Shannon Oxford
$25 per hour for 1 child

Hi My name is Shannon. I've been a caregiver for over 20 years. I've worked with many clients who suffer from Alzheimer's dementia, autism, cancer, surgical recovery, birth, postpartum & stroke. I have experience with medications, exercises, bathing, light housekeeping, errands and outings, medical care & meal prep. Some of the extra things that I have done with past clients are going to farmers market, painting, massaging their feet and legs with olive oil and lavender, exercises, & going to parks. I'd describe my personality as empathetic, nurturing, attentive, fun and friendly. I am a caregiver who goes the extra mile. I have been a long-term caregiver for many clients. I attended UofM and studied Human Biology, Nutrition, and pre-nursing. I have work experience as a midwife and in the surgery department also. Certifications include CPR/ First Aid, CNA, CPT, and CM. I like caring for others because I know I can provide the respect and dignity that people deserve. I like bringing joy to their lives. I would love a chance to meet you and discuss your particular needs. Thank you for your time. Enjoy your day! Shannon

Bloomfield Hills
$16 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Oakland, MI

I am wife and mother to 2 teenage sons. I am considered a seasoned caregiver and have cared for many children and a few seniors throughout the years. The highlights of my experience is that I am a great cook and I provide structure and cleanliness wherever I go. I have lots of patience and a motherly touch upon my services. I will be a great fit to any household that I’m needed in. My work ethic is impressive, and my goal is satisfaction in any environment I am adapted to.

Monique saved the day when our nanny was out sick. She was professional, timely and my 15 month old daughter warmed up to her so quickly. By the end of the day, she was giving Monique hugs and she had a ball playing with her. I would absolutely hire her again and plan to!

I love watching children and being a part of their lives. Helping families who need childcare help is very satisfying to me. I work with my families on having a care plan that works best.

Did a great job watching our 14 month old. Did good putting her down and getting her up in the morning.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
