Allyson $22 per hour for 1 child

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. Looking forward to hearing from you soon!

Sheila $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello there! My name is Sheila. I’m a middle-aged spinster auntie getting back into the babysitting game. I work a part-time remote job with very flexible hours and I’m looking for some equally flexible income on the side. Because of this, I’m not looking for part-time or full-time positions. But if you’ve got a date night, a day event, or a sick kid and need coverage, I’m your gal! I’m mature enough to handle difficult situations but silly enough to get down on the floor and play right alongside your kids. I’m an experienced storyteller, and I can whip up an interactive bedtime story on the spot. I have a shiny, red, reliable car to get me to your place and back and for school pick-ups as needed. Let me know what your needs are and let’s see how we can work together. :)

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!

Amirah $22 per hour for 1 child

Hi , my name is Amirah & I work in healthcare full time and babysit part time. My love & passion for taking care of people stretched beyond the hospital and into my personal life taking care of kids. I currently babysit 2 twin boys age 2 that loves avocado, a 9 year old boy who cares for sports, a 3 year old boy who’s favorite desert is ice cream & a 1 year old little girl who’s favorite thing to do is go to the park. I would love to be a new addition to your family and watch your little ones grow into their own personalities.
