"Hannah is fantastic and I trust her completely with my kids. She was very responsible and fun to be around, the type of person you hope your kids grow up to be. I asked for help lightly cleaning up and Hannah never disappointed. She often made dinners which was an enormous help trying to handle 3 hungry kids and made enough for me when I got home from work! I would have lost my mind during Covid without her!"

"Rhylie cared for our two school-age children and exceeded every expectation we had for a nanny. She managed busy after-school schedules, helped with homework, prepared meals, and kept the kids active and engaged. What stood out most was the strong bond she built with them—they respected her, trusted her, and genuinely enjoyed spending time with her. Rhylie is responsible, organized, and incredibly patient, even during hectic days. As parents, we always felt confident that our children were not only safe but truly cared for. She is an outstanding caregiver and someone we would hire again in a heartbeat."

A little bit about me
Hello! My name is Madi and I am 22 years old. I am from Negaunee, Michigan and I graduated with a degree in Special Education (K-12) and an endorsement in Elementary Education PK-3 from MSU. I have always loved working with children of all ages. I have a lot of experience with children. Growing up, my parents worked a lot so I have had a lot of responsibility for my two younger siblings who are now 8 and 9 years old. My mom worked night shift and my dad worked long hours, so I was the main babysitter, especially through COVID. I am the oldest of all my cousins, so I tend to babysit a lot for family members as well. I am up-to-date with all my vaccines, have had a TB test, and I am first aid, CPR, and AED certified. I am also fingerprinted for my childcare license. I have worked as a part-time nanny in East Lansing and Grand Ledge for the past four years, but unfortunately the family moved. I am looking forward to talking :) Message me for more information and availability!!

Hello! My name is Makayla Kamp, and I am studying to be a Spanish teacher at Calvin University! I am bilingual, and Safe Sitter Certified! I have five little siblings, and I have been babysitting consistently since I was 13. While I do not have a car, I do have a bus pass and a bike, so I do have reliable transportation. I love including hands-on, family friendly games and fun into my babysitting, while also keeping the child safe and comfortable. I am most comfortable with ages 2-10, but I am flexible! I have worked as a volunteer for a special needs organization, so I can also handle children with special needs. I love doing housework, and I can do basic petcare.
