Ann Arbor Child Care

Hey, I am currently full time student seeking to get an undergrad degree in social work. I have been babysitting for various families for over seven years and I have been working in an after school program and full day daycare for four years. I also spent the summer for 2016 working at a camp. I am CPR and first aid certified and have experience with children ranging in age from 4 weeks- 17 years old. Working with kids has always been my passion of mine that I will continue to pursue after graduation. Over my years of working with children I have gained experience and a great appreciation for what I do.

I have been working with children and child care basically my whole life. I am the oldest of 8 children and I started baby sitting around 9 years old. I have had multiple nanny jobs with new born children to 12-year-olds. With in those many jobs I fulfilled the responsibilities of helping with homework, cleaning, organizing, holding children to the rules of the home, and teaching them things of the home as well. In the families that I cared for I dealt with children that had down syndrome or high functioning autism. I have taught art in an elementary school with children in 2nd grade. I am caring, responsible, compassionate, and patience towards the children. I love working with children and being around them but I am also willing to help with things around the home as well. I understand the importance of trusting and feeling confident about the person who you are leaving your children with and would love to meet you and your family any way we can

I've always enjoyed spending time with children, which is why I choose to be in the child care field. I have a certification in Child Development as well as an associates degree in Child Care Professionals. I am also certified in first aid/CPR. I worked at a child care center from 2017 until 2019. There I enjoyed working with children aged 0 to 8 and children with various developmental disabilities and/or delays. At the same time I began nannying for a family with two children ages 2 and 5. My responsibilities include assisting with homework, taking them on local trips, and preparing meals. In 2019 I began working at a highly rated local child care center in Ann Arbor where I've had the pleasure of working with children ages 0-8. I value and respect each child I've had the pleasure of working with. I also use the knowledge I've accumulated to engage in developmentally appropriate practices that help create a safe and caring environment for young children to grow.

working with children is my passion! I am currently working as a Sped. Ed Paraprofessional at a Charter school near by. For now I am only able to work weekends/ date nights. I have professional references, CPR/first Aid certified.

I am a rising Junior at the University of Michigan's Ross School of Business. I have been babysitting/nannying for the past 6 years. I babysat for a family after school everyday in high school, and was responsible for after-school activity transportation, facilitating the completion of their homework, and dinner preparation. I also helped tutor and babysit two sets of twins in subjects such as Math and English. I worked at a day camp for a summer as well and helped organize and facilitate activities for kids such as crafts, outdoor games, and swimming. I was also a varsity golfer in high school and love outside sports!

I began babysitting at age 14 and continued my child development education through college. My passion for children in addition to my love for musical theater makes me uniquely qualified to nanny. Child Development: In 2016 I took a course titled Geology for Elementary School Teachers. Curriculum included teaching skills and lesson planning. In late 2016 I volunteered at Mott Children's Hospital where I assisted nurses and looked after children (newborn-12). I helped administer medication and soothed children dealing with trauma. Children in the Arts: At EMU I took a children's theater course which taught child development in relation to physical movement and expression of one's feelings. 2017-2020 I led 7 sing-alongs at the Michigan Theater as their official Emcee. This position included dressing up as a character from the featured movie and meeting children face to face. Additionally, I was a camp counselor at the Michigan Theater's Young Filmmakers Camp (ages 11-18).

Hello, Families! I am a very honest, energetic and loving person. I have been caring for children since the age of 15, starting with my younger siblings to family and friends. I took a 4 year Early Childhood and Principles to Teaching course throughout high school. This consisted of planning lessons and interacting with children from the young age of 3 years old all the way up to seniors in high school. I love to cook and do not have any problems doing some light housekeeping (picking up after the children, doing dishes, occasional children's laundry, etc.). I am someone who loves the outdoors and believe that too much TV is never a good thing. Playing outside, having fun and getting active is the best and most important way to spend your free time to me.

I have a lot of experience with children, as I have been babysitting for over six years. I spent a lot of time babysitting for a family with five children ranging in age from 3 to 13. I am well-liked by all the families I've babysat for and have created many meaningful relationships along the way. I can cook, help with homework, play games and do almost anything required of a parent. In this difficult time of COVID-19, I recognize the hardships of trusting a person to come into their home. I got an antibodies test, and tested positive, which means I am nearly immune to giving and getting COVID-19. Additionally, I promise to be safe and sanitize, as well as wear a mask/gloves.

