"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Hi, I’m Shylah! I’m a part-time student at Wayne community college with a passion for working with children. Over the past 7 years, I’ve babysat my nephews regularly since they were 10 months old. I’ve recently gained 1 year of professional experience in childcare with children ranging 4 months old to 3 years old. I prioritize creating a nurturing environment where kids feel safe, happy, and excited to learn and play.
“Shylah is very professional, loved playing with my son, cared for my two dogs, and cleaned up right before I got home. Can’t wait for her to come again!!”

Hi. My name is Kenzie and I will be attending Michigan State University in the Fall majoring in Biology. I am offering occasional babysitting for work and/or date nights. I love being a babysitter and have been watching infants, toddlers, and kids (including twins!) since I was 13 years old. My responsibilities have included driving to/from various activities, crafts, and helping with homework after school. I am currently babysit for a family with multiple children where one of my responsibilities is to drive one of the children to dance weekly, where I am also an Assistant Teacher.
