Giselle C., Child Care in Oakland, MI 48363 with 7 years of paid experience

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.

Giselle was a joy to have in our home. She was on time and great with our kids. Both our 10 y/o son and our 8 y/o daughter had nothing but nice things to say about her and ask if she could come sit for them again. Would recommend and use again.

Stefanie was an absolute pleasure to work with! She was very responsive in the hiring process and throughout our entire interaction. Upon arrival to our house on the day of the job, she immediately connected with my two daughters, too. I knew they would be in good company and the girls said they had a good time with Stefanie also. I would definitely hire Stefanie again! And she's a nursing student!

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

Myra S., Child Care in Oakland, MI 48363 with 10 years of paid experience

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!

Adriana B., Child Care in Oakland, MI 48363 with 3 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Adriana, and I have a genuine passion for working with children. I’ve been caring for kids since I was 10 years old, starting with all of the little ones in my family. My grandma always joked that by the time I become a mom, I’d already have years of experience! Even as a child, I loved playing “school,” making my grandparents be the students while I was the teacher. Since then, my love for childcare has grown into a career. I own and operate Adriana’s Angels Childcare, where I provide professional nanny and babysitting services for families. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and school-aged children, and I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and engaging environment through play, reading, outdoor activities, crafts, and educational learning. I graduated from Wayne State University with a Bachelor of Science in Criminal Justice and a Bachelor of Arts in Law, after earning my associate degree. My education has strengthened my communication, problem-solving, and organizational skills, which I bring into my work with children every day. I’m CPR certified, have reliable transportation, a clean driving record, and excellent references. Above all, I’m patient, dependable, and committed to making each child feel safe, supported, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind. If you’re looking for a reliable, experienced nanny who truly loves working with children, I’d love the opportunity to help your family! 🌸

I was a teacher for 20 yrs and a Principal at a public school for 10 yrs. I just retired and I am looking for some part time work. I love children. I have two grown daughters and four lovely grandchildren. Now that they are all in school ( even the 3 yr. old) my daughter's don't need me to babysit that often during the day. I love children and one of my degrees is in child psychology. I know how important it is to raise children and I would like to be of assistance to you and treat your child as if they were my own.

Christiana is one of a kind. She is soft spoken but immediately connects with children. She spent hours at a time with our grandson and never once did she hand him a screen so she could go check her phone. It was healthy activity after healthy activity. Walk to the park, wagon rides, bubbles, running, intro to skateboarding, play doh building games. Etc. we were sad when my daughter moved: thus no more Chrissy!! I told Christiana there were fish in our little lake. She goes to her car, brings out her always ready rod. Her and my grandson go fishing and in the first cast they caught a big bass. Christiana is deeply respectful of all humankind. She will become part of your family.

Sara H., Child Care in Oakland, MI 48363 with 14 years of paid experience

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.

Sara worked with our family for a few months and she was quick to learn the workings of our family. She has good Montessori experience and knows how to handle toddlers well. She took feedback very well and applied it the job.
