Booked by 1 family in Lansing, MI

I have been babysitting/ had experience with small children since I was 9 or 10- first with my little brother and cousins and later babysitting outside the home. I helped with Vacation Bible School and Sunday School for many years, as a leader. I now have nieces and nephews that I have babysat over the years too. Kids seem to like me fairly quickly- I honestly think it's the curly hair doing a lot of the work lol I love doing crafts or reading (voices and all) and my family loves to play games. As far as the fur babies- I grew up having cats, all my friends have cats, my mom used to foster for the Humane Society and I've got my own 2 handsome sons. I have also had experience living with a dog, as well as dogsitting and I am very comfortable around them. I like to keep my spaces pretty tidy and organized and clean my own home regularly. You can often find me gently bossing my friend around so she gets her chores and tasks done lol

Akua is reliable and great with cats!

Hello! I am a 20 year old college student, I am in my third year pursuing my Biology degree. For the past 3 years, I have worked as a nanny and babysitter for multiple families with kids ranging from infant to 10+ years old. I normally don't use screens when watching kids and try to engage them in various activities they already have around the house or from whatever material I bring with me. I am comfortable with all pets and don't mind helping with light housekeeping.
