Hi! I’m Jasmine, and I’m a sophomore at Madonna University. Im a part time student so I have lots of time to devote to working! I was previously an assistant teacher for preschool and I work at a nursery. I have experience with every age and have been babysitting/nannying for 5 years. I can drive and run errands as needed. I have also worked as a caregiver and have experience with special needs.
“Very good & easy going. She watched my 2yr old daughter and was on time for the 8:30am job time. She was also very flexible! Will hire again! ”
Hi! My name is Hailey, and I am currently wrapping up my first year as a Kindergarten teacher in Canton, MI. I absolutely love what I do and enjoy working with children of all ages. I am looking for a part-time opportunity during the summer months while I am off from school, and I would love to support a family who needs extra help. I have experience working with children from 3 months old through 5th grade, and I especially enjoy caring for infants. Last winter, I worked with a wonderful family in Ann Arbor caring for their 5-month-old daughter for about 6 months. After that, I was lucky enough to help another amazing family during the summer with their infant daughter as well. I also worked for two years in a childcare center where I truly fell in love with babies and toddlers while in college. These experiences have helped me become very comfortable with feeding, bottles, diapering, nap schedules, and all of the daily routines that come with infant care. I truly enjoy building strong connections not only with the children I care for, but also with their families. My goal is always to make your life easier in any way I can. I am happy to help with light household chores, meal prep, errands, organizing, walking pets, and keeping things tidy. I also take care of all baby-related tasks such as preparing bottles, cleaning and sanitizing, baby laundry, diaper changes, restocking supplies, and anything else needed to keep your little one happy and safe. I would describe myself as patient, reliable, nurturing, and very organized, and I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and loving environment for the children I work with. I would love the opportunity to get to know your family and become someone you can trust and rely on. I look forward to connecting with you!
Hi, I’m Shylah! I’m a part-time student at Wayne community college with a passion for working with children. Over the past 7 years, I’ve babysat my nephews regularly since they were 10 months old. I’ve recently gained 1 year of professional experience in childcare with children ranging 4 months old to 3 years old. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn and play.
“Shylah is very professional, loved playing with my son, cared for my two dogs, and cleaned up right before I got home. Can’t wait for her to come again!!”
Hi there! I’m a dependable and nurturing caregiver with years of hands-on experience across childcare, pet care, and home support. I’ve helped raise my younger siblings and cousins from a young age and have babysat for families throughout Canton during high school and middle school. I’m especially experienced with toddlers and kids (ages 2–12), including those with autism and ADHD — my own little brother and cousins have given me firsthand insight and patience in neurodiverse care. I’ve studied psychology and sociology in school, so I understand not only how to care, but why children need the right kind of attention and emotional support at every stage. Parents have called me mature beyond my years, with a natural ability to make kids feel safe and heard. I’m currently an intern at a real estate agency and on track to receive my Michigan license this year — a path that’s helped sharpen my professionalism and organization, while still allowing me the flexibility to do what I love: caregiving. As for pets — I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my current shih tzu who’s been with me over 10 years. I’m also no stranger to cleaning; I’ve maintained large family homes (like my dad’s in Ypsilanti), helped my aunts around their houses, and take pride in keeping a tidy, welcoming space. Whether you’re looking for a sitter, pet companion, or just an extra set of reliable hands — I’ve got you covered. I show up with care, calm, and a whole lot of heart.

"UrbanSitter is my go-to for quality sitters! I can book weeks ahead of time or easily find a same-day sitter when in a bind. I even hired a part-time nanny during a daycare transition. Customer service is helpful and babysitters respond in a timely manner."
