Experience: 8 yrs
As the oldest of four siblings, I naturally stepped into a caregiving role from a young age and officially began babysitting when I was 13. Since then, I've worked as a summer nanny for a family with three children, babysat regularly during my undergrad, and cared for little ones ranging from 1 to 8 years old. I'm currently pursuing my graduate degree in School Psychology at Grand Valley State University, where I'm also earning a certificate in Applied Behavior Analysis. Through my studies and hands-on practicum experience in elementary schools, I've gained valuable skills supporting children's academic, social, and emotional development. When I'm with kids, I focus on building genuine connections, encouraging creativity, and keeping things fun and engaging while ensuring their safety and well-being. Whether we're reading, doing crafts, or heading to the park, I'm fully present and committed to providing quality care.
Kerrigan was wonderful with our 11 month old! She was warm, kind and attentive and communicated well up until the visit. Would definitely hire again. :)
