Hello, My name is Alec. I am a student at the University of Michigan home for the summer. I would love to help your family with babysitting, housesitting, errand help, cooking, and more. I have my own vehicle and have experience with children Pre-K through Middle School. I love playing sports, doing crafts, playing games, and being outside. I look forward to getting a chance to meet you soon.
Hi everyone, my name is Shelby. I'm currently a 5th-8th grade educator but have taken care of newborns, and worked professionally in environments with children as young as 3 and up to 17. I love creating fun and inclusive spaces for children which is why I've dedicated the last 8 years to working with them! I'm also a huge pet lover (with a rabbit and pug of my own) and would love to meet any fur babies of yours 😄. Feel free to reach out if you have any questions about my qualifications or experiences. I'm CPR/First Aid/AED certified.
As the second oldest of seven children, I have spent most of my life caring for kids. From ages 17 to 19, I was the sole caregiver for my two youngest siblings, then ages 0 to 4, due to an illness in the family. I started babysitting at a young age and quickly built a reputation for being especially good with young children. I went on to work in K-12 summer camps for four summers, then spent two years as a program leader in a K-8 public school afterschool program. During my thirteen years as a flight attendant, I completed annual first aid training, including infant and child CPR and Heimlich maneuver certification. I live in Cole Valley with my small, perfect dog Lola and my partner, who works at a tech start up. I'm reliable, responsible, and very flexible with scheduling. I hold an undergraduate degree in Global Studies and am currently transitioning into education and social impact work. I stay active in the community through food insecurity and youth literacy volunteer programs, as an avid reader, I love to spread my love of books to the next generation! I am a deeply curious and empathic person who believes in meeting someone where they are at and always listening first. I have pets my entire adult life and am also happy to pet sit or take your furry friend for a walk.
“Kayla was an immediate hit with the kids. She was super warm, gentle and calm, and handled a teething baby with grace!”
Hi! I’m a caring, responsible, and patient caregiver who enjoys spending time with children and helping families feel supported. I have experience caring for kids of different ages and I always focus on creating a safe, fun, and positive environment. I’m reliable, organized, and comfortable helping with routines, meals, playtime, bedtime, and light household tasks. I’m also flexible with occasional babysitting and part-time care, and I always try to make children feel comfortable, happy, and well cared for.
“Jhenifer was great with our little girls. They absolutely loved her. She watched them for a full night after a long day and helped with dinner and bed time.”
Hi! I’m Cinthia, and I have 6+ years of experience caring for children of all ages — from infants as young as 4 months old to pre-teens up to 12 years old. I truly love working with children and especially enjoy caring for infants, toddlers, and young girls. I love keeping kids engaged through age-appropriate activities, outdoor play, creative games, reading, and helping with homework, while always making sure they feel safe, comfortable, and cared for. I’m CPR certified, patient, responsible, and dependable. I bring a calm, positive energy into the home and always do my best to make things easier for both the children and their parents. I’m currently looking for part-time opportunities, especially on Mondays and Fridays, as well as occasional babysitting such as date nights, evenings, weekends, and last-minute or extra help when families need it. I have a valid U.S. driver’s license and my own transportation, and I’m comfortable driving children when needed. If you’re looking for someone caring, trustworthy, responsible, and fun to spend time with your little ones, I’d love to connect! ❤️
“I’m so happy to recommend Cinthia as a babysitter. She’s been amazing with my twins and has truly become part of our family. From the start, she showed how reliable and trustworthy she is, and I always feel at ease leaving my kids with her. She takes care of all the daily needs ( feeding them, giving them baths, getting them ready for bed) and she’s even stayed overnight when we needed extra help. Having someone so calm and patient in the house has been a huge plus, especially with two little ones who sometimes both want attention at the same time. What I really appreciate is how she goes beyond just “watching” the kids. She takes them out on playdates, keeps them busy with fun activities, and makes sure they’re safe while still letting them explore and enjoy themselves. She has a really gentle way about her, and the twins just light up when she’s around. Even on hectic days, she never seems flustered and always keeps things running smoothly. Cinthia is dependable, easy to communicate with, and so caring toward my kids. Knowing she’s there gives me peace of mind because I know my twins are happy and well looked after. Any family would be lucky to have her as their babysitter, and I can honestly say she’s been one of the best things to happen to us.”
