A little bit about me

Hello, my name is Paige! I’ve been caring for children in both professional (behavioral therapy and general education) and personal settings for several years, and I’ve gained experience with toddlers, school-aged kids, and children with unique learning and behavioral needs. My background in psychology and education has given me strong perspectives into child development. I love creating activities that are both engaging and enriching, whether that’s helping with homework, reading stories, exploring outdoors, or getting creative with crafts.
My goal is to provide more than just supervision, I want to create a safe, consistent, and supportive environment where children can thrive and parents feel at ease. I’m currently working toward a career in social work and child development. During the school year, I work as a paraprofessional in a kindergarten classroom. I’m comfortable helping with transportation, meal prep, and light household tasks.

I have worked in behavioral therapy for children ages 3-10 for the past 7 years. I am currently working as a paraprofessional at a charter school in Grand Rapids. I am seeking a family for during the summer when school is out!

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Anything age and developmentally appropriate that is hands on. Truly love identifying what specifically children find fun and engaging. All kids are unique and have different interests.

The most important part about being a nanny...

living up to what each family wants and needs for their child. It is developmentally crucial to be consistent with how the child is cared for. While parents cannot be there, it is our job to fulfill the child's wants and needs while respecting parents requests.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My favorite moment was nannying a 3 year old and newborn for 2 years for someone I actually graduated high school with. We spent several years on the cheerleading team together. She knew I had a strong background with children and reached out for help. I had THE MOST fun.

Full-Time Nanny Available in East Grand Rapids, MI: Christena D.

Hello! I am a past early childhood education, teacher, and assistant teacher. I value early childhood education and have learned a lot of skills regarding children’s development and social needs. I have a bachelors degree in psychology where I’ve learned a lot about the development of children and how to make sure that they read certain milestones and how to effectively communicate with young children and adults.

I currently work at a cancer and hematology center as a medical assistant where I’m able to use my medical knowledge and CPR skills effectively and continuously. I plan to go to PA school and I really would like to work with young children because I miss being able to shape and mold young minds and I feel I have a unique skill set that a lot of people don’t have.
