My name is Lauryn, and I am a recent graduate from Howard University. I am currently studying Biomedical Research at Morehouse School of Medicine. I am CPR/AED certified, COVID vaccinated and I willing and able to provide references from families I have previously worked with. I have my own car and I am willing to travel up to 25 miles from my location. Hope to hear from you soon!
I am 30 years old. I was born in the Philippines but grew up in Florida. I moved to Atlanta October of 2021. I enjoy walks in the park, reading, watching movies, and learning new things. I enjoy real estate and new languages fascinate me. I love mathematics and have a degree in Accounting. I come from a family of 6 children and so my experience with babies is superb.
My name is Claudine, I have a bachelor’s degree in public health, speak two languages, including English, I have been a caregiver for infants, toddlers, and school aged children for 10+ year (since I was 15 years old) often creating activities for the children, taking them to the park, making their breakfast and dinner, reading to them at night, and more. I am a compassionate caregiver who prioritizes my child safety and social and emotional well-being. I have experience working with children and seniors. I help with medication management, medication refills, and can cook, clean, and run errands! I am allergic to cats, but can take allergy medications. I am not comfortable around dogs, but can manage once I get to know the dog.
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.

"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!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
Theresa M., parent
