Michelle has been doing housekeeping for me for 5 years and has been my pet sitter, taking care of my 2 dogs and 1 cat for 10 years. Michelle is the best! She’s reliable, trustworthy and very flexible. My house is spotless after she cleans. She will also run errands for me as well. My animals are my babies and they love her! I have peace of mind and never worry when they’re in her care. My cat will even follow her around when she’s cleaning. I got so lucky to find her!

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.

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.

I enjoy working with kid, I’ve been working at a before and after care for an elementary school. I am somewhat new to Child Care although it gives me experiences for the career I want to pursue. I am CPR certified/First Aid, bilingual in Spanish etc. In my senior year of high school I took a class to help a teacher out and see what it looks like behind a teacher's lens. I coached rec gymnastics for ages 3-10 and enjoyed working and see the kids improve. I am really excited to bring my passion out and hopefully build connections with kids. Wanting to gain experience but also supporting your families needs :)!

Phoebe worked with our boys for a few months on the weekends when we needed some extra help. She was always punctual, a great communicator, and very responsible. She was also very good at entertaining our wild boys, often creating fun, active games for them even when they were cooped up inside. I would recommend her highly. :)
Kendyle Z.

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!

Absolutely Outstanding Nanny! We have been truly blessed to have Gabrielle (Gabby) as our son’s nanny for the past year, and it’s with heavy hearts that we say goodbye. From day one, Gabby has been an absolute rockstar — always on time, every single day, without fail. Her reliability gave us complete peace of mind as working parents. Gabby communicated beautifully with us and showed wonderful initiative whenever our now 4-year-old was having a tough moment. Whether it was a meltdown, a tricky behavior phase, or just needing a little extra patience and creativity, she jumped in with kindness, problem-solving, and a huge heart. She didn’t just watch our son — she truly cared for him, helped him grow, and made every afternoon brighter. Gabby quickly became a trusted, loved member of our family. We will miss her warm smile, her energy, and the joy she brought into our home every single day. Gabby, congratulations on your next exciting chapter — you deserve all the best! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you’ve poured into our son and our family this past year. You made a real, lasting difference, and we will never forget it. We will miss you so much! We would recommend Gabrielle to any family in a heartbeat — she is truly one of the best. 5 stars doesn’t even feel like enough!

Leighanna taught two of my children in preschool. She always showed love, patience, and care for our boys. The creativity she brought to the classroom is amazing, and our children came home talking about new songs and projects every day. She takes the time to connect with each child individually and creates a warm, engaging atmosphere. We highly recommend Leighanne to any family looking for a caring and skilled nanny!
