Hi! I’m Ruby! I work in finance full-time, but babysitting is something I genuinely enjoy. I’ve always loved being around children and have experience with babies, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I’m patient, reliable, and naturally caring, and I love getting to know each child’s personality and making them feel comfortable and happy!
Hey there! I’m Tatiana. I’m creative, energetic, and caring! I love spending time with kids, doing crafts, reading stories, and playing outside. I believe in keeping kids active, happy, and safe while making sure parents have total peace of mind.
Hi! My name is Shaina and I am a student at Georgia State University. I am offering child care services. I have been a science camp counselor three times and a youth football camp counselor twice. I used to work at the Creme de la Creme early learning center in Sandy Springs and absolutely loved working with the children there and learning about each child. I have taken care of children ages ranging from infants to middle school and looked after groups of 7-18 children at a time alone. I have taken 10 hours of Georgia Health and Safety training and was given my Professional Development certification. I am also happy to work with families that have pets!
Hi! My name is Madyson. I'm a current junior at Spelman College. I am offering childcare and petcare. I've worked with children ages 1 - 9 in a professional and familial capacity since I was 16 years old. My responsibilities included maintaining safety, facilitating activities, and preparing healthy meals. I also have experience taking care of dogs and cats (I currently live with a cat.) I've had 2 yorkies throughout my life.

"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."
