Shaina Brookhaven
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shaina and I am a student at Georgia State University. I am offering child care services. I have been a science camp counselor three times and a youth football camp counselor twice. I used to work at the Creme de la Creme early learning center in Sandy Springs and absolutely loved working with the children there and learning about each child. I have taken care of children ages ranging from infants to middle school and looked after groups of 7-18 children at a time alone. I have taken 10 hours of Georgia Health and Safety training and was given my Professional Development certification. I am also happy to work with families that have pets!

Hello! Im Jessica from Forest Park, GA. I am the oldest of three children, and an aunt to five niblings. I am offering my childcare, pet care, and senior companionship services. As an auntie, I love to spoil my niblings with love and care, and i hope to spoil your children with the same love and care. I can change diapers, help potty train, make meals, play, tidy, do bedtime and wake ups. I have my own vehicle (a 2025 Kia Soul) and would be more then happy to also do pick ups and drop offs. I am a fur mama! I have 3 dogs, 2 cats, and a rabbit! I also have experience in reptiles, snakes, and small rodents. I can play, take walks, clean crates/kennels, and pet sit. Over the last 2 years Ive been a full time caregiver for my father. I helped him bathe, manage medications, go shopping, and transport to and from doctors appointments. I am looking forward to meeting you and your family.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"

"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
