A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Leslie. I am currently a third year music student at the University of Michigan majoring in Choral Music Education. Getting to care for kiddos is a true joy for me, as I will soon be a teacher! I’m a firm believer in making children. I have been a camp counselor at SpringHill Camps for 4 summers, worked with Bricks 4 Kidz (an after school lego program), led many vacation Bible school groups, and babysit for whoever needs me. I also LOVE dogs so if there are pets involved, taking care of them Is a bonus for me :) . My hope is to be a nanny in the Grand Rapids area this summer. I’m happy to answer any and all further questions!

A little bit about me

My name is Paula Groendyk, and I have worked in childcare since 2012. I have earned my CDA (Child Development Associate credential), and I truly love working with kiddos and helping them learn and grow. I enjoy understanding how children’s minds work and finding fun, creative ways to support their development through play, learning, and everyday experiences.

I have experience working with preschool-aged children in childcare settings and creating a safe, caring, and nurturing environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and encouraged to be themselves. I am patient, dependable, energetic, and passionate about building strong relationships with both children and families.
