Maureen  D., Nanny in South Lyon, MI 48178 with 40 years of paid experience

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.

Valerie R., Nanny in South Lyon, MI 48178 with 23 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.

Valerie has been AMAZING! We've been lucky to have her services for about 12 hours a week for the past year. She has beautifully cared for, taught and loved on our now 1.5 year-old son (who just adores her) while my wife and I both worked from home... as well as occasionally our now 4 year-old daughter (who also adores her!). Additionally, Valerie would support our child-care needs for weekends-away, sick-days etc. Valerie brought such love and attention to our kiddos, their evolving allergy needs and eagerly took them outside for daily walks and exploration. She has been a true gift. We are so sad that Valerie will be moving away, even though our youngest is starting school in the fall, we always hoped to continue relying on Valerie for her wonderful care of our young family. We hold her in the highest regard, and future families would be lucky to have Valerie as part of their child-raising village.

Meemee E., Nanny in South Lyon, MI 48178 with 8 years of paid experience

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.

Did a great job with my 7, then 8 year-old son. Helped with school during the pandemic. Him and her grew pretty close.

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!

Hi there! I've recently retired after spending 30 years teaching elementary special ed. I've also raised three lovely (now grown) children of my own. I'm CPR and first-aid certified. I love doing fun, active, and educational activities with little ones. I can drop off or pick up from school, prepare food, do light housekeeping - whatever you need!

Dean S.

Dian was an exceptional nanny for my son, Miles, and I can’t recommend her highly enough. She is incredibly trustworthy and reliable, always showing up on time and ready to engage. More than just a caregiver, Dian truly became a part of our family, treating Miles with the same love and care as she would her own children. With over 30 years of experience as a teacher in the Birmingham school district, she brings a wealth of knowledge, patience, and understanding, making her a natural educator as well as a caregiver. Dian has raised three wonderful children of her own, and her nurturing, positive influence was evident every day. She knows instinctively how to balance fun with structure—you won’t need to remind her about limiting screen time, encouraging outdoor play, or teaching self-reliance and chores; she integrates these values seamlessly. Dian's creativity shines through in everything she does, from organizing sports activities, bike rides, arts and crafts, to finding engaging new ways to keep Miles learning and growing. She often went above and beyond, planning special outings after school if my work schedule required it. Whether it was a local event, a museum, or a new park to explore, Dian always ensured Miles had meaningful, enriching experiences. We miss having her around on a daily basis and still keep in touch, as she truly became a cherished part of our lives. Unfortunately, due to financial changes, we could no longer retain her services, which was a great loss for us. If she is still available, consider yourself lucky—Dian is an incredible catch. Her wealth of experience, genuine care, and proactive, creative approach make her the perfect nanny for any family.

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.

My girls absolutely LOVE Monica! I have a 3 and 5 year old, who always have the best time when Monica babysits. From doing crafts and science experiments to going on walks and playing outside, they are always entertained. And bonus- we don’t come home to a disaster of a mess when we get back home. We don’t know what we would do without her service! ☺️

We loved Nancy! She was very friendly and engaging with my daughter. She gave her tons of attention and by the end of the day I'm pretty sure she liked Nancy more that me :) Thanks for helping us out last minute!
