Hi there! I’m glad to share details about my work with children, seniors, and pets. Here’s a summary: *I have worked as an ABA therapist, caring for three children, two of whom required autism therapy and support. * My schedule is quite flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. *I was as a teacher and counselor for a preschool, and I really enjoyed it! *I am glad to offer support and care for your family’s needs, including youth and adults that are Specially Abled. * I’m glad to provide tutoring and homework support, especially for younger children in elementary and middle school. * My major in college was Spanish language, so I’m glad to help with courses as well. I’m especially happy to help with essay writing and related projects. * I know that laundry piles up, so I’m glad to lend a hand with this and other household chores. * I was a caregiver for my grandmother and also for family members with young children. * I’m a dog mom for 20+ years, and glad to offer care for your four-legged friends as well, including walking, feeding, and special care that might be needed.

I’m a 20-year-old caregiver with a genuine passion for helping and serving others. I graduated from North Atlanta High School and have one year of hands-on experience working in senior care, providing daily support, companionship, and assistance with routines. In addition, I’ve worked in a daycare setting where I care for young children, support their daily schedules, and help create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment.

Veronica $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Veronica and newly moved to Atlanta with my husband and our two dogs. With a career dedicated to child development and a lifetime of caregiving, I offer a unique blend of professional expertise and fun, reliable care. I have been babysitting since 2008 and have spent over 10 years working professionally in pediatric and adult occupational therapy. Coming from a large family, I’ve always been the go to cousin for games during family parties with my younger cousins, and I bring that same patient, guiding energy to every family I work with. My professional background has also allowed me to assist seniors with household tasks and companionship, making me a versatile caregiver for all ages. When I’m not working, I’m usually on an adventure with my two dogs and husband. I am a huge animal lover and am more than happy to care for your pets and help with light household services. I look forward to supporting your family!

Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is María, I am 28 years old, and I am originally from Spain. I came to the United States in 2021 to work as an au pair, taking care of a 1.5-year-old child. Since then, I have continued working in childcare and have gained more than 3 years of experience caring for toddlers between 1 and 3 years old. I have a degree in Pedagogy and I specialize in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience working with children with special needs, especially children on the autism spectrum. I have also completed the 40-hour RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) training course and I am currently continuing with the certification process. I am a very motivated, energetic, and caring person. I love educating, teaching, and supporting little ones through their learning and developmental process. I am patient, responsible, and confident handling challenging situations, difficult behaviors, and tantrums using a calm and positive approach. I also have experience with cooking and healthy meal preparation. During my work as a Coach and DSP (Direct Support Professional), I received training related to nutrition and meal planning, which helped me develop strong skills in preparing healthy and balanced meals. At the moment, I am looking for occasional/day-by-day nanny jobs to help families who need extra support with childcare. I can also assist with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and keeping the home organized. If your family needs a caring, experienced, and reliable person to look after your little ones, or if you know someone who does, please feel free to send me a private message. I would love to help! Thank you!

Allyson $15 per hour for 1 child

I worked at Ashford Academy Daycare in Dunwoody over the summer of 2022. Also, I worked at First Baptist Church in Decatur as an after school counselor. I am First Aid and CPR Certified and am comfortable working with any age. I'd describe my personality as ambitious, empathetic, and genuine. I like working with kids because they are pure, creative, imaginative and inspiring. They remind us to be the best we can be, and I try to inspire the kids to be better. I'm looking for a job that involves clear communication and consistency. My skills include engaging, redirecting, adapting to the individual child's needs.
