More About Me
Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...
I work as a waitress where I handle children every day and love finding little ways to ease a child’s stress to make it easier on the parents. Kids take time and patience and lots more patience. I don’t have any children of my own so it makes it a lot easier for me to be crazy excited about helping little brains grow. What a pleasure it is.
Activities I enjoy doing with children...
I love to cook, so one of my favorite parts of nannying is cooking for the kids, getting them involved and teaching them as I go. I love puzzles, books, and making up stories. This time of year sledding and snowball fights are a must. Story writing is one of my favorites, seeing just how deep the kids imaginations can go, witnessing that childlike sense of wonder never gets old.
The most important part about being a nanny...
To me, the most important part about being a nanny is maintaining a positive relationship with the children and the parents. Making sure your own opinions do not interfere with the way the parents wants their child raised. Always listen to the parents, they always know best.
The most important part about being a nanny...
So far, my favorite moment as a nanny/babysitter was when I was asked by one of the kids, "Emma, are you still a kid?" Because yes, I am! I say heck no to growing old, we’ll all be kids forever.

Part-Time Nanny Available in Traverse City, MI: Madison H.
Childcare has always been a passion on mine, I have a special place in my heart for infants and toddlers.
When I was 11 years old I started as a 3 night a week babysitter for a 2 and 6-year-old. I continued to babysit and nanny in the summertime for many families over the years until I graduated from high school. From there I worked in daycare for a little over 2 years, the second year I also was an after school nanny for the family that owned the Primrose I was working at.
For the last 3 years I was a nanny for an amazing family, helping to rise their 2 kids and seeing them through many milestones and fun, wonderful trips to Disney world! Unfortunately children grow up and the time has come that I start looking for new littles to love.
I have many personal and professional references and recommendations as well driving history as well as background checks to offer (available on care.com)!
