Meet college nannies and sitters from University of Michigan - Ann Arbor

Hi – My name is Karen, and I’m currently on a gap year from the University of Michigan. I’m using this time to work and save up before returning to finish my degree. I love working with kids and making sure they feel safe, happy, and cared for. I’ve helped my aunt with her nanny job and also worked at a home daycare, caring for children of different ages. I’ve also cared for my nieces, so I’m used to keeping things fun, patient, and organized. I can cook, help with light cleaning, and assist with household tasks. I don’t drive, but I’m reliable, always on time, and prefer families nearby or accessible by public transit. I’m also comfortable working with dogs and enjoy creating a warm, positive environment for families.

Hello! I am Stella, a Brooklyn-based (am happy to commute around the city) caregiver and recent college graduate with over 8 years of experience, primarily working with children ages 2-12. I’m an extremely patient and compassionate babysitter, who values communication with both kids and parents. I have experience with children experiencing neurodivergence and de-escalating big emotions with care, understanding, and speaking to children as equals. I prioritize safety/health, trust-building, and emotional well-being; minimizing screen-time and favoring outdoor activities, indulging in our imagination, art-making, learning, and hands-on activities. I’m an artist who loves dance, crafting, reading & writing, nature walks, and grounding exercises to calm down after a long day. I walk or take public transportation, am learning Italian and Spanish, and am extremely happy to cook healthy meals, clean, run errands, commute to various activities, and care for dogs and cats. I bring warmth, curiosity, joy, and love to every home I work with. I would love to chat and see if I’m a good fit for your family!

Hello! My name is Mary Kate, and I would love to be your next babysitter. I have experience working with school-aged children as both a camp counselor and a tutor, so I prioritize creating an environment that balances learning and fun. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, and as a creative person, I love incorporating art, imagination, and hands-on activities into playtime. I recently graduated from the University of Michigan and am currently taking a gap year before attending graduate school. During this time, I’m working full-time as a Student Success Coach with AmeriCorps and am especially interested in supporting families on weekends. I’m easygoing, reliable, and flexible, and I would love the opportunity to get to know you and your family!

My name is MaryRose. I am graduate of the University of Michigan's School of Social Work where I focused on practice with Children, Youth, and Families and received certification as a School Social Worker. I am also bilingual (English/Spanish)! I work full time as a social worker with Mondays off and availability Thursdays after 4:00 as well as weekends.

Low rate to get my first reviews! I have a Neuroscience degree from the University of Michigan, and I'm hoping to build a bigger babysitting network to supplement the income from my part-time job, which involves social media and live comedy. Don't let my lack of reviews scare you away! I'm quite normal and definitely not creepy, and I'm happy to have a quick videochat before you take the plunge and book the unreviewed (but not inexperienced for the record!!) babysitter. I have babysat and nannied extensively over the past 12 years, and am comfortable with infants up to teens. In the past I've worked as a full time fifth grade math support staff in a public school, a preschool swim instructor, and nurse aide in a dementia facility for covid lockdown. I'm very attentive! I'm rarely on my phone when I'm with kids unless it's for something that matters, like to take a cute pic of them or to call a pediatrics MD about a nonurgent health issue—which is actually quite convenient for me because my mom is one. Once I get a handful of reviews, I'll start charging more like $30-40/hr depending on the number of kids. So send a message soon—you don't want to miss these Black Friday deals!

As an exhibiting artist and former full-time arts educator, I believe in facilitating meaningful, creative, and developmentally appropriate experiences for the children and seniors I care for. I pride myself in my ability to anticipate needs, develop organizational systems for families and care teams, and to communicate clearly. The foundation of my care skills was laid during my first 4 years of nonprofit education work, where I primarily taught creative movement to ages 3-5 and to seniors in residential programs. Later, I nannied an incredible infant from 8mo to 2.5 years and worked for 2 years in an after school enrichment program, and I was a full-time live-in caregiver for a person with brain cancer in their last year of life. I currently substitute teach in ECE classrooms around the city and run my own business as a Licensed Massage Therapist. I believe in getting the people I care for out of the house, moving their bodies in nature, and enjoying everything this city has to offer. Certifications include: MFA in Art (University of Michigan), BFA in Dance (Ohio University), CPR/AED, Massage Therapist License, 200hr Yoga Certification, and Washington Food Handlers Card.
