Tyara East Lansing
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tyara (Ty-"air"-uh). I recently graduated from Liberty Hill High School and in the fall I will be attending Michigan State University, (Go Green!) where I will be studying social work. Since my freshman year of high school, I participated in an "education endorsement" which involves classes that prepare me for a career in education and other forms of training. I love kids and I would like to have a career that involves working with kids in the future. I have a fun and easy-going personality and I adapt and respond easily to any situation I encounter. I also have experience working with pets and I have a pet dog (Yorkshire terrier) of my own. Looking forward to working with you!

Adalyn Lansing
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, gained through my personal background. I grew up in foster care and spent much of my life helping care for my younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe, nurturing environment. I’m comfortable assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, and engaging kids in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and playtime, as well as helping with light household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, laundry, and errands. I’m dependable, punctual, and take pride in being someone families can trust.
