Terra $23 per hour for 1 child
I am a full-time registered nurse, looking for extra work in the evenings during weekdays with a little more flexibility on weekends. I have a strong background in caring for children and elderly. I am an extremely kind and compassionate caregiver who takes pride in the successful outcome of my patients. I am a mother of four adult children and also have many years in pediatric care, as well. I am looking to find a family who has strong values in the care of their loved ones and is looking for compassionate and thorough care that meets the needs of the families I work for. As a nurse, I am experienced in all age groups and have worked in a variety of nursing settings. I also am a very strong animal lover, who believe that pets our family and would care for years as if they were my own. Please reach out if you are interested in learning more about me.

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!”

Hi my name is Moideen! I’m a recent university graduate of the University of California, Berkeley. On the theoretical side, I studied the sociology and psychology of family dynamics and early childhood development. On the practical side, I have much experience sitting for the kids of my friends and friends of my parents and years of experience babysitting dozens of my cousins! I offer care for children, seniors, and pets and can also manage household tasks like cooking, and cleaning as well as other miscellaneous tasks!

Booked by 1 family in Allen Park, MI
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.”
