A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Katie Skaleski and I from the metro-Detroit area. I am currently 19 years old and a freshman attending Wayne State University. I have had a passion for babysitting ever since I was 13 years old - whether it was for neighbors, friends or family, taking care of children has always been incredibly meaningful to me growing up. I know that child care is a great responsibility; Apart from frequent babysitting, I have been a part of several programs that have ultimately helped me to become a better sitter. For example, during my high school years, I was Senior Patrol leader of my Scout Troop and was responsible for being a role model and instructor for the younger scouts in my troop. I have also worked as a counselor at summer camp for elementary school-aged children. Please don't hesitate to contact me with any additional questions. I am excited to provide care and assistance for your family!

A little bit about me

Hi, I’m Makyla! I truly love working with children of all ages and enjoy helping them learn and grow. Along with years of childcare experience, I also tutor, so homework help is always included.

I’m First Aid certified, recently graduated, and currently attending CarePro Health as I work toward becoming a phlebotomist. Safety and reliability are very important to me, and I’m happy to provide a calm, fun, and structured environment.

I’m also a big animal lover, so pets are never a problem—I’m just as comfortable with furry family members as I am with little ones.

A little bit about me

My name is Suzie I am a dedicated and passionate childcare provider with a unique blend of education and medical backgrounds. I began my career as an art teacher, where I developed a passion for fostering creativity in children.
