A little bit about me

Hello! I am a freshman volleyball player at Kalamazoo College, and I'm currently considering studying business. I grew up babysitting my niece, nephew, and baby sister which began my love for working with kids. In addition I ran my high schools volleyball kids camp for 3 years. Through one of my current college courses we started volunteering at and tutoring kids at El Concilio which made me consider babysitting during my off season. I have acquired many skills from my sport including time management, organization, attentiveness, and lots of patience. And most importantly I am looking forward to meeting and connecting with you and your families!!

A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Ashton, and I’m a nurturing, creative nanny with a strong passion for early childhood development. I truly enjoy spending time with children and love engaging them through hands-on activities like arts and crafts, nature walks, and imaginative play. I’m especially inspired by the Montessori approach, which encourages independence, curiosity, and respect for a child’s natural development. I always strive to create a calm, supportive environment where children can explore at their own pace and feel safe, seen, and encouraged. I'm excited to bring my energy, creativity, and care to a family that values connection, learning, and joyful everyday moments.

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Estella Cronen, and I just finished my freshman year at Miami University in Ohio. I’ve been babysitting and nannying for the past 4 years and had a regular babysitting job during the school year. I truly love spending time with kids and enjoy creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment for them.

I'm CPR and First Aid certified, and I’m a responsible driver with a clean record—happy to help with school pickups, activities, or errands. In addition to childcare, I can assist with tutoring, homework help, and light household tasks. I'm comfortable working with kids of all ages and always aim to make their day fun, active, and positive.

I’m excited to combine my love for working with children and my creativity in a part-time nanny role—helping little ones learn, laugh, and enjoy each day to the fullest. I look forward to meeting your family!
