Hi, I’m Laila! I have been babysitting since I was a young teenager (almost 10 years) and have had plenty of experience in working with children of various ages.
Stay at home parent of 2 kids, ages 4 and 6. The older one is now in school and I can occasionally take on some extra care! We have a fun home space with a swing and lots of gross motor opportunities!
“Ellen is creative, calm and consistent with kids. I appreciate the way they balance engagement and solo play time with my son. Ellen is dependable and kind. 5 stars!”
Hello! I have 20 years of experience in childcare. My most recent experience is with infants and toddlers in part time care between the time when parents go back to work and the children start preschool. I also completed nursing school and am a registered nurse with an up to date basic life support certification for CPR from a hospital. I enjoy singing and dancing and art of all kinds. Happy to baby wear and stroller push on various adventures. I'm familiar with baby led weaning and many nap routine strategies and philosophies.
“Marina is reliable and my kids love it when she watches them. I'm confident they are well cared for in my absence, Marina is responsible and makes an effort to engage with each child and their different personalities and interests.”
Experienced caregiver and parent. Love kids and their weirdness. Everyone deserves love, acceptance, the space to make mistakes, and a safe person to help through tough moments.
Hi there! I’m a dependable and nurturing caregiver with years of hands-on experience across childcare, pet care, and home support. I’ve helped raise my younger siblings and cousins from a young age and have babysat for families throughout Canton during high school and middle school. I’m especially experienced with toddlers and kids (ages 2–12), including those with autism and ADHD — my own little brother and cousins have given me firsthand insight and patience in neurodiverse care. I’ve studied psychology and sociology in school, so I understand not only how to care, but why children need the right kind of attention and emotional support at every stage. Parents have called me mature beyond my years, with a natural ability to make kids feel safe and heard. I’m currently an intern at a real estate agency and on track to receive my Michigan license this year — a path that’s helped sharpen my professionalism and organization, while still allowing me the flexibility to do what I love: caregiving. As for pets — I’ve cared for dogs my whole life, including my current shih tzu who’s been with me over 10 years. I’m also no stranger to cleaning; I’ve maintained large family homes (like my dad’s in Ypsilanti), helped my aunts around their houses, and take pride in keeping a tidy, welcoming space. Whether you’re looking for a sitter, pet companion, or just an extra set of reliable hands — I’ve got you covered. I show up with care, calm, and a whole lot of heart.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
"Hannah was awesome. Went above & beyond to help me with a last minute emergency. She was really sweet & great with my 16mo old. Highly recommend!!"
