Hi! My name is Meigha, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic nanny with a genuine love for working with children. I have experience supporting kids of different ages, helping with everything from daily routines and homework to creative play and emotional development.
I believe in creating a safe, nurturing, and fun environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to grow. I enjoy planning engaging activities like arts and crafts, outdoor play, and educational games that help build confidence and curiosity.
I’m also reliable, patient, and attentive to each child’s unique needs. I understand how important it is for families to feel confident and at ease, and I always aim to communicate openly and maintain a positive, respectful relationship with both parents and children.
I look forward to the opportunity to support your family and help your children thrive!

A little bit about me

Hey, I’m Madi! I’m currently a student at Grand Valley and will be graduating next December with a marketing major. Originally from the east side, I grew up by a lake in a family-centered home. Family dinners, game nights, and sports events are still a big part of my life! I have 4 siblings who mean everything to me, and as we get older, we only grow closer.

I’ve always had a passion for working with kids, whether it's playing games or just being a supportive presence. I’m energetic, patient, and responsible. I love being active and creative with kids. Over the years, I’ve babysat for families with children of all ages, and I truly enjoy building lasting connections with the families I work with. I’m comfortable with everything from potty training and bedtime routines to playing outside and doing arts and crafts. My goal is to provide a fun environment for kids while their parents are gone. I’m excited about the opportunity to get to know your family and help out however I can!

A little bit about me

Hello there! My name is Morgan! I am 29 years old. I am looking at returning to school in the winter of 2025 to obtain my bachelor in clinical psychology. I have been working in childcare since I was 18 years old. I am originally from Missouri but have lived in Michigan for 9 years now! I have been married to my husband, Kyle for 7 years now and we live close to the Grand Rapids area. I am currently working in a childcare center but I have experience as a nanny. I am looking at returning to being a nanny because of the flexibility in the hours I am looking for when I am back in school in a few months. I would love to chat more about my experience and the position available :)
