Deborah $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, my name is Deborah and I am a recent graduate of the University of Michigan, where I obtained my degree in Biomedical Engineering. I currently work as a Biotech Engineer, and will begin my Master's degree in Fall 2026. I have received my Basic First Aid Training and completed the Red Cross CPR certification course. I love showing my love to others through cooking meals and love to read in my free time. In caring for your child, I love to engage them through reading, educational games, puzzles and a lot of time outside. In past roles I've been responsible for meal prep, light housekeeping, school pickup/drop off and overnight care.

Tori $21 per hour for 1 child

I’ve worked as a pre-k teacher for the past 4 1/2 years, frequently babysit and used to have 2 nannying jobs. I’m pretty decent with special needs kids and have worked with them before. I have been CORI checked, have no criminal background and am CPR, First aid and teacher certified. I’m playful and creative with children and encourage learning, boundaries, playing pretend, creativeness, and just fun all around! I am experienced, ambitious, organized, a good listener, / great rule/boundary follower, and kind, respectful, accommodating, outgoing and energetic. I’ve mainly only watched children but have also watched pets before. I have no experience watching seniors but am willing to learn and do it. I’ve also never house-sat but am again, willing to and am very responsible and great at cleaning and taking care of things and keeping it in check. I have a background with psychology and social work from college so I’m very good at reading children’s heads and understanding their personalities. I am also very protective of them because of my schooling in social work so I know how to watch and take care of them. I am currently going to college for nursing and am doing multiple interviews for more teaching positions at other schools because I recently got laid off because there was too many staff members.
