Booked by 4 families in Scottdale, GA

Hello! I am a Physician Assistant student looking for babysitting opportunities. I have raised both my younger siblings, so I have lots of experience working with kids. I have also gotten additional experience working with kids when I used to work as a nurse. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I was babysitting two kids for 3 years. I am also CPR certified in case of any emergencies. I know how important it is to be patient and warm with kids and would take care of your kids like my own sibling. I look forward to helping out with your kids!

“Mahek was great! She was very responsible and wonderful with my son. She was prompt and responsive. I definitely ask her to babysit again.”

Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I'm Kayla Spain, 25 years old. I have recently graduated from Alabama State University, majoring in Biology Pre-health. I have been caring for children since I became an older sister to my younger brother. I became a babysitter on a regular basis and also was there for my younger cousins as well. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers. I've worked for a daycare at the age of 14- 18 where I prepared meals, developed lesson plans, and also maintained a safe and clean environment. I honestly love working with young kids and I make sure it's my mission to make sure they are keeping a smile on their face.

“I've worked with Kayla a few times now, and she has been wonderful each time. She is very reliable and so patient with my little guy. Always punctual and quick to respond, which I really appreciate. I'd gladly work with her again!”

I am CPR/BLS certified and bring both clinical awareness and a calm, attentive presence into the home.

My goal is to provide a safe, organized, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported, allowing parents to feel confident and at ease.

Booked by 4 families in Scottdale, GA

Hello to all the beautiful families out there! My name is Farrah, and I am a current Doctor of Chiropractic student who has always loved caregiving. Since the age of 13, I partook in caregiving services for children ages three mos -16 years of age and seniors under my unofficial company name, FairBear Cares Babysitting Services. Fun fact, the name FairBear came from the babies I used to teach dance to for about 4-5 years while in high school. They were too young to enunciate my name, so they called me "Miss Faywuh or Miss Fare." In Whitney Houston's song, The Greatest Love of All, she said, "I believe the children are our future," and that gives a glimpse of why caregiving is so special to me. The joy and authenticity of kids is so refreshing and honestly an inspiration to me. I also live to serve, so giving back in any capacity is my true heartthrob. With that being said, I have experience in the healthcare field from working in Long-term acute care facilities and memory care senior homes, enabling me to sharpen skills such as empathy, patience, and being more nurturing to the patients and their families. I absolutely LOVE transforming a caregiving experience, so it is immersive, engaging, and peaceful for those being looked after. I am grateful for you considering me for the opportunity to love on your Loved ones. I wish you a remarkable rest of your day. Light and Love! ~Farrah
