Emma H., Child Care in Oakland, MI 48363 with 6 years of paid experience

Hello! I'm Emma Holmquist, an experienced and reliable nanny dedicated to creating a nurturing environment for your children. Having recently worked in both nanny positions and at a child care center, I've had the experience of caring for children across all age groups- from infants as young as 6 weeks old to middle schoolers! In my roles as a nanny, I provided care tailored to the unique needs of each family, including cooking a healthy meal, teaching new skills, tidying the house, and providing transportation. At the child care center, I followed a structured routine that included feeding, teaching, outdoor and indoor play, nap time, and engaging activities until pick-up. In addition to my experience as a nanny and child care assistant, I've also worked at a rehabilitation center providing services to those with special needs. I am committed to your child's safety and education, which is evident with my CPR certification and Bachelor's degree in Psychology (completing numerous courses specific to child development).

Geri D., Child Care in Oakland, MI 48363 with 40 years of paid experience

Hi. My name is Geri Dillon and I live in Troy, MI. I am a young and active mom/grandma who enjoys children. I am a warm, kind, attentive and positive person. I have had a successful background check, am CPR Certified and have a clean driving record. I am also fully vaccinated! I have filled in the gap (employee illness or leaves) at 3 preschools/daycares: Quinn Quality Home Preschool, Jolly Giant Daycare and Dillon’s Littl’ Darlins’ (owned by my daughter-in-law). I retired 7 years ago and have been supporting children in virtual school and have also been tutoring children of all ages. I have been a Nanny for several families. I recently completed a Nanny position for a family of 3 children, ages 7, 5 and 3 (starting when he was an infant). This often included overnight care. References can be provided upon request. Your child/children will be in safe, experienced hands, will receive lots of attention and will be well cared for. I look forward to hearing back from you to discuss your needs, goals and parenting style. Geri

I have 7 years of experience caring for newborns through preteens. I value emotional intelligence, healthy boundaries, and gentle guidance. I understand that every child feels and processes the world differently, and I tailor my care to meet each child where they are—supporting both their emotional and developmental needs in a calm, respectful environment.

A bit about me, I spend a lot of my time riding horses and hanging around at home with my husband and our dog. Previously in 2023 I graduated from Wayne State University and just 10 days after graduating, I accepted a new position in Marketing at a local car dealership! In terms of child care, I have around 7+ years of experience helping different families with a handful of different needs. Prior to my new position, I nannied full-time for a private family in Birmingham for close to three years. I helped with grocery errands, getting the youngest to school, getting the kids to bed. Given my new availability, I am really hoping to find a new loving family or two that wants a dependable date night sitter every or every other weekend! My husband and I are starting our nest egg for our honeymoon come September so the pressure is on! We are very fortunate to be visiting Hawaii so we hope to save up enough to do all of the things!

Colleen W., Child Care in Oakland, MI 48363 with 11 years of paid experience

Hey families. I am a Nanny with over 13 years of experience caring for children ranging from newborns to teenagers. I have a college education in childcare development and I bring a great amount of knowledge and care to each role. I was a day care teacher in the UK and took care of babies from new born to 5 years old and after school programs where children aged up to 7. Jan 2022- Oct 2023, I was as an au pair for almost 2 years and I currently work with multiple families one being everyday and others being occasionally. I am very good at multitasking many children at one since working in day cares required so. My role includes a lot of responsibilities including school drop offs, driving to activities, laundry, sleep training, dinner preps, bottle cleaning/feeding and more.

I’m a student currently studying to become an Anesthesiologist Assistant and have experience caring for younger children, including my cousins. I’m comfortable with infants, toddlers, and school-age children, and I’ve helped with meal prep, homework, diaper changes, and light housekeeping. I enjoy fun and engaging activities like crafts, games, and playground trips! When I’m not at school or babysitting, I spend my time writing or painting. I’m responsible, reliable, and comfortable with pets. I do provide transportation and I strive to make sure children feel safe, happy, and engaged while giving parents peace of mind. I’d be happy to answer any questions or chat about opportunities!

Hi I’m Sara! I have a deep passion when it comes to working with kids. I am a Montessori preschool teacher and have been nannying for over a decade. I think each kid has something special, goofy, fun and curious about them which is why I love getting to know and care for each and every one. I value compassion, structure, and creativity and I believe that is reflected in the way I interact with children.
