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.

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! 🥰💕

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.

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 successfully raised my daughter alone. She is now a college graduate and is employed in her field of study. 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.
Meemee E.

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.

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!

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!

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!
