I have raised 7 children and have extensive experience with infants, toddlers and school aged children. I watch children in my home as well. I enjoy kids of all ages and am very flexible with schedules.

Hi - my name is Nicole and I am a mom of two boys ages 13 and 11. The youngest of 7, I grew up in Michigan where much of my immediate family resides. I played sports in college, had a 14 year career in healthcare sales & marketing, then met my husband & started our family. We are active year round in baseball, I volunteer with our Church where & when needed and specifically with Kids Ministry. I am active but appreciate downtown & recharging. I like a cheat treat to eat, but mostly eat healthy. I am incredibly comfortable with newborns & toddlers, and worked as a nanny for two families, both newborns, before having my first child. With newborns, I’m capable of helping sleep train, create and maintain consistent schedules & activities, solve challenges, and love your precious baby well. Toddlers require healthy boundaries and space to safely experience. I’m up to the task, and will love them well as I tire them out;). I’m happy to drive to appointments, assist with cats and dogs, snacks, light housekeeping relative to the kids, and guidance with any kiddos chores.
Nurturing young minds is more than a job: its my passion. With over 20 years experience, I offer attentive individualized care to all children. My graduate degree, coupled with Early Child Development coursework and certification as a teacher provides me with a strong foundation. I am patient and calm and I enjoy engaging children with board games and read aloud books. I'm comfortable enforcing household rules. I maintain open communication with parents following their preferred method to keep them informed. I am also certified in First Aide Training and CPR Training. Beyond childcare, I am happy to help with cooking , meal preparation and light house keeping. I look forward to the opportunity to bring my experience and dedication to your family,
Hi - my name is Leah. I am offering child care, senior care and household services. I’m passionate about being a nanny and have 15+ years of experience caring for newborns, infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. I pride myself on providing exceptional, loving care that caters to each child’s unique needs. I’m highly skilled in managing children’s daily routines, including meal preparation, school schedules, and recreational activities. With my experience, I’m comfortable communicating with children at various developmental stages and assisting with schoolwork when needed. In addition to providing hands-on care, I can also handle transportation, including drop-offs and pick-ups, and help manage busy family calendars, ensuring appointments like school, extracurricular activities, sports clubs, and outings are organized and on time.
I come from a household that has 2 younger siblings. My sister is 7 years old and my brother is 4. My qualifications would be that I have never professionally babysat but I have been taking care of my siblings since my sister was born. I have a lot of experience with children who are not my siblings as well. I am very patient and understanding. I have experience in household upkeep such as cleaning, cooking, and anything that would be considered as upkeep. I love working with kids because it allows me to see how different every child is.
