Hi there! I’m glad to share details about my work with children, seniors, and pets. Here’s a summary: *I have worked as an ABA therapist, caring for three children, two of whom required autism therapy and support. * My schedule is quite flexible, especially on evenings and weekends. *I was as a teacher and counselor for a preschool, and I really enjoyed it! *I am glad to offer support and care for your family’s needs, including youth and adults that are Specially Abled. * I’m glad to provide tutoring and homework support, especially for younger children in elementary and middle school. * My major in college was Spanish language, so I’m glad to help with courses as well. I’m especially happy to help with essay writing and related projects. * I know that laundry piles up, so I’m glad to lend a hand with this and other household chores. * I was a caregiver for my grandmother and also for family members with young children. * I’m a dog mom for 20+ years, and glad to offer care for your four-legged friends as well, including walking, feeding, and special care that might be needed.

Jada $20 per hour for 1 child

I’m a 20-year-old caregiver with a genuine passion for helping and serving others. I graduated from North Atlanta High School and have one year of hands-on experience working in senior care, providing daily support, companionship, and assistance with routines. In addition, I’ve worked in a daycare setting where I care for young children, support their daily schedules, and help create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m naturally patient, compassionate, and dependable, and I take pride in building trust with families while providing attentive, loving care.

Veronica $25 per hour for 1 child

Hello, I am Veronica and newly moved to Atlanta with my husband and our two dogs. With a career dedicated to child development and a lifetime of caregiving, I offer a unique blend of professional expertise and fun, reliable care. I have been babysitting since 2008 and have spent over 10 years working professionally in pediatric and adult occupational therapy. Coming from a large family, I’ve always been the go to cousin for games during family parties with my younger cousins, and I bring that same patient, guiding energy to every family I work with. My professional background has also allowed me to assist seniors with household tasks and companionship, making me a versatile caregiver for all ages. When I’m not working, I’m usually on an adventure with my two dogs and husband. I am a huge animal lover and am more than happy to care for your pets and help with light household services. I look forward to supporting your family!

Maria $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello families! My name is María, I am 28 years old, and I am originally from Spain. I came to the United States in 2021 to work as an au pair, taking care of a 1.5-year-old child. Since then, I have continued working in childcare and have gained more than 3 years of experience caring for toddlers between 1 and 3 years old. I have a degree in Pedagogy and I specialize in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience working with children with special needs, especially children on the autism spectrum. I have also completed the 40-hour RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) training course and I am currently continuing with the certification process. I am a very motivated, energetic, and caring person. I love educating, teaching, and supporting little ones through their learning and developmental process. I am patient, responsible, and confident handling challenging situations, difficult behaviors, and tantrums using a calm and positive approach. I also have experience with cooking and healthy meal preparation. During my work as a Coach and DSP (Direct Support Professional), I received training related to nutrition and meal planning, which helped me develop strong skills in preparing healthy and balanced meals. At the moment, I am looking for occasional/day-by-day nanny jobs to help families who need extra support with childcare. I can also assist with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and keeping the home organized. If your family needs a caring, experienced, and reliable person to look after your little ones, or if you know someone who does, please feel free to send me a private message. I would love to help! Thank you!

Allyson $15 per hour for 1 child

I worked at Ashford Academy Daycare in Dunwoody over the summer of 2022. Also, I worked at First Baptist Church in Decatur as an after school counselor. I am First Aid and CPR Certified and am comfortable working with any age. I'd describe my personality as ambitious, empathetic, and genuine. I like working with kids because they are pure, creative, imaginative and inspiring. They remind us to be the best we can be, and I try to inspire the kids to be better. I'm looking for a job that involves clear communication and consistency. My skills include engaging, redirecting, adapting to the individual child's needs.

"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!"
