Maria Decatur
$20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is María, I am 28 years old, and I am originally from Spain. I came to the United States in 2021 to work as an au pair, taking care of a 1.5-year-old child. Since then, I have continued working in childcare and have gained more than 3 years of experience caring for toddlers between 1 and 3 years old. I have a degree in Pedagogy and I specialize in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience working with children with special needs, especially children on the autism spectrum. I have also completed the 40-hour RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) training course and I am currently continuing with the certification process. I am a very motivated, energetic, and caring person. I love educating, teaching, and supporting little ones through their learning and developmental process. I am patient, responsible, and confident handling challenging situations, difficult behaviors, and tantrums using a calm and positive approach. I also have experience with cooking and healthy meal preparation. During my work as a Coach and DSP (Direct Support Professional), I received training related to nutrition and meal planning, which helped me develop strong skills in preparing healthy and balanced meals. At the moment, I am looking for occasional/day-by-day nanny jobs to help families who need extra support with childcare. I can also assist with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and keeping the home organized. If your family needs a caring, experienced, and reliable person to look after your little ones, or if you know someone who does, please feel free to send me a private message. I would love to help! Thank you!

Erica Atlanta
$25 per hour for 1 child

I have had the pleasure of providing childcare to some of the sweetest families for over 20 years! I have been trained in First Aid and CPR for adults and children. I am an educator, I have developed children's programs for my church and community, and have a passion for early child development and child care. During college and graduate school I enjoyed providing extra help to families in need - I became an evening and overnight Nanny for medical residents and physicians. I have experience caring for newborns, children of all ages, disabled children and senior citizens. I'm a new resident to Atlanta and currently work in Clinical Research during the day. My evenings are free, so I decided to extend help to families that need a safe and trustworthy evening Nanny.

Booked by 1 family in Atlanta, GA

Hi, my name is Nicole. I graduated from Colorado State University–Fort Collins with a degree in Human Development and Family Studies. I originally began as an Early Childhood Education major, which gave me a strong foundation in child development before transitioning to a broader field of study. I began babysitting professionally in 2015 for local families in Denver and have cared for children ranging from 3 weeks to 13 years old. My experience extends beyond private babysitting into structured programs as well. I worked in daycares and with the Boys and Girls Club of Metro Denver, where I served as the Education Specialist during the school year. In that role, I ran the organization’s reading and comprehension program and even introduced enrichment activities of my own, such as drama club. In recent years, I stepped into a full-time role as a Business Analyst for stability. While that role has been rewarding in its own way, I found myself missing the fulfillment that comes from working directly with children. That is why I am now returning to babysitting on a part-time, occasional basis.

Laura Atlanta
$20 per hour for 1 child

I’m 25 years old and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages. I worked as a camp counselor for five months, where I spent every day organizing activities and supervising large groups of kids. I also helped raise my younger brother since birth, and often babysat for neighbors’ children. Growing up with both younger and older siblings gave me a strong sense of responsibility and a lot of hands-on experience. Beyond childcare, I’ve also helped care for my grandmother, who has Alzheimer’s, so I understand the importance of patience and compassion when supporting elderly family members. I consider myself a very positive, talkative, and approachable person who connects well with both kids and adults. I absolutely love animals — I have both a cat and a dog of my own, so I’m very comfortable around pets and happy to include them in my care. Whether it’s children, seniors, or pets, families can count on me to be trustworthy, reliable, and genuinely caring.
