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. :)

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.

Valerie has been AMAZING! We've been lucky to have her services for about 12 hours a week for the past year. She has beautifully cared for, taught and loved on our now 1.5 year-old son (who just adores her) while my wife and I both worked from home... as well as occasionally our now 4 year-old daughter (who also adores her!). Additionally, Valerie would support our child-care needs for weekends-away, sick-days etc. Valerie brought such love and attention to our kiddos, their evolving allergy needs and eagerly took them outside for daily walks and exploration. She has been a true gift. We are so sad that Valerie will be moving away, even though our youngest is starting school in the fall, we always hoped to continue relying on Valerie for her wonderful care of our young family. We hold her in the highest regard, and future families would be lucky to have Valerie as part of their child-raising village.

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!

We loved Nancy! She was very friendly and engaging with my daughter. She gave her tons of attention and by the end of the day I'm pretty sure she liked Nancy more that me :) Thanks for helping us out last minute!

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!

Hello! My name is Katie Snowday and I am a current college student at the University of Michigan. I am a reliable, dynamic, and ready-to-play babysitter, with years of experience in childcare and an academic background in education. This past summer I held a teaching assistant and camp counselor position at the Interlochen Summer Arts Camp, working round the clock with high school age students. In my role I fostered a safe, fun, and routine-oriented living space in my cabin, and worked in a leadership position during the day. At the University of Michigan I have studied early-education through a multicultural and community based pedagogy. I also served as a Mentor in the Umich chapter of Ballet and Books where we had the opportunity to lead a ballet class combined with one-one literacy work in a free, weekly program for preschool age children. I have experience in large group logistics management and cross departmental communication through two summers experience as the 'Backstage Xperience Coordinator' at the Barn Theatre in Augusta, Michigan. This program gave young students a behind the scenes look at the production of live theatre, and discounted tickets to the show they had learned about. I have several years of babysitting work for three families with children ranging 2-13 yrs old. I always keep safety my utmost priority, am able to engage with any age group, make babysitting a positive experience so kids are excited for the next visit, prioritize active engagement over screens, and redirection over reprimand. My services include; driving, cleaning, activities, and fundamental first aid. Please feel free to contact for an interview. I look forward to working with you! Katie Snowday

Hi! My name is Nathan, and I’m a sophomore at the University of Michigan in the School of Music studying Jazz and Contemplative Studies originally from Boston, MA. I’ve spent the last four years working as a certified lifeguard and the last three years coaching youth swim, so I have a lot of experience working with kids of all different ages, personalities, and energy levels. I’m also certified in First Aid and CPR, and I take safety, responsibility, and trust very seriously while still making sure kids feel comfortable, supported, and able to have fun. I’m dependable, patient, and very used to staying calm in busy or high-energy situations. Whether I’m supervising activities, helping with routines, keeping kids on schedule, or making sure rules are followed, I try to create an environment that feels safe, positive, and engaging without feeling overly strict. I’m also happy to help with homework. I can help kids stay focused, work through assignments, review directions, and make sure schoolwork gets done before moving on to something more fun. I know how important it is to balance structure with encouragement, especially when kids are tired, distracted, or just need someone patient to sit with them and help them get started. As a musician, I love bringing creativity into babysitting when kids are interested. That could mean making up silly songs, playing rhythm games, introducing them to instruments, having a dance break, or finding fun ways to make music part of the day. I also enjoy cooking and would be happy to help with meals or snacks. I especially like turning cooking into a fun activity, whether that means making simple recipes together, letting kids help with safe steps, or coming up with fun snack ideas. Overall, I love creating activities that are creative, active, and hands-on, whether that’s music, cooking, games, outdoor play, arts and crafts, homework support, or whatever the kids are excited about that day. I like to say I was part of the last couple years that did not rely so heavily on screens for entertainment, so I’m very pro arts and crafts, imagination, and activities that let kids experience the kind of creative, hands-on fun I grew up with.
