Hello! My name is Ava. I am looking for some babysitting jobs that I can do during the weekends. And maybe late weekdays. I have experience in working with infants/toddlers. As well as kids 5 to 6 years old. I am cpr, first aid, and aed certified. I am currently working on getting a CDA certification. And I have my own transportation.
Hi! My name is calla, I am 18 and currently working on my associates degree in biology through Lansing Community College. I love nature and I have a strong passion for child care and animal care. Most people would describe me as calm, respectful, and creative. I would much rather catch butterflies, play board games, and build snowmen with your kids than sit them in front of a T.V I have no problem enforcing rules such as bedtimes or chores, I only ask that you communicate these expectations with your children beforehand. Aside from my requested times I am willing to come in if there is an emergency, or an unexpected event. I have experience with children of all ages and I am comfortable with all pets (no allergies or fears!). I am willing to show vaccination records or any other records you need from me. I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)
Hi, my name is Caden, and I am currently a sophomore at Michigan State University. I offer childcare, care for children and adults with disabilities, senior care, house sitting, and pet sitting. I am an experienced caregiver with years of experience working with children as both a babysitter and a camp counselor. I also have over 300 hours of volunteer experience assisting adults with mental and physical disabilities. I am responsible, patient, energetic, and dependable, with a strong ability to keep children engaged through games, activities, and outdoor adventures while ensuring a safe and positive environment. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable helping with household tasks and pet care. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and create a positive experience for every family I work with.
I am an undergraduate senior at MSU studying neuroscience and Spanish! I am also pre-med! I am a lifeguard, and I teach swimming lessons. I teach students ages 3 years to adult. CPR and first aid certification are included with my lifeguard certification. I have experience caring for dogs, cats and rabbits! I am very patient and have a positive attitude. I can clean any room and run any errand!
Hello! My name is Sage , and I am a senior at Michigan State University studying psychology with a minor in human development and social services. I absolutely adore children and have experience caring for children across a wide range of ages. I have babysat for numerous families for years at a time and have loved watching the children grow, develop, and reach new milestones. I am responsible, outgoing, patient, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children. I love engaging with kids and planning a variety of activities that are fun, creative, and age-appropriate while they are in my care. I also have experience working with children through my internship at a women and children’s shelter. While there, I regularly cared for children while their mothers took time for themselves or attended to other responsibilities. This experience strengthened my ability to be patient, understanding, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help families with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and running errands. I am also very comfortable around animals! I have two dogs and a cat, and I have experience living with roommates who had a bearded dragon and a hedgehog. I love giving back to my community and would be grateful for the opportunity to support families and make a positive difference in their lives!
