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.

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! 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. :)

Hi! I’m Addison. I’m a college freshman at Central Michigan University majoring in Spanish and Biology: Biomedical, Cellular, and Molecular.

Hi! I’m Leah, a senior in high school who truly enjoys working with kids. Most of my experience comes from babysitting my younger cousins, and those moments are what made me realize how natural it feels for me to step into a caregiving role. I love being the person who can bring excitement, comfort, and fun into a child’s day, whether that means playing games or helping with homework. I currently work as a dining aid in a nursing home. The job has taught me so much about patience and responsibility. Even though I’m still building my babysitting experience, I’m eager to learn more about childcare and what it takes to support families in their day-to-day routines. I’m patient, responsible, and always willing to lend a hand. I’m also CPR certified! My goal is to make things easier for parents while creating a positive, enjoyable environment for their children. I’m excited to grow as a sitter and to be someone families can rely on, knowing their children are in good hands!
