"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."

Ashley 1 review
$17 per hour for 1 child
$17 per hour for 1 child
I am currently a junior at Michigan State University studying psychology with a minor in human behavior and social services. I have had numerous jobs working with kids including being an elementary school kids club assistant, lifeguard, babysitter, and research assistant for a research project that teaches healthy eating and physical activity to middle schoolers. I’m honest, dependable, hard-working, and I love kids.
“Ashley is an exceptional individual with a warm and personable nature, making her an outstanding choice for those in search of a reliable babysitter. Her invaluable advice, unwavering support, and extensive background in child care set her apart from the rest. Ashley's ability to brighten kids' days is truly commendable. I wholeheartedly endorse Ashley as a babysitter—she's a stellar choice, earning a 100/10 recommendation!”
Amara $15 per hour for 1 child
Hey you :) My name is Amara and I have recently moved back to the US after working abroad for 2 years. Professionally, I am a Mechanical Engineer, but as I am considering a life/career change, I am temporarily looking for part time work. I am an aunt to 4 boys and 2 grand nephews, a cat mom and have had a lot of experience over the years caring for children and different pets (cats, dogs, hamsters, even a bearded dragon!). I have cared for children within my family as well as for non family members. (infants, toddlers, young children, 10+) I am a great home cook (one of my passions is food/cooking). I also have about 5 years of experience with math tutoring and general educational guidance/coaching (mostly for grades 6 through college, but willing to tutor lower grades as well.) I am very creative and love crafting as well (art, sewing, crochet, etc) I am a big DIYer I would love to connect and discuss how I can help you or your family!
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!
