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.

I'm a dependable, caring nanny who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and supporting families. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we're doing creative activities, spending time outdoors, helping with developmental milestones or simply following a consistent routine. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm approach to each day. I understand that every family is unique, and I take pride in adapting to each child's personality and needs while maintaining open communication with parents. My goal is to be a trusted, supportive presence that helps make family life run a little more smoothly. I look forward to building meaningful connections and providing attentive, compassionate care.

Alexis watched out 1.5 year old daughter for a few hours when we were in a pinch to find a sitter. She showed up early and navigated a new child and situation great.
Meemee E.
- 8 years paid experience

Hello! I’m Meemee—a 24-year-old University of Michigan graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences. I currently work part-time as a certified pharmacy technician while preparing for graduate school, and I continue to offer occasional babysitting services for families seeking trusted, compassionate care. With over 9 years of hands-on childcare experience—from helping raise my younger siblings to supporting local families—I bring a calm, nurturing, and dependable presence to every home. I’ve supported children of all ages, from toddlers to teens, including those with special needs and medical complexities. My younger brother, who battled cancer for many years, was a central part of my life. As one of his primary caregivers, I developed not only practical care skills, but deep patience, empathy, and a strong sense of responsibility. I’m certified in CPR, First Aid, and Bloodborne Pathogen safety, and I have my own reliable transportation. I’m comfortable preparing meals, helping with homework, offering light tutoring, or simply making sure your children feel safe, engaged, and cared for in your absence. Whether you need last-minute help, after-school care, or support for date nights or weekends away, I’m here to provide peace of mind. If you’re looking for thoughtful, professional, heart-led care, I’d be honored to support your family.

Did a great job with my 7, then 8 year-old son. Helped with school during the pandemic. Him and her grew pretty close.

I am an loving and responsible mother of a beautiful young lady. I have over 40 years experience caring for children in private homes and in licensed day care centers.

I also have over 30 years as a cook/chef, both privately and in day cares, hospitals, hotels, and senior living centers. I also have creative and artistic talent, which in the past has helped with not just school projects, homework, but also with activities to help to build a child's imagination.

Maureen was absolutely incredible with our girls! I have a 2 year old and 3 month old and she was able to watch them throughout a long weekend when we had numerous events to attend. My 2yr old is quite active and energetic and Maureen kept up with entertaining her amazingly. She also was so kind and sweet with my littlest one. It was such a piece of mind to have her as our sitter while we were on our trip and she truly treated them like family.

Hello! My name is Monica and I started to work with kids through my dance studio, where I discovered my love for making an impact on children’s lives. I have 5 years of babysitting experience, mostly with children ages 2-12. While I babysit, I am always happy to help out with dishes, laundry, or even meal prep. Additionally, I’m a chemical engineering student, and by default a pretty good science tutor too! I have my own car and certifications in both CPR and first aid, so I am ready for any situation thrown at me.

My girls absolutely LOVE Monica! I have a 3 and 5 year old, who always have the best time when Monica babysits. From doing crafts and science experiments to going on walks and playing outside, they are always entertained. And bonus- we don’t come home to a disaster of a mess when we get back home. We don’t know what we would do without her service! ☺️

Hello! My name is Mikayla Warner. I have been working with kids my whole life but started actually getting paid for it when I was 15. Growing up with 3 younger siblings, I learned from a young age how to navigate through many different situations. I have 3 Associate Degrees in Criminal Justice, Occupational Studies, and Liberal Arts. I'm 25 years old & married, and while I don't have any kids of my own yet, my husband's family is quite large so I have over 20 nieces and nephews ranging from all ages. I have built individual bonds and gained trust with each of them, including the ones who were older (9-14) and love each as if they are my own. I have worked at multiple daycare centers, nannied for a couple different families, am certified in first aid, CPR, and was raised by not one but two police officers so I always pay attention to my surroundings. I believe that all play is learning - whether it's jumping in mud puddles and learning about worms, or making macaroni necklaces for hand-Eye coordination, count me in!!

We hired Mikalya in May 2026 to watch our then 4 month old 3 days a week in a nanny share with another family with an 8 month old until we got our spot in daycare. It has been a great experience. Working remotely, I have had the opportunity to observe her skills firsthand. She has been proficient in figuring out and balancing both baby's schedules and needs and soothes two crying babies like a pro. She is communicative, reliable, and punctual. We plan to retain her as a babysitter after we start daycare.

Although we ended up getting an international au pair instead of a local nanny, Dianna was prompt and communicated well during our interview process. I could tell she was genuinely interested in children and felt she would have been a great fit for my family. If the au pair doesn't work out, I will definitely call Dianna first thing!
