"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."

Lillian $18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Lakeville, MI
Hello! My name is Lilly and I am currently a pre-nursing student. I am very passionate about working in the medical field and hope to work in pediatric nursing in the future, and I also enjoy working out and going to concerts in my free time. I have been babysitting for about 5 years now and was a part-time summer nanny for a family starting when the children were 5 and 8 to when they were 9 and 12. I have babysat ages ranging from 1-14 all together. I currently am BLS certified, which includes first aid, CPR, and emergency oxygen and have passed a babysitting course. I like to keep things organized, so working within a families schedule is very easy for me to keep consistent when I learn it. Babysitting has been one of my favorite jobs and I hope to continue this while I'm in school! I am also comfortable cooking and doing light housework, and any activities I do while babysitting I make sure are cleaned up completely before I leave.
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.
