Hi, I’m Gabby, I’m 19 years old, and I’m an education major at Georgia College and State University who is home for the summer. I’ve been working with kids ages 2-17 off and on since I was 14. I’ve babysat, worked at a summer camp, daycare, and college campus job. My availability is very flexible and I am willing and able to do pickup/drops offs, basic cooking, feeding, bedtime, basic tutoring, household cleanup and more. Also if needed I am willing to negotiate my prices if asked. My passion is working with children making a fun and safe environment. I’d love to get to know you and your family!
Hello! My name is Peter, and I’m a 4th-year Medical Student with a lot of free time on my hands. I have several years of experience working with both children and the elderly, and I truly enjoy taking care of others. For three years during college, I worked as a babysitter for a family with three children (6 months to 11 years). Additionally, I worked as an elderly care provider with In-Home Supportive Services from 2[removed], where I helped disabled elderly shower, clean, cook, and much more. I also have experience teaching Sunday School to elementary and middle school kids, and have tutored children from Pre-K to 12th grade, so I’m happy to help with educational needs as well! Having grown up with three dogs of my own, I’m also very familiar with taking care of dogs. I also have a 12-year-old brother whom I helped raise. With my cheerful and kind personality, I love being silly and goofy with kids, making sure they have a fun and safe time. I’m excited to offer my services as a babysitter and am confident that I can provide a positive experience for you and your children.
Hi, I'm Jaylin, a second-year student at Tuskegee University with a caring and positive personality. I love being a sitter because I enjoy helping others, especially kids. Working with children comes naturally to me because I'm patient, understanding, and easy to connect with. Kids always know how to make me smile, and I enjoy creating a fun, safe, and supportive environment where they can feel comfortable and happy.l grew up helping watch and care for kids, which helped me become responsible and comfortable working with children of different ages. In high school, I also worked with kids in classrooms from Kindergarten through 5th grade, helping with activities, learning, and classroom support. Those experiences helped me build patience, communication skills, and a strong understanding of how to connect with children in a positive way.l have experience helping with homework, meals, activities, and keeping children entertained while making sure they stay safe and cared for. I'm dependable, responsible, and always willing to learn new things. I enjoy building strong connections with both kids and parents while making families feel supported and comfortable. I'm excited to continue gaining experience while doing something I truly enjoy.
Hello! My name is Kaelah, I'm 24 years old and I love caring for children! I have a great passion for being a safe and trusted person in the lives of little ones. I'm also very compassionate and patient. I have extensive experience both in casual babysitting and professional childcare, including special needs care. Child development and psychology has been a very important interest of mine, one which I even research and expand my knowledge on for fun in my free time, since high school. My experience with children ranges in ages from infancy to Middle School, with birth-age 5 being my most experienced area of my educational & professional history. I also have 1 year of experience as a caretaker of teenagers with severe mental health & behavioral disorders in a group home setting. Social Emotional Development is just as important to me as academic development, and I believe that teaching children how to regulate their emotions and behave empathetically towards others alongside the common core subjects like math and reading will help them for any path they take in life. I have a diploma from a 2 year vocational school where I attended the early childhood education program and graduated from that program with a 3.4 GPA. I have CPR/First Aid/AED certification for all ages, and I have Continuing Education Credits such as: -certification in trauma informed care -certified Epi-Pen administration -completed 10hr Health & Safety Course for Georgia childcare providers -certifications in social emotional, cognitive and physical development from birth-age 5 Comfort, communication, transparency, safety, and all family members in the home (parents included) feeling cared for & having their needs relating to childcare met are my top priorities. As a mother myself, it is my goal to give the children I work with, and their parents, peace of mind in their childcare arrangements. *about my rates* they can be negotiated if your family cannot securely afford $18/hr for 1 child or $21/hr for two children. As much as possible while still ensuring that I can provide for what my family needs, I am a firm believer that finances should not be a heavy barrier to receiving safe, trustworthy and compassionate childcare.
