A little bit about me

Hello families! I believe that the best learning happens when children feel safe and lead the way. My childcare approach is deeply rooted in play-based, nurturing care, backed by professional and academic experience in Early Childhood Education (ECE). I bring specialized expertise as a Registered Behavior Technician (RBT) working with neurodiverse children, alongside certifications in CPR, First Aid, and trauma-informed care. I’d love to help your child thrive in a peaceful, supportive environment!

"We had a wonderful experience with our Hannah as our babysitter! She was reliable, caring, and great with our kids. We felt completely comfortable leaving them in her care and came home to happy, well-cared-for kids. She was also great at communicating and went above and beyond to help us when we needed it. We would definitely recommend her and would happily have her babysit for us again!"

"Rachel always treated our kids with respect, compassion, and was proactive in filling their days with educational and fun activities. I never had to suggest things for them to do - she did it all on her own, and came up with very creative ways to spend their time. She learned our family and our routines and anticipated our needs, often doing things without me even asking, even if they were outside of her job description. Without asking, our house was always picked up, dishes were done, laundry was done, etc. It was a breath of fresh air to walk into the house at the end of the work day. She handled conflict between our kids well, set expectations for them, was firm but loving. She comes up with great, creative ideas for fun outings and activities to do at home. She was always on time, I could count on her, she gave me advance notice when she needed time off. And she was so proactive in doing things without needing to ask her. She was always punctual and never called in sick."

"Caytie is the most enthusiastic person I have ever had the pleasure of working with. Caytie loves to take on new challenges and works extremely hard to accomplish her goals. In the short time that I worked with her I was thrilled to be able to offer her two promotions at ALDI. Caytie began her work as a Full-time Associate and within just a few months she had store managers from other stores asking if she was an Assistant Manager. Shortly thereafter I promoted her to Lead Store Associate, and within another 6 months I selected her to be the only employee to assist me in the opening of a new ALDI location in Cedar Springs, MI. This selection included her promotion to Assistant Store Manager. Caytie met and exceeded every expectation I had for all of the positions she held. Any employer that Caytie is applying to work for would be remisce to not select her. She will perform any task assigned to her with dedication, professionalism, and excitement."
