Hi – My name is Mackenzie and I’m a recent college graduate living in Atlanta. I’m offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. My responsibilities have included school pickups/drop-offs, homework help, creative play, bedtime routines, and keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged. I have experience supporting older adults and am comfortable with senior care tasks such as companionship, cooking, transportation to appointments, and general daily support. I’m also great with pets and happy to help with feeding, walking, and sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m reliable, warm, and patient — and I take pride in being someone families can trust and depend on.
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!
Hello, I am 23 yrs old and I am a Gymnastics Instructor looking to support families. I have been in the Childcare industry since I was 17 and would love to potential to grow with a family. I have a positive and creative energy that engages any age group I come across and look forward to making honest and real connections.
Hello, my name is Taleia. I have three years of experience as a teacher assistant, working with children ranging from 12 months to 12 years old. My background includes both Montessori and traditional classroom settings, and I currently serve as a toddler Montessori assistant teacher. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and am CPR certified, which allows me to provide both safe and enriching care. In addition to childcare, I have one year of experience pet sitting cats and dogs of various sizes and breeds, ensuring their needs are met with patience and attentiveness. My strengths include being nurturing, reliable, and highly organized, which helps me create a supportive and structured environment for those in my care. Beyond work, I enjoy exploring local vintage and thrift stores, which reflects my creative and resourceful personality. I bring compassion, adaptability, and a strong sense of responsibility to every caregiving role, whether with children, pets, or household support.
I have experience working with dogs, cats, horses, mini horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and peacocks. Most regularly, I help pet owners by dropping in once or twice per day to feed animals and take on walks. I am sometimes available for overnight jobs, but is dependent on dates and locations.
“An ideal pet and house sitter! James is punctual and flexible with his hours. Highly motivated, kind, attentive, and a nice guy to ask for film recommendations. Does not have any childcare experience, to my knowledge, but has had dogs, cats, and has even worked on a farm, and can handle larger animals if needed.”
