Hi! My name is Grace Ingabire, and I'm a Michigan State University alumna with many years of childcare experience. Throughout college, I worked in several licensed childcare centers and also babysat for many wonderful families. Caring for children has always been something I genuinely love, and I'm passionate about creating a safe, fun, and nurturing environment where kids can learn, play, and thrive. I come from a big family with 11 siblings, so caring for children has been a part of my life for as long as I can remember. I have experience caring for infants through school-aged children, including twins, and I'm comfortable managing multiple children at once. Whether it's tummy time with a baby, reading books, helping with homework, planning fun activities, or spending time outdoors, I enjoy supporting each child's unique personality and development. Families describe me as dependable, patient, energetic, and compassionate. I take pride in Read more building trusting relationships with both children and parents and always strive to create a positive, reliable experience for every family I work with. In addition to childcare, I'm happy to assist with meal preparation, light housekeeping related to the children, school pick-up and drop-off, organizing play areas, and helping keep daily routines running smoothly. My goal is to make life a little easier for parents while ensuring their children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have completed several years of professional childcare training while working in licensed childcare facilities. I have a clean background with no criminal record and an excellent record with every family I've worked with. I am currently looking for a consistent nanny position, but I am also available for occasional babysitting. If you're looking for someone who is caring, experienced, dependable, and genuinely enjoys working with children, I'd love the opportunity to meet your family. I look forward to hearing from you!
