Hi, my name is Caden, and I am currently a sophomore at Michigan State University. I offer childcare, care for children and adults with disabilities, senior care, house sitting, and pet sitting. I am an experienced caregiver with years of experience working with children as both a babysitter and a camp counselor. I also have over 300 hours of volunteer experience assisting adults with mental and physical disabilities. I am responsible, patient, energetic, and dependable, with a strong ability to keep children engaged through games, activities, and outdoor adventures while ensuring a safe and positive environment. In addition to childcare, I am comfortable helping with household tasks and pet care. My goal is to provide reliable, attentive care and create a positive experience for every family I work with.
I am an undergraduate senior at MSU studying neuroscience and Spanish! I am also pre-med! I am a lifeguard, and I teach swimming lessons. I teach students ages 3 years to adult. CPR and first aid certification are included with my lifeguard certification. I have experience caring for dogs, cats and rabbits! I am very patient and have a positive attitude. I can clean any room and run any errand!
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!
Hello! My name is Sage , and I am a senior at Michigan State University studying psychology with a minor in human development and social services. I absolutely adore children and have experience caring for children across a wide range of ages. I have babysat for numerous families for years at a time and have loved watching the children grow, develop, and reach new milestones. I am responsible, outgoing, patient, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children. I love engaging with kids and planning a variety of activities that are fun, creative, and age-appropriate while they are in my care. I also have experience working with children through my internship at a women and children’s shelter. While there, I regularly cared for children while their mothers took time for themselves or attended to other responsibilities. This experience strengthened my ability to be patient, understanding, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help families with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and running errands. I am also very comfortable around animals! I have two dogs and a cat, and I have experience living with roommates who had a bearded dragon and a hedgehog. I love giving back to my community and would be grateful for the opportunity to support families and make a positive difference in their lives!
Hi! My name is Gracie and I am a current college student at MSU. I offer childcare and household services with hands-on experience. I have experience in caring for toddlers and children through babysitting and helping care for family members. I have been involved in caring for and supporting my younger brother with Down syndrome, which has taught me to be patient, attentive, and understanding to each child's individual needs. I enjoy activities, spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and helping with homework. I am also comfortable with simple meals, cleaning after children, and household tasks.
