Katlyn $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Katlyn- I’m a kind and outgoing design major, currently attending Wayne State University. I’m going into my last year of school for my Bachelors in the fall! I love to spend my time planning fun and creative activities, going to the park and ( very recreationally ) playing sports like volleyball, throwing a football, or doing yoga. Video games have always been a super fun way for me to let loose and turn my brain off at the end of the day. As for my professional experience, I spent a few years with the YMCA doing before and afterschool care. I worked with Elementary School kids attending the UPA Charter Schools across Detroit. Children I worked with typically ranged from ages 5-12, and I’d supervise them in groups of 10-15, so I’m absolutely equipped for a fast-paced ( and high energy ) environment! Over my time there I enjoyed developing and implementing an engaging and creative after-care program schedule. There’s plenty of extensive training that I’ve had the opportunity to develop as well, including playground safety classes, CPR training, behavioral management courses, and more. I love a structured environment, and developing something that is just as fun as it is reliable and rewarding. Being a good role model and providing a safe space for a child to learn, grow, and thrive is something I find very rewarding! The opportunity to do rewarding and meaningful work watching children, while also working on my own personal career development is something I’m looking for in an family employer ❤️ I hope to bring nothing but happiness, safety, and reliability to families I work with.

“Nanny Stephanie was absolutely amazing! I reached out very last minute and she was extremely accommodating by going out of her way to coordinate with me to be able to watch my daughter. She was responsive throughout the day and she sent pictures. My daughter had an amazing time I came to pick my daughter up earlier than expected and she did not want to leave. Nanny Stephanie told me about her processes, background, what to expect and just overall made me feel comfortable and understood as a single mother looking for a sitter that was trustworthy and safe. I definitely recommend and I will be using her again. Thank you again Nanny Stephanie!”

"When we hired Amani, we felt like we hit the jackpot. We were very lucky to find her on UrbanSitter at the beginning of school year. She was picking up kids from school, taking them to afternoon activities, helping them with assignments. She prepped food for them, helped organize their closets and keep their spaces neat and orderly. We would hire her again in a heartbeat."
