More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

Student Engagement Specialist at Mattawan Early Elementary; Jump Into Kindergarten Teacher; Director of Kidventure Day Camp at the Ann Arbor YMCA; Clinical Undergraduate Intern for the University of Michigan's Autism Consultation and Treatment Services program; Unit Leader and Camp Counselor

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I love going to parks and outdoor recreation spaces to ride bikes, use chalk, play, and explore the surrounding nature. I also enjoy arts and crafts and I have a lot of experience in craft/activity programming for children and youth of all ages. I love teaching and learning new boardgames and going to free community events for children and families.

The most important part about being a nanny...

Responsibility, Empathy, and most of all, genuinely enjoying spending time with children--and treating them with respect as as capable, deserving, and intelligent human, because they are!

My experience with special needs children...

I two years of experience working with children on the Autism spectrum and with other special needs. I was a clinical intern at the University of Michigan's Autism Consultation and Treatment Services program where I provided telehealth therapy to help children of different ages work towards social, emotional, and independence goals. As a Student Engagement Specialist I worked on the Behavior and Social Work teams to provide compassion and support to students struggling at school. Many students who I worked with had special needs including Autism, and my approach is compassion-focused and child-centered.

The most important part about being a nanny...

I have never been a traditional nanny, but my favorite part about working with children is the hilarious and often wise things they say.

Kayla R. - Seeking Work in Kalamazoo

Babysitter Available in Kalamazoo, MI: Kayla R.

I’m currently going into my senior year of college at western Michigan university where I will receive my bachelor’s degree of business administration. I love being a sitter because I truly enjoy spending time with children, helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Every child has a unique personality, and it's rewarding to build connections with them and see their confidence and creativity develop. I find joy in creating engaging activities and making sure kids feel cared for and supported. I have experience working as a camp counselor, where I was responsible for supervising and engaging up to five children at a time, ranging from ages 2 to 14. In this role, I organized activities, ensured safety, and provided guidance tailored to each age group. I am CPR and First Aid certified, which means I am trained to handle emergency situations and provide immediate care if needed. I have strong skills in communication, patience, problem-solving, and multitasking.
