Adalyn $20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m a reliable, caring, and patient caregiver who truly enjoys supporting families. I have hands-on experience caring for children of different ages, gained through my personal background. I grew up in foster care and spent much of my life helping care for my younger siblings, which taught me responsibility, patience, and how to create a safe, nurturing environment. I’m comfortable assisting with homework, preparing simple meals, and engaging kids in fun, age-appropriate activities. I also have experience caring for pets, including feeding, walking, and playtime, as well as helping with light household tasks such as cleaning, organizing, laundry, and errands. I’m dependable, punctual, and take pride in being someone families can trust.

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!

Eliza $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there, my name is Eliza, and I am a current MSU student studying Speech Pathology. I have babysat and nannied since I was in 6th grade, for children aged 3 months to 13 years old. I love being around kids, and have even taught swim lessons to groups 5 kids aged 2-10 for 3 years. I am very comfortable cooking, changing diapers, managing multiple children at once, and love to get outside and do crafts with kids. I am pretty busy right now between school and work but would love to babysit occasionally nights or days here and there! I am very comfortable with animals as well as I have a dog and cat at home.

Talia $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my names Talia and I am a senior at MSU studying human development and family studies. I’ve always enjoyed caring for others and have built strong experience working with both children and seniors. I nannied for one child from infancy to age three, helping with daily routines, development, and creating a nurturing environment. I’ve also had many babysitting jobs with kids of all ages, so I’m comfortable adapting to different personalities and needs. I helped care for my grandfather with dementia, which taught me patience, empathy, and how to stay calm in challenging situations. I was also a swim instructor for children under four, where I focused on safety while making learning fun and engaging. Along with my hands-on experience, I’ve taken classes in childhood development and parenting, which help me better understand children’s needs. I’m reliable, caring, and I love working with kids!
