Erica $25 per hour for 1 child

I have had the pleasure of providing childcare to some of the sweetest families for over 20 years! I have been trained in First Aid and CPR for adults and children. I am an educator, I have developed children's programs for my church and community, and have a passion for early child development and child care. During college and graduate school I enjoyed providing extra help to families in need - I became an evening and overnight Nanny for medical residents and physicians. I have experience caring for newborns, children of all ages, disabled children and senior citizens. I'm a new resident to Atlanta and currently work in Clinical Research during the day. My evenings are free, so I decided to extend help to families that need a safe and trustworthy evening Nanny.

"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!"
