Brooke $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a warm, dependable caregiver with hands-on babysitting experience and a genuine love for working with children. I bring a fun, creative energy to every sit — whether that’s crafting, imaginative play, or just making sure the kids are laughing and well looked after. Beyond childcare, I’m comfortable handling light household tasks to keep things running smoothly while parents are away, and I’m great with pets too. I take my responsibilities seriously — punctuality, communication, and leaving things better than I found them are things I pride myself on. Families can count on me to be fully present, engaged, and trustworthy. Your kids are in great hands.

sophia $14 per hour for 1 child

Hey! I’m a 20 year old creative writing student at GSU. I have a younger sister (8 years younger) who taught me a lot about childcare, fun, and selflessness. I’ve babysat for my neighbors in the past and would like to also tutor. I’m vaccinated with Pfizer! In addition to babysitting and tutoring, I can house sit, help out with chores, cook, etc. Just ask me. I love reading, drawing, painting, anything creative. I also speak French fluently and can definitely help with homework. I’m a bit of a nerd at heart. I don’t currently have a car, though I do have a license.

$20 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 13 families in Atlanta, GA

Hi! My name is Keila! I am offering part-time care for children as well as tutoring services. I am Educated, Fun, and Totally Love Children! This has been my field of expertise for over 10 years! It's who I am! Children are my vibe! They keep me youthful! I have been working with children in private and public, and church settings my entire life! I have experience with children of all ages including infants.

“We had such a great experience Keila! She was wonderful with both our 2.5-year-old and our 6-month-old, and they both really enjoyed spending time with her. She came prepared with fun, age-appropriate activities to keep them engaged, which we really appreciated. She also went above and beyond by gifting our 2.5-year-old a book and workbook, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We especially appreciated that she regularly sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind and helped us feel comfortable knowing how the kids were doing while we were away. She was caring, thoughtful, proactive, and clearly enjoys working with children. We would definitely recommend her to other families!”

"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!"
