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.

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.

She was early and very engaging. My two year-old daughter loved her. She even brought her own toys to play with my daughter who is active and full of energy. She was very professional and made it very comforting to leave my toddler in her care ,

I have over 30 years of experience with Children. I have ALWAYS had a Great rapport with children, a Bond. I allow children to express themselves which aid in their development, though boundaries are set, they grow to appreciate and respect that. I emphasize I provide childcare. Im NOT a Babysitter. There is a significant difference. I interact with children, whatever age. Im concerned about their well-being and their safety and emotional status. I provide Quality Care. I was childcare provider in an in-home Board Certified Childcare Facility for 5 years. I cared for children ages 6 weeks to 4 years. The parents all were enthused over my Quality of care. I am now a small Business Owner of Otey's Childcare Services where I provide Affordable Quality care for your precious little ones. I have been in Business a little over 10 years. I am a non-smoker and CPR Certified and First Aid Trained. I have a MOTTO: You will do MORE than OK with OTEY. My kids all call me Miss Yolanda. I am Dependable, Affordable, Reliable and Trustworthy. You wont be disappointed. I have an abundance of references. Don't Hesitate to Communicate. Allow me to fulfill your Childcare Needs. I look forward to hearing from you!

My son with special needs enjoyed interacting with Yolanda and she was sensitive to his needs. She spent 1.5 hours with him (it was a first visit) and they did different activities together. Yolanda was kind, thoughtful, and professional. I would recommend her based on my experience.

"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!"
