Booked by 13 families in Riverdale, GA

Hi! My name is Keila! I am offering part-time care for children as well as tutoring services. I am Educated, Fun, and Totally Love Children! This has been my field of expertise for over 10 years! It's who I am! Children are my vibe! They keep me youthful! I have been working with children in private and public, and church settings my entire life! I have experience with children of all ages including infants.

“We had such a great experience Keila! She was wonderful with both our 2.5-year-old and our 6-month-old, and they both really enjoyed spending time with her. She came prepared with fun, age-appropriate activities to keep them engaged, which we really appreciated. She also went above and beyond by gifting our 2.5-year-old a book and workbook, which was such a thoughtful gesture. We especially appreciated that she regularly sent us updates and pictures throughout the day. It gave us peace of mind and helped us feel comfortable knowing how the kids were doing while we were away. She was caring, thoughtful, proactive, and clearly enjoys working with children. We would definitely recommend her to other families!”

Booked by 1 family in Riverdale, GA

Hi my name is LaDonna Russell, most people just call me Donna. I am a 31 year old woman who loves working with kids. I have had experience with all ages and have most recently been working with a few families with children from birth-4 years old. I am CPR certified (BLS renewal date 04/19/2026). I love reading and helping little ones learn about the world around them. I am willing to help out with little chores like tidying and laundry. I am comfortable working with breast milk and formula. I know each family does things differently and I look forward to learning what works best with each family individually.

“LaDonna has been an absolute blessing caring for my son Xander. She approaches him with so much patience, warmth, and genuine care — she takes the time to understand his needs and always makes him feel safe and supported. I’ve noticed real trust build between them, and that means everything to me as his mom. LaDonna is reliable, attentive, and treats Xander like family. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver, and I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone truly dedicated to their child’s wellbeing.”

Danesha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Danesha. I currently work with young children in both an elementary school setting with kindergartners and at a daycare. I truly enjoy being a part of children’s early development, helping them learn, grow, and build confidence during such important stages of their lives. Working with kids requires patience, creativity, and compassion, and I take pride in showing up with those qualities every day. Outside of work, I am a dedicated mother to three beautiful children who mean everything to me. Being their mom is my greatest joy and motivation. I strive to create a loving, supportive environment for them while also balancing my responsibilities at work. My experiences as both a parent and an educator allow me to connect deeply with children and families, understanding their needs from multiple perspectives.

"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!"
