Hi my name is Patty I'm a tutor in the Birmingham/Bloomfield Hills MI area. I have a graduate degree from Michigan State University in Special Education with an endorsement from the state of Michigan in learning disabilities. I focus primarily with K-8 students in reading, writing, and math.

Patty had been tutoring my son for 3 years and we absolutely love her. She is a teacher in Birmingham schools where she specializes in working with children who have learning challenges.

$18 per hour for 1 child

Hi — my name is Rhyan and I have a background in biology, with a degree from North Carolina Central University. I’m currently working toward a career in healthcare, so I have a strong science background along with patience and attention to detail that comes from working with people and families. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, and school-age kids since I was a young teenager. I’m comfortable managing daily routines — feeding, naps, playtime, and keeping things calm and safe whether it’s one kid or a few.

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.

Booked by 1 family in Troy, 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.
