Booked by 4 families in Buford, GA

Hello! I am a Physician Assistant student looking for babysitting opportunities. I have raised both my younger siblings, so I have lots of experience working with kids. I have also gotten additional experience working with kids when I used to work as a nurse. Throughout my undergraduate studies, I was babysitting two kids for 3 years. I am also CPR certified in case of any emergencies. I know how important it is to be patient and warm with kids and would take care of your kids like my own sibling. I look forward to helping out with your kids!

“Mahek was great! She was very responsible and wonderful with my son. She was prompt and responsive. I definitely ask her to babysit again.”

Booked by 1 family in Buford, GA

I have always had a natural connection with children, shaped by years of helping raise my nieces and nephews and being an active, caring presence in their lives. Growing up, I developed a strong sense of patience, understanding that every child learns and grows at their own pace. In addition to working with children, I have also cared for my elderly mother-in-law who had dementia, as well as my aging parents, which has strengthened my compassion, attentiveness, and deep level of patience. My background in customer service has further enhanced my communication skills, empathy, and ability to remain calm and positive in all situations—qualities that translate naturally into caregiving. I genuinely enjoy creating a supportive and nurturing environment where others feel safe, heard, and valued. Outside of work, I love gardening, enjoy hiking, and traveling, as these hobbies allow me to stay active, appreciate nature, and experience new cultures and perspectives that I can bring into my interactions with others.

“Diana was amazing. She had the perfect approach and demeanor to match my 4 year old's personality. She was calm, proactive and a natural with him. He was already asking about when she could come back and play. I'm always nervous with new sitters but I'm very grateful I found her.”

Grayson $15 per hour for 1 child

I’d be a great babysitter because I have extensive hands-on experience with children of all ages and backgrounds. I spent a year in Spain as an au pair caring for three young kids, which taught me patience, responsibility, and how to create a fun, structured environment. I’ve also worked with children with special needs, including nannying for a boy with unique care requirements, and I spent a summer working at a daycare supporting multiple age groups. Along with over five years of consistent babysitting experience, I currently work at a med spa and am finishing school online, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and multitasking skills. I’m reliable, caring, and confident in providing a safe and positive experience for any family.
