Find experienced nannies in Portage, MI

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

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 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 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!

I am an early childcare professional with 3.5 years of hands-on experience working in a licensed early childcare facility, where I’ve had the privilege of supporting children of various ages through some of the most important stages of their growth. Caring for children is truly my passion. I prioritize maintaining a safe, nurturing, and joyful environment where each child feels seen, supported, and encouraged. I also have strong, proficient experience in child development, and I’m committed to helping children learn and grow in ways that are developmentally appropriate, engaging, and productive for their unique needs. To me safety is most important above all else, ensuring that every child in my care is protected, respected, and treated with patience and understanding. My goal is always to provide gentle guidance, meaningful learning experiences, and the kind of care that helps every child thrive.

I love kids. I have two kids of my own, a 1 year old son and a 4 year old daughter. I have experience with children since I was 13 years old. Having children of my own, has taught me so much and how every child has their own personality and learns at their own pace. I can assure you that your child/children will be in good hands.

I love children so much, I had 4 of my own. I feel this gives me a lifetime of experience. I have worked with special abilities children for 10 years. I have also been an in home caregiver. Working with children has been a passion of mine for many years. I am a kind, compassionate and loyal worker. I have an up to date background check and fingerprinting through Edustaff I can provide. I also have a clean driving record. I know First Aid from working at a school, but I don’t have a certificate.

Hi, my name is India, I am 20 years old. I graduated with the class of 2023 from Kalamazoo Central High School. I enjoy working with and around kids as well as animals. I enjoy being in nature and doing artsy things. I have worked with kids of all ages from newborn to 11 years old and kids and adults with autism ages 3 to 24. I have always adored being around kids, toddlers, and infants so I feel this would be a good and exciting side job. I ask $16-$22 an hour but that may vary depending on distance and if special care is needed. I’m currently taking a break from school right now so I have more time. I have 2 jobs one working for a security company and providing assistance on Comstock busses through KRESA from 9-9:30 and again at 1pm-3:00pm and my other job working at PCEC from 3:30-6pm and always free on weekends. I look forward to hearing from you if you decided to allow me to sit for your family.

Hi! My name is Maria. I did not grow up with any siblings but always hoped for a younger sibling. Working with kids makes me feel like I have a built in best friend like a younger sibling. I radiate positivity and I love creating art, going on walks outside, dancing to music and doing all the things that make me happy! I have been working in a child care center for almost a year. I typically work with 8-10 kids ages 3 to 4 but I have experience with ages 2 to 5. I love working in a child care center but I am looking to work more one on one with 1 to 2 kids. I am CPR certified and have completed health and safety professional development courses. I am going to school starting in 2024 for early childhood education. Just a silly fun fact about me is I have a cat named Potato and I love the brand "Oh Snap pickles"
