A little bit about me
My name is Elyse and I am 19 (almost 20). I’m looking for a full time nanny job to start around May/June of 2023.
I attended GVSU for 1.5 years and took several classes for child development and elementary education.
I have been babysitting since I was 12 for ages newborn- 12, and have always loved working with kids!
January 2022- August 2022, I nannied 2 boys, ages 3 and 1.
August 2022- now, I nanny a 4 month old girl.
I have younger siblings and cousins, some of which have special needs.
I believe routine is important for kids. I'm committed to caring for each child based on their needs.
I’m not cpr or first aid trained, but am willing to take classes!
I’m fully vaccinated and am willing to get a Covid booster if it’s required.
I have experience with allergies (dairy, gluten, nuts and eggs).
I am open to a nanny share situation. I understand affording a nanny is difficult. Splitting the costs with other families would be helpful for all parties involved! Thanks!

A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Kaitlyn and I grew up with 4 younger siblings, which is when I started my babysitting journey. I’m pretty good with kids and love to make them happy. I do love to keep children engaged and learning with minimal screen time. I prioritize being a good influence. I take safety for children very seriously (including mental, emotional, and physical health). I have nannying experience of 3 years, I have babysitting experience for 10+ years, and Caregiving experience in a nursing home including dementia unit and skilled unit for 1.5 years. I am available full time for any hours currently. I am also willing to pay for a background check and to sign up for recertification of my CPR and First Aid if you desire!

A little bit about me
Hi there! A little bit about me... I’m a recent graduate from Hope College with a degree in Elementary Education and a minor in Early Childhood Education. I’ve been working as a building substitute teacher in the Zeeland Public Schools district, which has given me the opportunity to work with students of all ages and abilities. I also have several years of nannying experience—caring for families with one child all the way up to six kids at a time! I have a heart for working with children of all unique abilities, and I love creating a safe, supportive, and fun environment for them to grow. I’m also a big animal lover and have experience caring for pets alongside childcare. I’m reliable, creative, and passionate about helping kids feel seen, supported, and loved.

I am looking at returning to being a nanny because of the flexibility in the hours; for when I am back in school in a few months. I would love to chat more about my experience and the position available :)
