Alexis watched out 1.5 year old daughter for a few hours when we were in a pinch to find a sitter. She showed up early and navigated a new child and situation great.

Maureen was absolutely incredible with our girls! I have a 2 year old and 3 month old and she was able to watch them throughout a long weekend when we had numerous events to attend. My 2yr old is quite active and energetic and Maureen kept up with entertaining her amazingly. She also was so kind and sweet with my littlest one. It was such a piece of mind to have her as our sitter while we were on our trip and she truly treated them like family.

Hello everyone! My name is Rebecca (age 24). I am a current MSW student at U-M in their children, youth, and families pathway. I am looking for occasional babysitting opportunities for kids of all ages. My basic information is as follows: I focus on verbal communication with children, validating feelings, and breathing exercises when overwhelmed. I completely avoid timeouts or any negative reinforcement. I have ~10 years paid experience with ages 3mos to 14yrs old; up to four children at one time. I have my own reliable transportation, with a completely clean driving record, and can happily drive the kids to fun activities such as the park, the zoo, or splash pad. I am more than comfortable with pets so bring on the furry friends!! My guaranteed payment methods include cash, check, or zelle. I look forward to your messages :). Take care! (Edited 9/25/2026)

Rebecca has been absolutely wonderful with our children and around the house. She is jovial, punctual, and thoughtful. In addition to taking great care of the kids and engaging them in stimulating activities, she has helped with laundry, organizing, meal prep, and more. She is always asking how else she can be helpful and takes initiative to find ways to make our and the kids' lives easier. She always has an upbeat attitude and is very easy to work with. She’s a gem!

To Whom It May Concern, It is with great pleasure that I write this letter of recommendation for Ivorie, who worked as a nanny for my two children—a 6-year-old son and a 4-year-old daughter. During the time she was with our family, Ivorie consistently demonstrated reliability, warmth, and an extraordinary level of care. From the very beginning, Ivorie impressed us with her natural ability to connect with both children, understanding their individual needs and personalities. She brought structure to their daily routines while allowing space for creativity, learning, and play. Her thoughtful planning of educational and recreational activities helped support our children's development in fun and meaningful ways. She is exceptionally responsible—always punctual, communicative, and calm under pressure. I trusted her completely with the well-being and safety of my children, and she never gave me reason to feel otherwise. Whether it was managing school pickups, preparing healthy meals, or soothing a scraped knee, Ivorie handled every task with kindness, maturity, and professionalism. Ivorie, also maintained an organized and clean environment and always kept us updated on the children's day—from small milestones to any concerns we should be aware of. Her presence brought a sense of stability and reassurance to our home, and she quickly became a valued member of our family. We were genuinely sad to see Ivorie go, but any family would be fortunate to have her as a caregiver. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone looking for a dependable, nurturing, and skilled nanny. Please feel free to contact me if you would like any additional information. Warm regards, Deloris M. W., MBA, Teacher Auburn Hills, MI 48326 June 26, 2025

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.

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.

* certified to work with special needs / austitic children* As the oldest sister of two young boys, I found myself being a mom, a friend, a teacher, and a counselor. Throughout the years of watching them grow, they have taught me so much about how to better communicate with kids, understanding their emotions/ how to work through them, creativity, and most importantly, patience. One of the biggest skills I have developed from my experience with kids is patience. I believe it is important to understand that this is their first time experiencing the world so it requires patience and understanding on our part for them to grow. I’m big on not only direct learning but also creative learning. I’ve worked with children in classroom settings in the past which has given me a good idea of learning strategies they respond to best. I’m also a certified RBT so I have experience working with children on the spectrum and it has taught me so much about how their mind works and what tools can be more beneficial for their growth. Finding new ways to make learning fun for kids is one of my favorite things because as a college student, I find myself needing a reminder that education can still be entertaining. To kids everything is so new and exciting and it’s a blast to be a part of that journey. My main goal is to be able to help children, especially young ones, to learn new and valuable skills that can later help them in life. From the basic things such as knocking homework out so you don’t worry about it later to, developing different ways to express themselves and building positive habits. I have experience with children as young as infants and I’ve worked in clinics and daycares to help increase my experience with younger children. I am comfortable changing diapers, feeding, and cleaning anything you need! Some things about me: * I speak french * Certified Registered Behavior Technician (Autistic Children) * I was a lifeguard for 2 1/2 years * I am CPR certified * I have done private swim lessons for kids 6+ * I cook and bake * Great at cleaning * Reliable * Good time management * Responsible

Sandrine has been hugely valuable to our family. Our entire family immediately took to her, giving this momma peace of mind. She babysat for us and even took care of the dog who doesn’t like many people. She kept the play area organized and made sure my instructions were followed, though better than that was her innate ability to bond with our 3yo. who felt safe, cared for, and understood while having lots of indoor/outdoor playtime, trail walks, playground and pool time. On the days she visited, our evenings were calm, where we could all unwind, dine, and get to bed. She was always professional, pleasant, fun, joyful, uplifting, caring, selfless, polite and kind - all characteristics we want our child to model. Always on time. Reliable. The BEST written and verbal communication skills of anyone I’ve seen and interviewed on sittercity. Sandrine is a true joy, a big part of our family who will be sorely be missed. Our family was very blessed by her calming presence in our lives. She was incredibly helpful, and always offered to assist when she saw something was needed. She set the bar high for future sitters!

Katrina is beyond amazing! She is great with my boys (started when the kids were 5 and 7), and really easy to work with. My boys are always asking when she is going to return. She is prompt, reliable, and really engaging. She also is super organized and neat. Several times, after my boys went down for the night, she has organized the play room or folded laundry that was set aside. She has become like a member of our family and we love her ❤️

Hello! My name is Nely, and I’m a caring, dependable, and responsible mom with a genuine love for children. Now that my own children are grown, I would love the opportunity to care for and spend time with little ones again. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and I speak both English and Spanish. I’m comfortable preparing meals, keeping things clean and organized, helping with routines, and making sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for. I enjoy creating a fun and nurturing environment where kids can be themselves while also keeping them on their routines and maintaining a safe space. I understand how important it is for parents to feel comfortable and confident when leaving their children in someone else’s care, and I would treat every child with the same patience, kindness, and attention I would want for my own. I’d love the chance to get to know your family and help make your day a little easier!
