"Leah watched my 10 and 8 year old for a summer. She was engaging, creative and attentive to their needs. Leah sought feedback on how she was doing and ways to bring more fun and excitement to their day. Leah was responsive and dependable. I would recommend Leah to anyone seeking a nanny for their children."

More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
Relevant experience where I also cared for children includes my time working as a nanny for two teenagers for a year, as well as my current role as a behavioral health technician, where I support children’s development through structured activities, emotional regulation, and daily care routines. I also have experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-age children in home and clinical settings.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
Activities I enjoy doing with children include arts and crafts, reading stories, outdoor play, sensory activities, and creative learning games. I love finding fun, age-appropriate ways to encourage growth, imagination, and confidence, whether it’s through hands-on projects, nature walks, or building routines that make them feel safe and happy.
The most important part about being a nanny...
he most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and consistent environment where children feel supported to grow, explore, and be themselves. It’s about building trust not only with the children, but also with their parents — being someone they can rely on to nurture, guide, and care for their little ones with patience, respect, and heart.
My experience with special needs children...
My experience with special needs children comes from my work as a behavioral health technician, where I provided one-on-one support to children with developmental, behavioral, and emotional needs. I have experience implementing individualized care plans, helping children build communication, social, and daily living skills, and using patience, structure, and positive reinforcement to create a supportive environment tailored to each child’s unique needs.
The most important part about being a nanny...
One of my favorite nanny moments was seeing the bond I built with the kids really shine through — like when they would excitedly run to the door to greet me, or when they wanted to show me something they created or learned. Those little moments of trust, excitement, and connection are what make being a nanny so special to me.

Full-Time Nanny Available in Portage, MI: Emily R.
Hello! My name is Emily, a 30-year-old MSU alum with degrees in Child Development & Elementary Education (Minor in Spanish) and a Masters in Educational Technology. I've cared for children from newborn to 15 since age 13—as a babysitter, summer nanny, full-time nanny, and teacher. I spent four years teaching K–2 and now work full-time as a nanny for a wonderful family. I even had the chance to bring my own child to work. My husband and I are expecting our second daughter this late July. I’m bubbly, energetic, and dedicated to forming meaningful bonds with every child, blending learning with play during outings to parks, libraries, and museums. Though I’m sad to leave my current family, I’m excited for this new adventure.
For serious inquiries, please contact me for my website and resume. I look forward to meeting you!

Part-Time Nanny Available in Portage, MI: Jessica R.
Hi, I’m Jessica, and I’m 24 years old! I have 2 adorable cats, named Sully and Princess Leia. Some of my hobbies include painting, baking, and reading. I’m the oldest of 3 sisters, so growing up I’ve always been very nurturing and love to take care of children. I have three years of babysitting experience between a few different families, kids aging from one to twelve years old. While babysitting, some of my go to activities are playing outside, engaging them with arts and crafts, reading stories, and watching Disney movies. While I don’t consider myself a chef, I can whip up a great Mac n Cheese, or a sandwich without the crust! Thank you for taking the time to read this and I hope you’ll consider messaging me(:
