Hi! My name is Jen, and I’m based in Atlanta. I offer child care, senior care, and household support. I’ve been caring for children of all ages — from newborns to teens — for several years, and I love creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them. My background in film and event production has made me highly organized, patient, and adaptable, even in busy households. I can help with everything from school pickups and homework to meal prep, errands, and light cleaning. I’ve also cared for seniors, providing companionship, transportation to appointments, and help around the house. I truly enjoy being a dependable, caring presence for families who need an extra set of hands.

Jen was great with my 9 month old! I was so grateful to have her help. And my 2 year old loved her

Booked by 4 families in Decatur, GA

Hello! I am a Physician Assistant student looking for babysitting opportunities. I have raised both my younger siblings, so I have lots of experience working with kids. I have also gotten additional experience working with kids when I used to work as a nurse. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I was babysitting two kids for 3 years. I am also CPR certified in case of any emergencies. I know how important it is to be patient and warm with kids and would take care of your kids like my own sibling. I look forward to helping out with your kids!

Mahek was great! She was very responsible and wonderful with my son. She was prompt and responsive. I definitely ask her to babysit again.

Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I'm Kayla Spain, 25 years old. I have recently graduated from Alabama State University, majoring in Biology Pre-health. I have been caring for children since I became an older sister to my younger brother. I became a babysitter on a regular basis and also was there for my younger cousins as well. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers. I've worked for a daycare at the age of 14- 18 where I prepared meals, developed lesson plans, and also maintained a safe and clean environment. I honestly love working with young kids and I make sure it's my mission to make sure they are keeping a smile on their face.

I've worked with Kayla a few times now, and she has been wonderful each time. She is very reliable and so patient with my little guy. Always punctual and quick to respond, which I really appreciate. I'd gladly work with her again!
