Find experienced babysitters in Dexter, 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.

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca (age 24). I am a current MSW student at U-M in their children, youth, and families pathway. I am looking for occasional babysitting opportunities for kids of all ages. My basic information is as follows: I focus on verbal communication with children, validating feelings, and breathing exercises when overwhelmed. I completely avoid timeouts or any negative reinforcement. I have ~10 years paid experience with ages 3mos to 14yrs old; up to four children at one time. I have my own reliable transportation, with a completely clean driving record, and can happily drive the kids to fun activities such as the park, the zoo, or splash pad. I am more than comfortable with pets so bring on the furry friends!! My guaranteed payment methods include cash, check, or zelle. I look forward to your messages :). Take care! (Edited 9/25/2026)

Hi! I’m Jazzy, a senior at the University of Michigan studying Sound Engineering. I have experience babysitting children of various ages, including overnight stays, as well as serving in children’s and youth ministry. I’m responsible, patient, and creative, and I enjoy engaging kids through play, learning, and meaningful conversation. I truly value helping children feel seen, supported, and safe. Additionally, I have experience with teaching kids of various ages in swim lessons, and I offer piano lessons if that was ever a want for you and your kiddo! :)

Hi! I’m Kendyle, a student at the University of Michigan with 8 years of babysitting experience. I started babysitting when I was 11, riding my bike to care for five kids down the street ranging in age from 1 month to 9 years old. Since then, I’ve worked with over 15 families and truly enjoy building connections with kids and watching them grow. I’ve cared for children of all ages and have experience watching up to 8 kids on my own. I’m certified in babysitting and CPR, and I’ve also worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor, which has given me even more experience working with children in a safe and structured setting. In addition to childcare, I’ve also tutored kids and can help with homework when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and always happy to lend a hand. I’d love the opportunity to care for and support your family!

I love working with kids and enjoying their company. I love doing crafts, and playing outside doing anything that they like, I can cook and bake as well. I have 6 years of experience with all different ages. I am cpr and stop the bleed certified, I have a car and can drive kids to do fun activities or just run errands for you!

My name is Marina, and I am an experienced and dedicated childcare provider with over 10 years of hands-on experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to older children. I have a genuine passion for working with children and take pride in creating a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment that supports their growth and development. At this time, I am particularly interested in working with infants, as I find great fulfillment in supporting their early stages of development. I am attentive, patient, and knowledgeable when it comes to infant care routines and needs. I have a clean driving record and am known for being reliable, dependable, and trustworthy. I can also provide multiple references from both current and former families who can speak to my professionalism and the quality of care I provide. At the moment, I rely on public transportation and do not have a car. I am dependable and punctual, and I’m happy to work with a family whose home is accessible by public transportation. I’m also open to discussing transportation arrangements that work well for both the family and me.

I love children of all ages. Infants, toddlers, tweens and teens. I have two step daughters of my own, ages 12 and 14. I am 33 years old and most of my friends have younger children of their own. Therefore, I am also a glorified Aunt by choice. I have tons of experience in childcare. I babysat from the age of 12 until 18, when I left home for college. I have not made an income through childcare since then but I can reassure you that I've have lots of time with kiddos since. I am active and fit and will happily engage in playtime, learning, outdoor activities and even activities requested that might mean we leave the house. My wish is to provide a good experience to those in my care and to bring ease to parents knowing their child is in the presence of someone safe and caring.

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.

My name is Jessica W. It is very nice to meet you! I live in the Dexter/ Ann Arbor area, but I am flexible. I have been a babysitter for many years, while babysitting I’ve watched children through the ages of 0-12. I love working with children, and watching how each of them learn to express themselves and how they can work towards different goals. I am 22 years old and have graduated from Washtenaw Community College with my associates in Early Childhood Education! I have also recently become a mom of a beautiful baby girl who is 6 months old! I have work with many infants beforehand but have grasped a completely new concept of infant lifestyle! A little bit more about me, I love to be outside enjoying beautiful Mother Nature. I am very into sports as I played many throughout my childhood and high school/college! I enjoy reading and writing, and spending lots of time doing all these with my daughter and family! I would love to hear from you if you think I’m a good fit for your family! Thank you so much for taking the time to learn a little bit about me!

Hi! My name is Mary. I'm 26 years old, and I'm an alumna from Wayne State University. I majored in geology and minored in dance. I love spending quality time with young ones. For 4 summers (2017, 2018, 2019, and 2022), I was a camp counselor at Living Water Ministries in New Era, MI. Don't worry, 2022 was my last summer! I enjoy teaching and tutoring kids, but also learning from them, too! I also love pets, and I would love to look after them as well. I have two cats of my own, Peridot and Artemis. I think mental and physical activity is necessary for children of all ages, but so is relaxing and giving their minds and bodies a break. I'm excited to meet your little ones!
