Dawn J.
- 12 years paid experience

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 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

Hi all! My name is Maija and I am I 19 year old babysitter/nanny in Kalamazoo Michigan. I graduated in 2023 from Kalamazoo Central.

I have experience with special needs as well, please read the section on special needs for more details. I love to do arts and crafts! I also try to incorporate learning into play as much as I can. I have experience with home education as I did online schooling for most of high school through KPS.

For homeschooling families: I did online school all through high school and have helped families with their children's online schooling, if you're a homeschool family le me know and I would be glad to help out with schooling throughout the day. I also have experience teaching directly from curriculums I really love doing arts and crafts! It should be noted that on occasion I do involve paints or markers so having messy play clothes is essential. I also enjoy cooking and baking. I make lots of pancakes with the kids for breakfast. When babysitting one of my cousins we go on lots of adventures. We walk since I live half a mile from lots of stores. We recently visited the museum as well which was a fun adventure.

I am willing on taking children on adventures with proper consent and paperwork from the parents. I am also red cross safe swim certified.

I’m a mother of three (ages 11, 6, and 8 months) and have several years of professional experience caring for children from infancy through preschool age. I’ve worked with infants and toddlers in a daycare setting, served as a preschool assistant teacher at Gull Lake Schools for two years, and spent two summers working with PreK-5th grade at Gull Lake Summer Camp. I’m deeply passionate about children’s mental and emotional well-being, and I believe their formative years are the foundation for their future development. I strive to create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children feel valued, understood, and encouraged to grow. The only reason I stepped away from professional childcare was to stay home with my own baby.
