Maureen  D., Babysitter in Ypsilanti, MI 48197 with 40 years of paid experience

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 successfully raised my daughter alone. She is now a college graduate and is employed in her field of study. 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. I enjoy cooking, sports, playing games, reading and arts and crafts.

Shae S., Babysitter in Ypsilanti, MI 48197 with 8 years of paid experience

My name is Shae Smith and I am 23 years old, recently graduated from Madonna University. I have always enjoyed coaching children in basketball, which led me into wanting to go outside of basketball and care for or still teach children anything in general. I have had experience with daycares/preschoolers, being a camp counselor, and coaching for over five years. I am CPR/AED & first aid certified. When I was younger a coach told me he was impacted by someone who use to coach/watch him, and now that coach has impacted my life and I want to keep that cycle going of impacting children in a positive way. I am also a Skill Development Coach and I coached the Michigan Tar Heels 11U boys basketball team. I have references for anyone who would like to see them. I was also a Student Assistant for Madonna University Men’s Basketball Program for the past 2 years. I have obtained my RBT (registered behavioral technician) and I am also a certified care provider through CLS and Respite through the state. Right now I currently work within HR Mon-Fri until 4:30pm but I am looking to either supplement that with a full time nanny position .

Meemee E., Babysitter in Ypsilanti, MI 48197 with 8 years of 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.

Kendyle Z., Babysitter in Ypsilanti, MI 48197 with 8 years of paid experience

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 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 :)!
