Booked by 1 family in Mcdonough, GA

Hi my name is LaDonna Russell, most people just call me Donna. I am a 31 year old woman who loves working with kids. I have had experience with all ages and have most recently been working with a few families with children from birth-4 years old. I am CPR certified (BLS renewal date 04/19/2026). I love reading and helping little ones learn about the world around them. I am willing to help out with little chores like tidying and laundry. I am comfortable working with breast milk and formula. I know each family does things differently and I look forward to learning what works best with each family individually.

“LaDonna has been an absolute blessing caring for my son Xander. She approaches him with so much patience, warmth, and genuine care — she takes the time to understand his needs and always makes him feel safe and supported. I’ve noticed real trust build between them, and that means everything to me as his mom. LaDonna is reliable, attentive, and treats Xander like family. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver, and I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone truly dedicated to their child’s wellbeing.”

I’m an experienced behavioral health professional with several years of experience working with children and families, including children with autism and developmental needs. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Behavioral Health. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids. My professional background has given me experience supporting routines, managing challenging behaviors, communicating with families, and meeting each child where they are. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, activities, meals, light household tasks, and maintaining daily routines. After years in healthcare operations and leadership, I’m looking forward to getting back to more direct, meaningful work with children and families while completing my doctorate.

I'd describe my personality as fun, attentive, and caring. I like working with kids because I grew up in a pretty large family and love being a part of the development and growth of children! I love seeing the moment a new skill or trait clicks for them, and I love helping them turn into the people they were created to be! I started working with kids in middle school through babysitting and working in the church nursery and kids classes. I currently serve as the deacon of kids ministry at my church and regularly serve in child care on Sunday mornings. I worked as a full time nanny for a few months after graduating college. I've been babysitting and nannying off and on since then, and most recently worked as an afterschool program coordinator with elementary and middle school students. I have experience with all ages, but especially love to care for toddlers and young elementary. In my spare time, I like to read lots of fun books, watch movies, and go for walks! I also love music and love to attend concerts in the Atlanta area!
