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!

Hi! My name is Gracie and I am a current college student at MSU. I offer childcare and household services with hands-on experience. I have experience in caring for toddlers and children through babysitting and helping care for family members. I have been involved in caring for and supporting my younger brother with Down syndrome, which has taught me to be patient, attentive, and understanding to each child's individual needs. I enjoy activities, spending time outdoors, doing crafts, and helping with homework. I am also comfortable with simple meals, cleaning after children, and household tasks.

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!
