I previously held a Michigan Day care license and provided in home childcare. I have also had many different pets. Mainly dogs and cats however I've also had birds, reptiles, fish and rodents. I have always enjoyed children of all ages. During the beginning of the Covid19 pandemic I lost my job. I was employed there for 40 years. I am now seeking a more enjoyable way to add to my retirement. I know that working families often times need help before and after school for their children. I can help you. I provided my in home child care while I worked part time in a manufacturing setting. I know life can be very busy balancing work and family. I can send your child/children off to school or be there after until you can get home from work. I am also an animal lover and have no problem with pets and pet care. Does your dog need a walk? I can help there too. I can perform other pet care as needed so you don't have to. Please contact me if you are interested in my child and or pet care services.

Hi! I’m Zuri, a responsible, caring, and dependable babysitter with over 6 years of experience caring for children of all ages. I’m currently a college student studying Psychology, which has strengthened my understanding of child development, communication, and creating positive, supportive environments where children can thrive. In addition to babysitting, I’ve worked with children on the autism spectrum (ASD) for the past 4 years and have spent the last year working as a Behavior Technician. This experience has helped me develop patience, adaptability, and the skills to support children with a wide range of personalities, needs, and abilities while encouraging their growth and independence. I love keeping children engaged through creative activities, outdoor play, reading, crafts, and helping with homework when needed. I’m also happy to assist with light meal preparation, bedtime routines, and light housekeeping related to the children. My goal is to provide a safe, fun, nurturing environment where children feel supported and parents have peace of mind knowing their little ones are in caring, capable hands. I look forward to meeting your family!
