Hi! My name is Stephanie. I am a very loving, reliable and easy going nanny and have experience with all ages including newborns to young teens. I have my associates in Child Development and Early Childhood Education, am a certified Newborn Care Specialist as well as being CPR and First Aide certified. My experience with children includes working at a home based daycare for 4 years, homeschooling two young teens for a year, and have been a full time nanny/NCS for the last 2.5 years. I am a believer that children learn through play and taking advantage of “teachable moments.” I am passionate about building relationships with the families I work for and helping support a new and exciting season in their life!

Hello! My name is Riley & I just recently relocated to the east side of MI from Grand Rapids for my first Speech & Language Pathologist job. I just recently graduated with my Master’s degree from MSU. I also have a Bachelor of Science from Central Michigan University, & a minor in child development. CMU, I study Communication Sciences and Disorders with a minor in Child Development. A little bit about my experience: I have been nannying/babysitting since I was 14-I am now 24. I have experience with infants (2 months) to age 12, and love all of them! I am certified in CPR and First Aid, have my own car/clean driving record, am able to provide references and a background check upon request, and can cook/clean also upon request. I am also fully vaccinated against COVID-19. I have experience working with twins, multiple infants at a time (volunteered in my church nursery), as well as special needs children (ASD and downs syndrome to be exact). I love kids because they are so upbeat and positive, it is hard not to be happy around them! If you have pets, that's even more of a plus! I looove dogs and have grown up with dogs my entire life. I also am not a smoker! I recently traveled to Reggio Emilia, Italy as part of my Child Development minor and got to learn a lot about the Reggio Emilia/Montessori educational approaches and have since brought that back to the states and implemented it into the care that I give to those I nanny :) I look forward to hearing back from you!

Hi, my name is Rebekah :) I am a kind and creative person looking to help out families through babysitting! I love caring for others. Some of my favorite elements of babysitting include making arts and crafts, teaching ASL, playing games, and going outside to get some sunshine and fresh air. I value healthy eating and encourage the children I babysit to as well!

my babysitting style is making sure kids are enjoying the time we spend together but have them engaged in fun activities rather than watching movies or being on iPads the whole time.i like taking kids to the park so they can enjoy the outdoors or to museums so they can learn about art or history but also try and making it fun for them. I have been professionally nannying and babysitting for a little under 4 years now, the ages have usually been from newborn to 5years old. But I also feel very confident taking care of older children

I have a bachelors in Early Childhood Education and I have over fifteen years of experience as a caregiver. I have cared for twin infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and elementary age children.

Hello, my name is Kylee and I am 20 years old, I have 4 years experience as a babysitter, and 6 years in a professional childcare setting. I have been living in the Grand Rapids area for 2 years now and am looking for babysitting opportunities throughout September as I am saving for a trip abroad in October! I am CPR/First Aid certified, along with many other trainings I have received. I am also fully vaccinated, please let me know if I would be in any way helpful to you and I would love to help out! Thank you.

I love to have fun and be really silly! I have 3 adult children. Well 4 when you count my daughter-in-law. Who I consider as my second daughter! I am a grandma of identical twin girls! My little beauties! They are all the lights of my life! We are all very close and I’m very proud of all of them! I am a widow so my time is my own. I love children of all ages. I enjoy pets as well. I have a little pug named Frankie and a kitty named Bowdie. I’ve worked at daycares for years and thought I might try doing in home daycare. So took care of a family of five for over a year till they didn’t need me. Now I’m with a family of five again but only babysit 18 hours a week. I’m available Monday thru Thursday 9-3 and weekends. I’m up for anything anytime! I love to do whatever the children enjoy. After all it’s all their time. I don’t spend time on my phone or watch tv. I may have the tv on once in a while for a special movie or children’s program. I do however like to have music playing at times that we can dance to and just go a little crazy! I do like to know if you have specific activities you would like me to do and what your expectations would be. Thank you for considering me as a caregiver for your most precious possessions!! I will care for them as I would my own children. With much love!! Thx! Blessings! Also I love animals, all kinds. Also have had a background check done on this cite.

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!
