Hi, my name is Mia and I am 23 years old! I recently graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a double minor in Psychology and Microbiology. I am now located in Atlanta to pursue my Master's degree at Emory University!

I am CPR/BLS certified, have reliable transportation, and have many years of experience working with children, young adults, and seniors with physical and developmental disabilities. I love baking, doing crafts, playing games, and fostering a safe space for learning, creativity, and growth. In my personal time I love to go on scenic hikes, volunteer, read, use my sewing machine, and travel with my friends! I look forward to meeting you, and please contact me if you have any questions!

My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Hemann and I recently graduated from Emory University School of Law. I have been working with kids for about 14 years now. I have had the most experience with children between 2 and 8 years old, but I love working with kids of all ages. If the weather is nice, I like to take the kids outside (walks, park, etc.). If not, art projects and reading books are my go-to. I am currently living in Cleveland, OH.
