Hello, I’m Nanny Ayesha, I’m a dedicated postpartum, newborn care, and infant specialist providing nurturing, developmentally focused support for growing families. My approach centers on creating calm, enriching environments through sensory, creative, and educational play that supports healthy milestones and joyful connections. In addition to ongoing family care, I am available for weddings, private events, overnight and weekend travel, and private family support, offering dependable, loving care when you need an extra set of trusted hands. Please note: I do not provide care for sick children—full transparency ensures the best care for everyone. Ask me about my music circles for children, available as an add-on service. These engaging sessions invite little ones to explore rhythm and sound through singing, simple instruments, movement, and playful activities that spark creativity, support early development, and bring joyful connection through music. Looking forward to service your family! Warmly, Ayesha

Hi! I am an experienced sitter seasoned in taking care of toddlers and young children. I love pets, being outdoors, and generally enjoy watching any good movie or show. I’m well versed at meal prep and cleaning. Hope to meet soon!
Hi, my name is Mia and I am 23 years old! I recently graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a double minor in Psychology and Microbiology. I am now located in Atlanta to pursue my Master's degree at Emory University! While earning my Bachelor's, I nannied for several lovely families with children 0-4 years old and worked as a caregiver at an assisted living and memory care facility. I am CPR/BLS certified, have reliable transportation, and have many years of experience working with children, young adults, and seniors with physical and developmental disabilities. I love baking, doing crafts, playing games, and fostering a safe space for learning, creativity, and growth. In my personal time I love to go on scenic hikes, volunteer, read, use my sewing machine, and travel with my friends! I look forward to meeting you, and please contact me if you have any questions!
My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Hemann and I recently graduated from Emory University School of Law. I have been working with kids for about 14 years now. I have had the most experience with children between 2 and 8 years old, but I love working with kids of all ages. If the weather is nice, I like to take the kids outside (walks, park, etc.). If not, art projects and reading books are my go-to. I am currently living in Cleveland, OH.
I’m an experienced behavioral health professional with several years of experience working with children and families, including children with autism and developmental needs. I hold a master’s degree in psychology and am currently pursuing my Doctor of Behavioral Health. I’m patient, dependable, organized, and genuinely enjoy creating a safe, positive, and engaging environment for kids. My professional background has given me experience supporting routines, managing challenging behaviors, communicating with families, and meeting each child where they are. I’m also comfortable helping with homework, activities, meals, light household tasks, and maintaining daily routines. After years in healthcare operations and leadership, I’m looking forward to getting back to more direct, meaningful work with children and families while completing my doctorate.
