More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I’ve always had a natural connection with children and love creating fun, engaging experiences for them. I previously cared for a 2-year-old and a 4-year-old, where my responsibilities included everything from meal prep and nap time to play-based learning, outdoor activities, and bedtime routines. I’m patient, energetic, and genuinely enjoy being part of a child’s day-to-day growth and development.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Indoor Activities I Enjoy with Children:
• Arts and crafts (painting, coloring,
DIY projects)
• Story time and reading books
• Educational games and puzzles
• Baking simple treats or snacks
• Building with blocks or LEGO
• Imaginative play (dress-up)
• Music time (sing-alongs, dancing)

Outdoor Activities I Enjoy with Children:
• Going to the park or playground
• Nature walks or scavenger hunts
• Biking or scootering
• Sidewalk chalk art
• Water play on warm days
• Sports

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, the most important part of being a nanny is making kids feel safe, loved, and genuinely happy to be around me. I love getting to know their little personalities, making them laugh, and being someone they can count on. At the same time, I know how important it is for parents to feel at ease, especially when they’re balancing so much. I always try to be dependable, flexible, and really in tune with what each family needs. It’s not just a job to me—it’s about being part of the team that helps raise kind, confident kids.

My experience with special needs children...

I have personal experience caring for and spending time with my cousin, who has special needs. Through this, I’ve developed patience, empathy, and an understanding of the importance of consistency and clear communication. I’ve learned how to adapt activities to suit different abilities and how to create a supportive, encouraging environment where children feel safe and valued. This experience has given me a strong foundation for working with children who have diverse needs, and I’m comfortable providing both emotional and practical support.

The most important part about being a nanny...

During the holidays, we made homemade ornaments together. The kids were so proud to hang them on the tree, and their parents loved them too. It was a fun and meaningful activity that brought everyone together.

Babysitter Available in Kentwood, MI: Takeeya C.

Hello I’m Takeeya 25 years old I come from a huge family I have 14 siblings and I’m the oldest. I graduated in 2018. I’m cpr and first aid certified. I’ve been taking care of children since I can remember being the oldest I was a second mom to my siblings. Everyone trusted me with their children. It went from taking care of my brothers and sisters to cousins. Then one day I said hey I love kids and kids love me. I should get paid to do this. My first paid job was a non verbal special needs child. I taught him sign language, I’d cook, clean, create activities and provide a routine that would be just enough for him to be comfortable and not freak out. I’ve been self employed for some time and it can get really boring sometimes and I miss working.
