A little bit about me

My name is Merka, and I live in Grand Rapids, Michigan. I’m a proud mother of six—each one graduated college and has a professional career. I raised them while working full-time, which taught me patience, structure, and love. I have 20+ years of experience working at a convent in Buffalo, NY as a housekeeper, cook, and nurse’s aide for the nuns, and also cleaned private homes. I speak English and Bosnian, have my own vehicle, a clean record, and recently moved to Grand Rapids. I’m a grandmother to nine, and caring for children comes naturally. I’m dependable, nurturing, and looking for a nanny position where I can support a family with the same care I gave my own.

The most important part about being a nanny...

The most important part about being a nanny is creating a safe, loving, and stable environment where children feel cared for, respected, and happy. I believe children learn and grow best when they are surrounded by patience, kindness, and consistency. As a nanny, I’m not just helping parents—I’m helping raise little human beings with good values and a strong sense of security. That’s a responsibility I take to heart, and it’s what makes this work so meaningful to me.

Takeeya C. - Seeking Work in Kentwood

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.

Nyasia P. - Seeking Work in Kentwood

Part-Time Nanny Available in Kentwood, MI: Nyasia P.

Hello, my name is Nyasia prince and I am looking to start my business of childcare professional while in school pursuing occupational therapy. I am 20 years old and have never been a paid child care giver but that's far from where Id say I got my experience from. Being the only girl in a family gives you a lot of responsibility that may have seemed over whelming at the time hit definitely shaped me love for children. I have a lot of experience with babies in family, toddlers, and even mid aged kids because I always babysat for my aunts and uncles and still do when they need me. I hope you can put trust in me that I will love and care for your baby as my own family.
