Find experienced babysitters in Chelsea, MI

Hi, my name is Valerie and I am interested in part-time childcare work. I am a mom of 5 Vikings ( as my husband and I call them). My two oldest have moved out, and I have 2 in High School and 1 in Community College. I have been a stay-at-home mom for (most of) 23 yrs. I started following my kids to school, and volunteering in classrooms until the school finally hired me! When I realized that my kids would rather be with their friends I decided it was time to get out of the house. My neighbor agreed and offered me up as a nanny for friends of hers. I obtained my CPR certification and accepted a temporary Nanny position, part-time, for an infant. I so enjoyed my time with a little again! My position ended when circumstances changed and the family moved from the area. Since that first job, I’ve had a family in town for two days for work and hired me to care for their infant for a few days. Then two very lovely families who each only needed me part of the week became my primary jobs and kept my schedule full. Then it happened. A job offer for Husband, in Michigan. Since we are originally from Michigan, we made the very difficult decision to move. Yay Husband. Bummer to leave the families I had been a part of. Pre-Husband and Vikings, I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Earth Science at Central Michigan University. Being a bit of a wanderer, I found myself in Chicago working at an Ad Agency! My family and I moved to Greensboro about 8yrs ago, and loved having both mountains and Ocean available for our adventures. However, the never ending heat and humidity will not be missed. I enjoy getting outdoors daily, and perhaps it’s the Earth Science background, but I love taking the little ones outside and introducing them to the trees, flowers, birds, whatever we come across. Kids are such natural sponges, they soak it all in. Having the opportunity to smell or touch or hold something greatly improves their understanding of their environment.

Hi, I’m Brynne! I’m a responsible, fun, and attentive sitter with a strong respect for the trust families place in their caregivers. I’m starting medical school next year and I’m interested in pediatrics because spending time with kids is such a joy for me! I bring a thoughtful, creative approach to childcare. I previously worked as a nanny for a little girl in Dallas from ages one to two and have had many babysitting roles since middle school, giving me years of experience with children of different ages and personalities. I’m comfortable with routines like meals, bedtime, homework help, and playtime, and I prioritize clear communication and reliability. My goal is to create an environment where kids feel secure and supported and parents feel confident stepping away.

Hello! My name is Mercedes and I am 23 years old. I am currently working toward becoming a Special Education teacher. I work in a center-based program that supports students with a wide range of disabilities, and most of my experience has been in the SCI (Severely Cognitively Impaired) and SXI (Severely Multiply Impaired) classrooms. In addition to my work in the classroom, I also work as a Youth Specialist, which is a flexible position that allows me to continue gaining experience supporting children and families. I am currently attending Washtenaw Community College and plan to transfer to Ferris State University’s online program in Fall 2027. I am pursuing a degree in Early Elementary Education with a K–12 Special Education endorsement. Outside of school and work, I enjoy reading, spending time with my family, and training my miniature dachshund, Fozzie. I live with my boyfriend and his family. I was adopted at the age of 14 and am the biological oldest of five siblings, which has shaped a lot of my perspective on family, resilience, and advocacy for children. I have been babysitting since middle school and have experience working with children and young adults ages 3–26, though most of my experience is with children ages 3–14. I have worked at two daycare centers, volunteered at an overnight camp for children in foster care, worked at Dexter’s summer day camp, and coached middle school girls’ lacrosse. I am CPR certified and hold additional certifications that I would be happy to provide upon request.

Hi! I am an experienced childcare professional with a passion for nurturing and educating young minds. As the eldest of five siblings I've been caring for children of all ages. My experience extends to working as an assistant teacher in a childcare center, where I gained valuable insights into early childhood development and education. I have also been a full time nanny for over a year. Patience, creativity, and understanding define my approach to childcare. I believe in fostering a safe and nurturing environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I also love to have fun! I'm very comfortable around children and parents! I'm not an awkward person at all. I'd love to build a relationship with not only the child/children, but the parents as well! I love being outside especially during summer! I'm open to any ideas you or your children have for fun and educational activities! I'm here to protect and love your children like they are my own.

My name is Jessica W. Very nice to meet you! I live in the Dexter/ Ann Arbor area, but am flexible. I have been a babysitter for many years, and within the past year, I’ve been working at a child care program with ages between 10 months- 10 years. While babysitting I’ve gone older than age 10! I love working with children, I am going to school for my ECD degree at WCC. I have been taking college classes through the Washtenaw technical middle college in the campus, since my sophomore year of high school! I love learning new things, and seeing how different and wonderful each child is and what their abilities are. :)

My focus is always on providing a safe, healthy, nurturing environment while building a genuine and lasting connection with each child. As a dedicated career nanny, I request professional, above-the-table pay at a living wage. References upon request.

I have worked in the nursery at Central Academy for 2 years. Later on, I was moved to the preschool at Central Academy. That is where I am currently working full time and going into my 6th year of teaching. I work as a babysitter on the side sometimes for a couple of days.
