Alexis  K., Child Care in Whitmore Lake, MI 48189 with 10 years of paid experience

I'm a dependable, caring nanny who genuinely enjoys spending time with children and supporting families. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where kids can learn, grow, and feel comfortable being themselves. Whether we're doing creative activities, spending time outdoors, helping with developmental milestones or simply following a consistent routine. I bring patience, reliability, and a calm approach to each day. I understand that every family is unique, and I take pride in adapting to each child's personality and needs while maintaining open communication with parents. My goal is to be a trusted, supportive presence that helps make family life run a little more smoothly. I look forward to building meaningful connections and providing attentive, compassionate care.

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.

Rebecca E., Child Care in Whitmore Lake, MI 48189 with 10 years of paid experience

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)

We’ve had Rebecca sit for our two kids (preschool and elementary age) and she was fantastic. She got them outside to play for over an hour, then handled their whole bedtime routine. They were sound asleep when we got home, which almost never happens! The kids absolutely loved her and keep asking when she’s coming back. She’s responsive, on time, and easy to coordinate with, and she followed our routines without us having to explain twice. We feel lucky to have found her and would recommend her to any family without hesitation.

Valerie R., Child Care in Whitmore Lake, MI 48189 with 12 years of paid experience

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.

I am an loving and responsible mother of a beautiful young lady. I have over 40 years experience caring for children in private homes and in licensed day care centers.

I also have over 30 years as a cook/chef, both privately and in day cares, hospitals, hotels, and senior living centers. I also have creative and artistic talent, which in the past has helped with not just school projects, homework, but also with activities to help to build a child's imagination. I enjoy cooking, sports, playing games, reading and arts and crafts.

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.

Nely M., Child Care in Whitmore Lake, MI 48189 with 5 years of paid experience

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!

Absolutely Outstanding Nanny! We have been truly blessed to have Gabrielle (Gabby) as our son’s nanny for the past year, and it’s with heavy hearts that we say goodbye. From day one, Gabby has been an absolute rockstar — always on time, every single day, without fail. Her reliability gave us complete peace of mind as working parents. Gabby communicated beautifully with us and showed wonderful initiative whenever our now 4-year-old was having a tough moment. Whether it was a meltdown, a tricky behavior phase, or just needing a little extra patience and creativity, she jumped in with kindness, problem-solving, and a huge heart. She didn’t just watch our son — she truly cared for him, helped him grow, and made every afternoon brighter. Gabby quickly became a trusted, loved member of our family. We will miss her warm smile, her energy, and the joy she brought into our home every single day. Gabby, congratulations on your next exciting chapter — you deserve all the best! Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for everything you’ve poured into our son and our family this past year. You made a real, lasting difference, and we will never forget it. We will miss you so much! We would recommend Gabrielle to any family in a heartbeat — she is truly one of the best. 5 stars doesn’t even feel like enough!

Mikayla W., Child Care in Whitmore Lake, MI 48189 with 9 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Mikayla Warner. I have been working with kids my whole life but started actually getting paid for it when I was 15. Growing up with 3 younger siblings, I learned from a young age how to navigate through many different situations. I have 3 Associate Degrees in Criminal Justice, Occupational Studies, and Liberal Arts. I'm 25 years old & married, and while I don't have any kids of my own yet, my husband's family is quite large so I have over 20 nieces and nephews ranging from all ages. I have built individual bonds and gained trust with each of them, including the ones who were older (9-14) and love each as if they are my own. I have worked at multiple daycare centers, nannied for a couple different families, am certified in first aid, CPR, and was raised by not one but two police officers so I always pay attention to my surroundings. I believe that all play is learning - whether it's jumping in mud puddles and learning about worms, or making macaroni necklaces for hand-Eye coordination, count me in!!

We hired Mikalya in May 2026 to watch our then 4 month old 3 days a week in a nanny share with another family with an 8 month old until we got our spot in daycare. It has been a great experience. Working remotely, I have had the opportunity to observe her skills firsthand. She has been proficient in figuring out and balancing both baby's schedules and needs and soothes two crying babies like a pro. She is communicative, reliable, and punctual. We plan to retain her as a babysitter after we start daycare.
