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!!

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Farmington, MI

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!
