my newborn experience and documented hours. I have over 5 years of experience babysitting infants and newborns, including caring for babies as young as 2 weeks old. I’m happy to provide references from families I’ve worked with! In addition to nannying and babysitting, I have 4.5 years of consistent experience volunteering in the infant room at Radiant Church. I’m well educated and experienced in safe sleep practices, feeding support, soothing techniques, recognizing baby cues, and understanding wake windows.

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!

I am a very patient and reliable person who has approximately 10 years of experience caring for children, from infants to school age children. I started my Child care experience by working part-time for a family with 3 children turned to 4. I also have previous experience working at Adventures Learning Center, a daycare where I have experience of engaging with a diverse group of children. I also worked as a nanny for two lovely little girls who just entered school/daycare and I am eager to work full time for another wonderful family.

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 plan to keep going to school after and plan on becoming a pediatric doctor. I have four years of child sitting experience, with ages three months to 12 years old. 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. I always like to leave a place cleaner than you left it (dishes in the sink, laundry in the wash, etc). I also have experience tutoring and love to help with homework. I love having fun with the kids I watch (hanging out with them not just watching them).

I am a warm, attentive, and experienced nanny with years of hands-on childcare experience in both Brazil and the United States. I have cared for children ranging from infancy to school age, including roles such as full-time infant care and multi-child households. I bring a calm, present, and creative approach to childcare, focusing on emotional connection, development, and curiosity. I enjoy engaging children through arts, music, storytelling, and hands-on activities, while also supporting healthy routines and structure. I take my responsibility as a nanny very seriously and provide reliable, loving, and fully present care. I still maintain strong relationships with the families of the children I have cared for.

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. This experience taught me how to manage different personalities and needs, keep children entertained, and maintain a positive and safe environment. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which means I am trained to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care if needed. 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.
