Booked by 5 families in Atlanta, GA

My name is Tia C. I am currently a nursing student with a strong foundation in patient-centered care and a genuine commitment to supporting children’s well-being and development. I am CPR/BLS certified and bring both clinical awareness and a calm, attentive presence into the home. I understand the importance of reliability, structure, and clear communication, especially within busy professional households. I am highly dependable, detail-oriented, and intuitive about each child’s needs, while also respecting the family's routines, expectations, and privacy. 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. I would love to be a trusted and consistent support for your family.

Tia has been great and is very helpful. She is very sweet, hard working, and very attentive to my little guy. I definitely plan to book with her again!

Star Atlanta
$14 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Star. I have extensive experience in childcare, having babysat my younger cousins from the time they were toddlers (ages 2, 4, and 5) until they reached middle school. My responsibilities included preparing snacks, changing diapers, and assisting with potty training. I also helped with their early education by reading stories and singing educational songs to teach them the alphabet, colors, and seasons in a fun and engaging way. In addition to caring for my cousins, I also babysat my younger sister, where I played an active role in her early development. I assisted with potty training, encouraged her learning through interactive activities, and provided a nurturing environment that supported her growth. Beyond direct childcare, I am open to handling household tasks such as laundry and cleaning, ensuring a well-maintained and organized space for children. Beyond babysitting, I also gained classroom experience as an assistant teacher at Brit Elementary, where I worked with young students in reading and math. In this role, I helped create a structured and supportive learning environment by managing classroom behavior, calming students, and promoting positive interactions. I focused on developing students’ interpersonal skills, social confidence, and self-esteem while encouraging a love for learning. My experience in both home and classroom settings has helped me develop strong communication, patience, and leadership skills. I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and educational atmosphere for children of all ages. Whether through teaching, caregiving, or maintaining a structured environment, I am dedicated to supporting children's development and well-being.
