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.
Mother of two girls - ages 14 and 17. Work FT in corporate training and development. Nannied and babysat my teen years through college. Available for occasional babysitting, pet care or garden care.
“Ali is LOVELY. She watched my two kids, ages, 5 and 7, for multiple days during summer break. They were immediately comfortable and absolutely loved her. She found lots of fun ways to keep them busy. She a total lifesaver. 10/10 recommend”
Hi, my name is Cailin. I hold a bachelor’s in Human Services with minors in education & psychology. I also have my masters in higher education. My experience working with kids includes 3+ years at the YMCA as a swim instructor, 6 months at the YMCA early learning center, and 1 year of experience as a paraprofessional. I am reliable, energetic, and passionate about providing a safe and supportive environment for kids to thrive. I can cook simple meals, help with homework, and provide structured play.
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.
My name is Christinei. I am a professional educator over 41 years now and have been a nanny for about 22 of those. This was the best decision I made ever. I like the one on one care it provides for the child(ren) and the whole family, including pets. Each child is an individual and needs to be heard and learns differently and this as an educator is where I learn from them. My expertise is in newborn/infant/toddler care but I also love to prepare your child for preschool and readiness for group learning environments. I teach through all experiences and will help the new parent “see” each developmental level their child has experienced and help achieve the next level with proper fun experiences - yes a three month old can “read” a favorite book! I look forward to becoming part of your child’s team - that includes the love of the family pet!
“Christine first joined our network about 8 years ago as we became new parents. We needed help a few days a week as I (mama) worked from home. She very much followed my lead, allowed me to have my time with my newborn sitting back and chatting and sharing little tidbits that became so helpful when navigating new parenthood - but when I needed to step away and dive into work-focus, she was able to keep space and handle whatever was happening. Her specialized education in language development quickly became apparent. She would have the most delightful conversations with our infant, and then focus in on age appropriate sounds for language development. They were soon chatting for hours while working with playdoh and doing art. It was a joy to see. When I had to work out of the house, I always came home to a journal review of food, activities, new language development, and all the things a new parent wants to be up to speed on. She bubbled up with us during the pandemic while I was pregnant with our second baby, she was with us full time - allowing us bonding time with our new baby and keeping our toddler engaged and with a routine that could be as consistent as possible during uncertain times. She also brought our lovable dog and cat into her “classroom routines”. She is what we call our “Forever Nanny” - we still consistently use her for date nights, weekends away — and we’ve even gone out of the country for 5 days and left our most loved beings (kids and pets) in the care of Christine. She also takes our fur-babies for us if needed, and she shows up for all the dance recitals and birthday parties. Christine makes learning fun for the kiddos and knows how to set boundaries. She is open to shifting style, depending on family philosophy, but she is also confident enough to offer a different perspective if appropriate. She sets a daily routine consisting of all the normal things (eating, diapering/bathroom) + art (she’s a wonderful and fun artist - it’s one of our kids’ favorite things to do with her), reading, writing, math, gross motor skills, neighborhood adventures, music (I’m probably forgetting others) - but it’s fun and balanced! Christine is a gem.”