My experience with children consists of babysitting kids who range in age from 1-11, being a mother's helper to twin babies and a 2-year-old, volunteering at a preschool and vacation bible school, and more! Since I'm a college student, I'm looking for jobs mainly on the weekends for date nights, while you're running errands, or if you just need an extra set of hands around the house. I like bringing crafts to do, playing outside, reading, and watching movies when babysitting. I would also most likely be able to help out in the summer. Please contact me if you're interested, and I look forward to hearing from you soon!

My experience with caring for children started when I began babysitting as a teenager. In high school, I shadowed at a local daycare center in Ann Arbor. Throughout college, I nannied two separate families from 2013 to 2016. May of 2016, I became an assistant teacher at another local daycare center in Ann Arbor and have been working there for the past three and a half years. February of 2019, I became the Lead Teacher of one of the infant rooms and I oversee the entire classroom and keep track of milestones, make lesson plans, meal prep, feed bottles, and assist with all daily activities of an infant. I have primarily worked with infants for the past 2 years and have experience working with children of all ages. I also can cook, clean, take care of pets. I am CPR certified and First Aid certified. I have over 100 hours of credits that count toward a Child Development Associate and graduated in 2018 from the University of Michigan with a degree in Women's Studies.

Daycroft School is a Toddler through 6th grade Montessori inspired school on 10 acres overlooking natural wetlands. We provide a personalized learning environment that appreciates individual differences, nurtures the whole child, and enables students to develop at their own pace and achieve to their full potential. Inspired by principles first developed by Maria Montessori, education here is student-centered, not only in appreciating individual differences and accommodating individual learning styles but also in enabling students to take significant responsibility for their own learning.

Every child is different. Every child is one-of-a-kind. So at Tutor Time, every child's unique set of skills and interests are utilized to his or her advantage in the way that they learn, grow, build self-esteem, and develop their imagination. It's our job to bring out their best. Your child's day at Tutor Time is educational. It's social. And it's highly energetic. The secret ingredient is our LifeSmart curriculum, which creates fruitful, hands-on learning and confident self-expression. Inspired by Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences theory, LifeSmart recognizes and embraces the different strengths and abilities of individual children. Those differences are embraced and used to drive a customized early education that addresses the specific needs of your child.

We believe in the power of PLAY!

The Discovery Center has been located on the west side of Ann Arbor since its founding in 1974. Jacki M. began her dream of providing high-quality early childhood programs at the center s original location on North Maple Road. In 1984, the center moved to its current facility on South Maple Road that was designed and built to house our programs. The new building gave us the opportunity to expand the center s offerings to three full-day preschool classrooms, a half-day preschool program, and a new kindergarten program. In 2003, we renovated and further expanded our facilities with the addition of a new large motor/gym space, basement storage area, larger parking lot, and fourth full-day preschool classroom.
The Discovery Center has been an accredited program through the National Association for the Education of Young Children since 1993. The family continues to own and operate The Discovery Center in collaboration with the administrative and teaching staff of the center.The mission of The Discovery Center is to provide a high-quality early childhood experience for young children. In order to achieve this, The Discovery Center strives to provide an environment where each child is able to approach optimum physical, social, emotional, aesthetic, and intellectual growth. The classroom environment encourages each child to explore "discovery centers" set up by the staff and to participate in a full range of activities occurring throughout the day. The program is enhanced by outside specialists who provide Spanish, music, and story telling enrichment activities.
Our curriculum has been developed by our staff of professional educators to be consistent with the center s philosophy. Some areas of the curriculum stressed by The Discovery Center are dramatic play, creative art, music, science and nature, math activities, stories and books, self-help skills, world awareness, communication skills, creative movement, social/emotional skills, and outdoor play. Within this framework, the staff works toward providing an optimum amount of attention, affection, stimulation, independence, novelty, and choice of activities for each child. We offer both half day and full day preschool programs and young 5 program options.
