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.

Hello! I’m Meemee—a 24-year-old University of Michigan graduate with a Bachelor’s degree in Health Sciences. I currently work part-time as a certified pharmacy technician while preparing for graduate school, and I continue to offer occasional babysitting services for families seeking trusted, compassionate care. With over 9 years of hands-on childcare experience—from helping raise my younger siblings to supporting local families—I bring a calm, nurturing, and dependable presence to every home. 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. As one of his primary caregivers, I developed not only practical care skills, but deep patience, empathy, and a strong sense of responsibility. 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.

Hello! My name is Moriah, and I am a dedicated, compassionate babysitter and caregiver with over 12 years of experience working with children from infancy through age 18. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and Human Development, and I am First Aid and CPR certified, ensuring your child’s safety and well-being are always my top priorities. I view babysitting as more than supervision — I see it as being extra hands and feet for families, offering protection, care, and encouragement while helping children grow into the best versions of themselves. I bring a calm, nurturing presence, strong communication skills, and an understanding of child development to every family I work with. In addition to childcare, I also have 3 years of professional cleaning experience, allowing me to help maintain an organized, clean, and comfortable environment for your home.

Hello! My name is Monica and I started to work with kids through my dance studio, where I discovered my love for making an impact on children’s lives. I have 5 years of babysitting experience, mostly with children ages 2-12. While I babysit, I am always happy to help out with dishes, laundry, or even meal prep. Additionally, I’m a chemical engineering student, and by default a pretty good science tutor too! I have my own car and certifications in both CPR and first aid, so I am ready for any situation thrown at me.

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.
