Find an emergency babysitter in Shaftsburg, MI

I have a strong background in working with children and caring for animals. During high school, I completed two years in an Early Childhood Education program, where I gained hands-on experience working with children and completed four placements in elementary school classrooms. These experiences taught me how to be patient, responsible, dependable, and comfortable working with children of different ages and personalities. I also have experience caring for children outside of school. I have two nieces and two nephews who I spend time with, as well as experience babysitting a one-year-old. I enjoy creating a safe, fun, and comfortable environment for children and making sure they feel cared for and supported. I also have several years of experience caring for animals. I have three dogs of my own and have previously dog-sat for a family. I am comfortable with the responsibility that comes with caring for both children and pets, and I take pride in being someone families can trust.

Hello! My name is Riley and my experience with children comes from my family! I have 6 siblings total, 2 of which have children whom I’ve babysat for.

Hi my name is Gabriella - Brie for short. I am a Junior at Michigan State University double majoring in International Relations and Supply Chain Management. I am from the Washington DC suburbs and am here for school. I offer childcare, pet services, and household services. At age 12 I began mother's helping in my neighborhood, advancing to babysitting and petsitting at 14, by 16 I added housesitting, driving children to and from school and activities, and tutoring to my services. I have both house sit and pet sit overnight, I always encourage families to hire a live-in pet sitter while gone rather than a day walker or boarding so your pet is used to them and has a routine in a safe and familiar place. I love sports, reading, walking when the weather is nice, games and cards, and am generally a chatty person. I have been described as warm and bubbly, while also being able to adapt to a child's temperament and mood needs. I do ask a lot of clarifying questions because I never want to overstep your role as a parent or pet parent, so open and clear communication is a must for me.

Hi! My name is Kendall and I am a Sophomore at Michigan State University. I am studying Kinesiology with plans to become a Pediatric Physical Therapist. I am offering childcare, pet care, and household services. I have been babysitting since I was 14 years old. Some of my responsibilities have included driving to/from school and practices, helping with homework, doing crafts, and playing games. I also was a demonstrator at my dance studio for younger dancers for 4 years. I can cook, clean, run errands, watch animals, whatever!

I have been babysitting/ had experience with small children since I was 9 or 10- first with my little brother and cousins and later babysitting outside the home. I helped with Vacation Bible School and Sunday School for many years, as a leader. I now have nieces and nephews that I have babysat over the years too. Kids seem to like me fairly quickly- I honestly think it's the curly hair doing a lot of the work lol I love doing crafts or reading (voices and all) and my family loves to play games. As far as the fur babies- I grew up having cats, all my friends have cats, my mom used to foster for the Humane Society and I've got my own 2 handsome sons. I have also had experience living with a dog, as well as dogsitting and I am very comfortable around them. I like to keep my spaces pretty tidy and organized and clean my own home regularly. You can often find me gently bossing my friend around so she gets her chores and tasks done lol
