A little bit about me

Hello! I am a highschool senior in the Muskegon/Grand Haven area. I’m working towards my early childhood degree! Kids are my passion. I spend my mornings doing internships with local childcare centers. I’m looking for a babysitting/nanny job. I have most experience with 2-6 year olds, and I am CPR certified. I’m available on weekdays after 4, and I have full availablity on weekends. I love coloring, playing Barbie’s, singing & dancing and all the fun things😁

I have my own car that I could provide transportation to school, sports, and clubs, etc. I don’t mind cleaning around the house, homework — anything to help.

I love being active and spending time outside and would make sure to incorporate it into the child’s day. I love to help kids with reading, playing outside, baking, doing puzzles, etc. I am a hands-on sitter and I always strive to make sure the children are engaged and having fun. I believe it is important to enforce the same expectations as the parents do.
