Booked by 2 families in Buford, GA

Hi, I'm Diana! I am 22 years old. I know every family is different so I'm open to any kind of job, including infant to teen care, swim lessons, any housekeeping needs you have. I have been babysitting since I was 16 often responsible for preparing meals for my kids, keeping them entertained, doing homework with them, and taking them to after school activities however as far as my professional experience goes, I worked at my Church's daycare center since 2022 with children ranging from infancy to 6 years old. My main source of income currently comes from teaching swim lessons for students ages 2-18 and I also nannied for a family of two children ages 2 and 3 however I just recently moved and am looking for something a little more accessible. I have my CPR/AED certification as well as first aid certification that was issued in May of 2023. I'm outgoing and motivated and have always been great with kids, I would love to be a part of your family and help anyway I can.

“We had the absolute pleasure of having Diana as our nanny, and we couldn’t be happier with the experience! From the very beginning, she was incredibly engaging, taking the time to truly get to know our family and build a strong connection with our kids. Her warm and wonderful personality made her an instant favorite in our home. Diana is exceptionally interactive with children, always finding creative and fun ways to keep them engaged, learning, and entertained. She has a natural ability to connect with kids, making them feel comfortable and cared for at all times. What truly sets Diana apart is her unwavering willingness to support our family in any way she can. Whether it was helping with daily routines, offering extra support when needed, or simply being a dependable and positive presence, she went above and beyond every day. We highly recommend Diana to any family looking for a dedicated, caring, and truly exceptional nanny. She has made such a wonderful impact on our family, and we are so grateful for her time with us!”

Journi $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I’m Journi — your future favorite sitter! I started working at Today’s Kids of Suwanee when I was 18 and fresh out of high school, and I instantly fell in love with all the babies and tots I got to care for. I’ve worked in the baby room (6 months–1 year), crawlers (1 year), tots (1½–3), and with kiddos all the way up to 10 years old, so I’m comfortable jumping in wherever I’m needed. I may only be 20, but I’m super mature, responsible, and safety-minded. I’m a pharmacy technician during the day and a sitter by night — so your little ones are always in careful, attentive hands. Parents tell me I’m patient, playful, and easy to trust. And if you’ve got pets? Even better! I grew up with dogs and have my own little fur baby, Rico, so I’m great with animals too. I can’t wait to meet your family and help make your days a little easier. Feel free to message me anytime!

Hazel $19 per hour for 1 child

Hello my hardworking sweet moms/parents! 💖 Hi! My name is Hazel! I am currently looking for any moms/parents who are interested in needing help watching over their children! I am in the area of snellville, or any nearby! I am open to a (preferably) part time availability if needed, if any other options we can work with something. Babies, and toddlers are always getting along with me and I would love to help 💗 I grew up taking care of my newborn cousins and sibilings and till this day I still have an almost 2yr old sister that I take care of as well. I always enjoy being around them, I love kids and I can’t wait to have one for my own. I’m very open to keeping them distracted on educational activities, their eating schedules, and their sleep time schedule even if that includes naps throughout the day. I am a very flexible person and very truthworthy when it comes to anything and everything including those children who are brought to this world. 💗 Feel free to contact me if interested!

Lyndsey $20 per hour for 1 child

Trusting someone to babysit your kids can feel frightening! Picking the right sitter to watch your kids is very important. With many years experience, I am a great babysitter because I love to engage with kids and always keep them safe. My heart fills with joy when I’m around kids. At my previous part-time job, I worked with kids ages 3 mo. - 11 years old in the child center. I have most of my experience with ages 14 mo. - six years old. I have babysat as young as eight months to as old as twelve. I love to draw, play games, do puzzles, and all sorts of fun interactive activities to keep your kids entertained! I also have my certification in first aid, as well as CPR/AED. With a bachelors degree in psychology, and masters degree in teaching, I’m going into my 5th year of teaching. I currently teach 2nd grade, but I’ve also taught kindergarten, EIP, and have experience teaching ESOL. I can’t wait to get to know you and your family!

I’m a kind, creative, and patient caregiver who loves engaging children in fun, hands-on activities rather than screen time. I have experience caring for kids of various ages, including helping with homework, arts & crafts, outdoor play, and light meal prep. I’m reliable, energetic, and focused on creating a safe and positive environment for children to learn and grow.

"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!"
