Hi there! I’m glad to share details about my work with children, seniors, and pets. Here’s a summary: *I have worked as an ABA therapist, caring for three children, two of whom required autism therapy and support. * My schedule is quite flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. *I was as a teacher and counselor for a preschool, and I really enjoyed it! *I am glad to offer support and care for your family’s needs, including youth and adults that are Specially Abled. * I’m glad to provide tutoring and homework support, especially for younger children in elementary and middle school. * My major in college was Spanish language, so I’m glad to help with courses as well. I’m especially happy to help with essay writing and related projects. * I know that laundry piles up, so I’m glad to lend a hand with this and other household chores. * I was a caregiver for my grandmother and also for family members with young children. * I’m a dog mom for 20+ years, and glad to offer care for your four-legged friends as well, including walking, feeding, and special care that might be needed.

Kaelah $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Kaelah, I'm 24 years old and I love caring for children! I have a great passion for being a safe and trusted person in the lives of little ones. I'm also very compassionate and patient. I have extensive experience both in casual babysitting and professional childcare, including special needs care. Child development and psychology has been a very important interest of mine, one which I even research and expand my knowledge on for fun in my free time, since high school. My experience with children ranges in ages from infancy to Middle School, with birth-age 5 being my most experienced area of my educational & professional history. I also have 1 year of experience as a caretaker of teenagers with severe mental health & behavioral disorders in a group home setting. Social Emotional Development is just as important to me as academic development, and I believe that teaching children how to regulate their emotions and behave empathetically towards others alongside the common core subjects like math and reading will help them for any path they take in life. I have a diploma from a 2 year vocational school where I attended the early childhood education program and graduated from that program with a 3.4 GPA. I have CPR/First Aid/AED certification for all ages, and I have Continuing Education Credits such as: -certification in trauma informed care -certified Epi-Pen administration -completed 10hr Health & Safety Course for Georgia childcare providers -certifications in social emotional, cognitive and physical development from birth-age 5 Comfort, communication, transparency, safety, and all family members in the home (parents included) feeling cared for & having their needs relating to childcare met are my top priorities. As a mother myself, it is my goal to give the children I work with, and their parents, peace of mind in their childcare arrangements. *about my rates* they can be negotiated if your family cannot securely afford $18/hr for 1 child or $21/hr for two children. As much as possible while still ensuring that I can provide for what my family needs, I am a firm believer that finances should not be a heavy barrier to receiving safe, trustworthy and compassionate childcare.

Veronica $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Veronica and newly moved to Atlanta with my husband and our two dogs. With a career dedicated to child development and a lifetime of caregiving, I offer a unique blend of professional expertise and fun, reliable care. I have been babysitting since 2008 and have spent over 10 years working professionally in pediatric and adult occupational therapy. Coming from a large family, I’ve always been the go to cousin for games during family parties with my younger cousins, and I bring that same patient, guiding energy to every family I work with. My professional background has also allowed me to assist seniors with household tasks and companionship, making me a versatile caregiver for all ages. When I’m not working, I’m usually on an adventure with my two dogs and husband. I am a huge animal lover and am more than happy to care for your pets and help with light household services. I look forward to supporting your family!

"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!"
