Hi my name is Moideen! I’m a recent university graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. On the theoretical side, I studied the sociology and psychology of family dynamics and early childhood development. On the practical side, I have much experience sitting for the kids of my friends and friends of my parents and years of experience babysitting dozens of my cousins!

Lillian $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Utica, MI

Hello! My name is Lilly and I am currently a pre-nursing student. I am very passionate about working in the medical field and hope to work in pediatric nursing in the future, and I also enjoy working out and going to concerts in my free time. I have been babysitting for about 5 years now and was a part-time summer nanny for a family starting when the children were 5 and 8 to when they were 9 and 12. I have babysat ages ranging from 1-14 all together. I currently am BLS certified, which includes first aid, CPR, and emergency oxygen and have passed a babysitting course. I like to keep things organized, so working within a families schedule is very easy for me to keep consistent when I learn it. Babysitting has been one of my favorite jobs and I hope to continue this while I'm in school! I am also comfortable cooking and doing light housework, and any activities I do while babysitting I make sure are cleaned up completely before I leave.

Maya $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Maya, and I’m a caring, dependable, and patient childcare provider with 5 years of experience working with children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and children with autism and developmental delays. I’ve cared for children in both nannying and babysitting settings, including working with a foster family of four children and providing long term care for a toddler for two years. My experience includes preparing meals, diapering, potty training, nap and bedtime routines, keeping children engaged with fun age appropriate activities, and creating a safe and nurturing environment. I truly enjoy working with children and getting to know their individual personalities and needs. I’m responsible, attentive, and comfortable following a family’s routines and instructions. My goal is always to make sure children feel safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind.

Miriam 5 reviews
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 5 families in Utica, MI

Hi My name is Miriam but everyone calls me Mia. I work as a Pediatric Dental Assistant so experience with kids is a given. I work well with all ages 0 months to teens. I speak fluent English and Spanish and my personality is very bubbly. I love working with kids and I am great with kids who require a lot of TLC when scared or nervous. I have experience with special needs patients and I adapt very well in these circumstances. I love teaching kids new things and helping them understand everyday subjects or matters they do not comprehend. My level of patience is out of this world and I love to make little ones laugh. I am also a live in nanny every other week and have been for the past 7years.

“Mia is awesome! She has a bubbly personality and was wonderful with our 1 yr old son. I would hire her again anytime. Absolutely recommend!”
