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. She has helped my son with reading fluency, comprehension, and math skills. I highly recommend her for supplemental educational needs.”
I’ve babysat and had nanny jobs since being a teenager, I’ve always loved babies and kids! I worked at an afterschool program for a total of 5 years as well. I have three sons of my own and truly love every stage kids go through! I have always found it easy and natural to connect with kids of every age. I genuinely care about them and the experiences they are having and love becoming like an older sister/auntie figure in their life. I love being present with them! I find playing games, playing sports, being creative, or just hanging out can be such fun opportunities that bring real connection.
Hi, My name is Laura, and I am a mother of three daughters and a grandmother of five grandchildren. I have raised/cared for children for 35 years. I enjoyed being a Sunday school teacher for young toddlers for two years, as well as leading a preschool class for two years. I have also worked in the home care industry for several years, enjoying the companionship and rewards of working with the elderly. I am a young-at-heart 57 year old mom/nana, who will bring a nurturing environment to children, as well as to the elderly. I am currently looking for part-time work, possibly leading to full-time. Thank you in advance for your consideration

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.
