Tyara $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Tyara (Ty-"air"-uh). I recently graduated from Liberty Hill High School and in the fall I will be attending Michigan State University, (Go Green!) where I will be studying social work. Since my freshman year of high school, I participated in an "education endorsement" which involves classes that prepare me for a career in education and other forms of training. I love kids and I would like to have a career that involves working with kids in the future. I have a fun and easy-going personality and I adapt and respond easily to any situation I encounter. I also have experience working with pets and I have a pet dog (Yorkshire terrier) of my own. Looking forward to working with you!

Sage $14 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Sage , and I am a senior at Michigan State University studying psychology with a minor in human development and social services. I absolutely adore children and have experience caring for children across a wide range of ages. I have babysat for numerous families for years at a time and have loved watching the children grow, develop, and reach new milestones. I am responsible, outgoing, patient, and passionate about creating a safe and positive environment for children. I love engaging with kids and planning a variety of activities that are fun, creative, and age-appropriate while they are in my care. I also have experience working with children through my internship at a women and children’s shelter. While there, I regularly cared for children while their mothers took time for themselves or attended to other responsibilities. This experience strengthened my ability to be patient, understanding, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. In addition to childcare, I am happy to help families with household tasks such as cleaning, laundry, and running errands. I am also very comfortable around animals! I have two dogs and a cat, and I have experience living with roommates who had a bearded dragon and a hedgehog. I love giving back to my community and would be grateful for the opportunity to support families and make a positive difference in their lives!
