Find experienced child care providers in Ypsilanti, MI

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)

I’m a compassionate, kind, and nurturing caregiver who truly enjoys working with children at their level, following their interests, and supporting them as they learn, grow, and reach age-appropriate milestones. I love creating fun, engaging, and meaningful experiences for little ones through play, exploration, and learning! I enjoy getting out of the house if parents allow for fun and educational activities, such as: 🧸 Circle time 📚 Library visits 🦁 Zoo trips 🎨 Sensory play centers 🏛️ Museums and other enriching outings I value opportunities to keep children active, curious, and engaged while supporting their development in a loving and safe environment. ⏰ Ideal daily start time: 8:30–9:00 AM (m-f), depending on location. I’d love to connect with a family looking for someone who is caring, attentive, and passionate about helping their little ones thrive! Please feel free to message me with any opportunities or share this post with a family who may be looking. Thank you so much! 🥰💕

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 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.

Hi! I’m Kendyle, a student at the University of Michigan with 8 years of babysitting experience. I started babysitting when I was 11, riding my bike to care for five kids down the street ranging in age from 1 month to 9 years old. Since then, I’ve worked with over 15 families and truly enjoy building connections with kids and watching them grow. I’ve cared for children of all ages and have experience watching up to 8 kids on my own. I’m certified in babysitting and CPR, and I’ve also worked as a lifeguard and swim instructor, which has given me even more experience working with children in a safe and structured setting. In addition to childcare, I’ve also tutored kids and can help with homework when needed. I’m reliable, patient, and always happy to lend a hand. I’d love the opportunity to care for and support your family!

Hi! My name is Megan, and I am a registered nurse based in Westland, Michigan. I currently work in a pediatric cardiac ICU, but I do have a background in caring for NICU babies! Caring for children has always been a strong passion of mine :) As a babysitter, I enjoy creating a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment for children. I love taking the kids on walks or bike rides to nearby parks and around their neighborhood during warmer months, as well as playing games and doing creative indoor activities on rainy or snowy days. Michigan weather is unpredictable, so I always have options that are flexible! I tailor the activities not only to weather, but to each child as they have different personalities and likes/dislikes. I love learning about them and what they enjoy! Overall, getting to see their personalities flourish makes my job so rewarding, and I take pride in providing dependable, trustworthy care while supporting parents and families!
