A little bit about me

My philosophy on raising children focuses on love. I believe in loving children. Holding them, cuddling, hugs and kisses, letting them sleep on me -- mainly, I will love your children and treat them like they are my own while in my care. I understand you are entrusting your children with me and that is NOT something I take lightly. I believe that children are people too. I think, especially in the first year, babies/infants should be loved as much as possible, held while they sleep, eat when they want as well as sleep. However, this doesn't mean that I think children a year and older shouldn't be treated with just as much love. I will play with them, read to them, teach them sign language, go for walks and bike rides, take them to the zoo - I will think of them as my own and treat them as such. Personally, I think giving kids a well rounded education is super important -- so music, dancing, sports, and arts are all things I like to teach them. Plus, if I cook, the kids cook with me.

A little bit about me

Hello my name is Rose. I am 20 years old as of February 3rd 2021. My lifelong goal is to become a pediatric nurse. I have nannied before and absolutely loved it! In highschool I had the opportunity to work with teens with autism, down syndrome, and many other abilities. I have found that kids are drawn to me due to my fun and outgoing personality. I have also worked with newborns. Safety is my number one before play. I have been trained in infant and child CPR. I will be taking a refresher very soon! I can do light housekeeping, cooking, and minor errands for the parents. I have my own vehicle to use for any emergency transportation or errands. I know I would be a great fit for your family! I am on an amazing journey in life and I hope you can be apart of that with me!

A little bit about me

Hi! My name is Samantha, and I’m a Child Development student at Western Michigan University. I’ve been babysitting for several years and have experience working with kids of different ages through babysitting and being a camp counselor.

A little bit about me

Hello! I am a senior at Western Michigan studying child psychology! I have 3+ years of experience in childcare, I am comfortable with cleaning, cooking, and teaching children, as well as taking them on adventures (if families are comfortable with it). I am CPR and First Aid certified and genuinely enjoy being around kids. For me, being a nanny means loving the kid unconditionally and keeping them save. I am not a parent, but more of an extension of the parents!

A little bit about me

I thrive when working with young children. My experience includes caring for newborns through age six, as well as supporting children with autism, developmental disabilities, Down syndrome, and medical needs. I’m known for my ability to connect through creativity using art, music and nature as tools for engagement and learning. As someone who is queer and neurodivergent, I bring empathy, adaptability, and a deep understanding of diverse needs to the care I provide. I study Spanish and American Sign Language and can integrate those languages into our learning.
