Marjorie Atlanta
$15 per hour for 1 child

’ve been caring for children since I was 15, and it’s truly something I love. With a natural nurturing spirit, a calm and patient demeanor, and years of hands-on experience, I provide safe, fun, and structured care. I’ve worked with kids of all ages—from toddlers to teens—and I enjoy creating engaging, age-appropriate activities that help them learn and grow. Whether it’s homework help, imaginative play, or bedtime routines, I bring energy, dependability, and heart into everything I do. I’m also comfortable with pets—especially dogs! I have dogs of my own and understand how important it is to maintain routines, give attention, and handle them with care. Families appreciate my warm personality, clear communication, and genuine passion for caregiving.

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.
