Find a last-minute babysitter in Okemos, MI

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!

I have been babysitting/ had experience with small children since I was 9 or 10- first with my little brother and cousins and later babysitting outside the home. I helped with Vacation Bible School and Sunday School for many years, as a leader. I now have nieces and nephews that I have babysat over the years too. Kids seem to like me fairly quickly- I honestly think it's the curly hair doing a lot of the work lol I love doing crafts or reading (voices and all) and my family loves to play games. As far as the fur babies- I grew up having cats, all my friends have cats, my mom used to foster for the Humane Society and I've got my own 2 handsome sons. I have also had experience living with a dog, as well as dogsitting and I am very comfortable around them. I like to keep my spaces pretty tidy and organized and clean my own home regularly. You can often find me gently bossing my friend around so she gets her chores and tasks done lol

Hi! My name is calla, I am 18 and currently working on my associates degree in biology through Lansing Community College. I love nature and I have a strong passion for child care and animal care. Most people would describe me as calm, respectful, and creative. I would much rather catch butterflies, play board games, and build snowmen with your kids than sit them in front of a T.V I have no problem enforcing rules such as bedtimes or chores, I only ask that you communicate these expectations with your children beforehand. Aside from my requested times I am willing to come in if there is an emergency, or an unexpected event. I have experience with children of all ages and I am comfortable with all pets (no allergies or fears!). I am willing to show vaccination records or any other records you need from me. I look forward to meeting you and your family! :)

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.

I'm an outgoing, energetic, friendly person who loves children! I'm an outdoors kind of girl, I love sports and playing outside as well as spending my time crafting, and reading. I'm happy to help with any household chores, errands, travel, cleaning and more! I've always worked with kids. I started working with an after school care program and loved it. From there I have worked with various family in my area with children ranging from 9 months to 12 years old, so I have a well rounded experience in child care. I am not only fun, but pride myself in being responsible and reliable, I'm able to provide a supervised, safe, and stable environment for your little ones!
