Talia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my names Talia and I am a senior at MSU studying human development and family studies. I’ve always enjoyed caring for others and have built strong experience working with both children and seniors. I nannied for one child from infancy to age three, helping with daily routines, development, and creating a nurturing environment. I’ve also had many babysitting jobs with kids of all ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. I helped care for my grandfather with dementia, which taught me patience, empathy, and how to stay calm in challenging situations. I was also a swim instructor for children under four, where I focused on safety while making learning fun and engaging. Along with my hands-on experience, I’ve taken classes in childhood development and parenting, which help me better understand children’s needs. I’m reliable, caring, and I love working with kids!

Gracie $15 per hour for 1 child

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.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
