Hi, Iβm Charlotte! Iβve been working with kids as long as I can remember and I am extremely passionate about protecting the minds of our future. I considered going into child psychology but I have been called more into music and ministry as of late. I believe that it is our responsibility to help guide the next generation and create a space where they feel nurtured and loved so that they grow up into strong and capable individuals. I am a firm believer in the power love has in a persons life and not only do I want to make sure that each child has their needs met, I am big on protecting the love of family with the kids. I am not here to be a mother but an aide. I am very protective of the relationship between a mother and child and it is something I do not wish to hinder but rather strengthen. My history includes babysitting for multiple homeschool co-ops in high school, working for a couple new moms as a motherβs helper so that they could bond with their baby, and nannying from my senior year til the present. My time nannying included Montessori education, nature studies and homeschooling different subjects. My last family I was with for four years off and on while shuffling some college classes and I had four kids spanning from 8yrs to 3 months old. Iβm also the oldest of five kids. I currently tutor at a co-op once a week with ages 6-7 and 12+. I also used to teach 8-10 year olds as well as work in the nursery. On top of this, I also work occasionally as a certified DSP in HomeBased services but my hours are inconsistent and flexible.

Hi! Iβm Katelyn, a 28-year-old mom of one who absolutely loves kids! β€οΈ Iβve been babysitting since middle and high school and have continued caring for children over the years. Iβm also regularly babysitting my nieces and nephews, so being around kids is something I genuinely enjoy and am very comfortable with. As a mom myself, I understand how important it is to find someone you can trust to care for your little ones. Iβm patient, caring, responsible, and love keeping kids happy, entertained, and comfortable. Iβm happy to help with meals, bedtime routines, activities, homework, and whatever else your family may need. I know how much it means to have someone dependable you can feel comfortable leaving your children with, and Iβd love the opportunity to be that person for your family! π

Hi! I am a dependable and experienced childcare provider with many years of hands-on experience caring for children of various ages. I have been babysitting since age 13 and helped raise my youngest sibling from infancy, which has given me a strong foundation in daily routines, safety, and child development. I also have professional experience in home health care and take pride in being attentive, patient, and reliable.I am currently a college student taking classes online, allowing for a flexible schedule. I played two years of college volleyball, which strengthened my leadership, responsibility, and ability to stay active and engaged with children. I enjoy spending time outdoors, encouraging active play, creativity, and healthy routines while always prioritizing safety. I recently relocated to Michigan from Illinois and am committed to providing families with dependable, nurturing, and trustworthy care in a safe and positive environment.
