My name is Claudine, I have a bachelor’s degree in public health, speak two languages, including English, I have been a caregiver for infants, toddlers, and school aged children for 10+ year (since I was 15 years old) often creating activities for the children, taking them to the park, making their breakfast and dinner, reading to them at night, and more.

I am not comfortable around dogs, but can manage once I get to know the dog.

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.

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!
