Hi, my name is Glenda. I am a 64 year old Gma of a 2.5 year old little girl. I been watching her 2 days a week, since she was born. I love babies and have babysit since I was 12 yrs old. I really enjoy young children, especially newborn till around 3. I have also babysit for twins. I have many references from the babies I have taken of over the years. I volunteered in the NICU at Sparrow Hospital before Covid. I have no allergies. I would love the opportunity to watch your infant.
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! :)
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.
I have a strong background in working with children and caring for animals. During high school, I completed two years in an Early Childhood Education program, where I gained hands-on experience working with children and completed four placements in elementary school classrooms. These experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, dependable, and comfortable working with children of different ages and personalities. I also have experience caring for children outside of school. I have two nieces and two nephews who I spend time with, as well as experience babysitting a one-year-old. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for children and making sure they feel cared for and supported. I also have several years of experience caring for animals. I have three dogs of my own and have previously dog-sat for a family. I am comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for both children and pets, and I take pride in being someone families can trust.
“She is very reliable, extremely professional, is thoughtful of any special instructions you may have and is very nice, caring and attentive”
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!”
