Lillian $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Sterling Heights, 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.

Ester $20 per hour for 1 child

I’ve babysat and had nanny jobs since being a teenager, I’ve always loved babies and kids! I worked at an afterschool program for a total of 5 years as well. I have three sons of my own and truly love every stage kids go through! I have always found it easy and natural to connect with kids of every age. I genuinely care about them and the experiences they are having and love becoming like an older sister/auntie figure in their life. I love being present with them! I find playing games, playing sports, being creative, or just hanging out can be such fun opportunities that bring real connection.

Rhyan $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi — my name is Rhyan and I have a background in biology, with a degree from North Carolina Central University. I’m currently working toward a career in healthcare, so I have a strong science background along with patience and attention to detail that comes from working with people and families. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age kids since I was a young teenager. I’m comfortable managing daily routines — feeding, naps, playtime, and keeping things calm and safe whether it’s one kid or a few.
