Find experienced nannies in Kalamazoo, MI

Hello! My name is Aimee, I am 20 years old and I am experienced in child care. I worked at a daycare in Springfield for almost a year with newborns and pre school aged children. The past two years I have been babysitting two boys part time and occasional weekends with a different family in Chatham who have 4 children. I am extremely reliable, trustworthy and up beat. All kids that I have worked with in the past seemed to take a quick liking to me.

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 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.

Hi all! My name is Maija and I am I 20 year old babysitter/nanny in Kalamazoo Michigan. I graduated in 2023 from Kalamazoo Central. In October 2023 I was a short term paraprofessional in an autism classroom with children ages 2.5-4.5. I have worked for various families with children ranging in age from 6 months to 12 years. 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. I have also assisted children with their online education as well as schooling prek-kinder using a curriculum. Currently I don't have my license. With that being said, I use Uber or metro often and have always arrived on time. I love to do arts and crafts! I also try to incorporate learning into play as much as I can. 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. Note: I currently am not licensed. When babysitting close family, I do walk with the children to stores or take Uber/Metro to farther away destinations. 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 have a passion for working with children with autism and helping them learn. I know loads about PECS and nonverbal communication.

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 Mikayla, and I would love to come hang out with your kiddos! I am currently getting my Master's degree in Social Work and am looking for a part-time job. I worked at a daycare this past summer with toddlers, and I absolutely loved it! The kids that I hung out with were so curious and funny, and it was so cool to watch them discover things every day! I am CPR and First Aid certified, and I am more than willing to include pet care and light housekeeping during my visits. I am a huge proponent on communication, and I love to encourage the kids that I work with to express their emotions, know that it's okay to be feeling big emotions, and to have someone who can comfort them anytime they need. I worked with 12 toddlers on a daily basis, so I am quick on my feet in times of need, and I know how to de-escalate situations. I would love to answer any questions you may have! Thanks for your consideration. :)
