Booked by 2 families in Atlanta, GA

I’m an experienced behavioral health professional with several years of experience working with children and families, including children with autism and developmental needs. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Behavioral Health. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids. My professional background has given me experience supporting routines, managing challenging behaviors, communicating with families, and meeting each child where they are. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, activities, meals, light household tasks, and maintaining daily routines. After years in healthcare operations and leadership, I’m looking forward to getting back to more direct, meaningful work with children and families while completing my doctorate.

Mackenzie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Mackenzie and I’m a recent college graduate living in Atlanta. I’m offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. My responsibilities have included school pickups/drop-offs, homework help, creative play, bedtime routines, and keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged. I have experience supporting older adults and am comfortable with senior care tasks such as companionship, cooking, transportation to appointments, and general daily support. I’m also great with pets and happy to help with feeding, walking, and sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m reliable, warm, and patient — and I take pride in being someone families can trust and depend on.

"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!"
