I'd describe my personality as fun, attentive, and caring. I like working with kids because I grew up in a pretty large family and love being a part of the development and growth of children! I love seeing the moment a new skill or trait clicks for them, and I love helping them turn into the people they were created to be! I started working with kids in middle school through babysitting and working in the church nursery and kids classes. I currently serve as the deacon of kids ministry at my church and regularly serve in child care on Sunday mornings. I worked as a full time nanny for a few months after graduating college. I've been babysitting and nannying off and on since then, and most recently worked as an afterschool program coordinator with elementary and middle school students. I have experience with all ages, but especially love to care for toddlers and young elementary. In my spare time, I like to read lots of fun books, watch movies, and go for walks! I also love music and love to attend concerts in the Atlanta area!

Hello to all the beautiful families out there! My name is Farrah, and I am a current Doctor of Chiropractic student who has always loved caregiving. Since the age of 13, I partook in caregiving services for children ages three mos -16 years of age and seniors under my unofficial company name, FairBear Cares Babysitting Services. Fun fact, the name FairBear came from the babies I used to teach dance to for about 4-5 years while in high school. They were too young to enunciate my name, so they called me "Miss Faywuh or Miss Fare." In Whitney Houston's song, The Greatest Love of All, she said, "I believe the children are our future," and that gives a glimpse of why caregiving is so special to me. The joy and authenticity of kids is so refreshing and honestly an inspiration to me. I also live to serve, so giving back in any capacity is my true heartthrob. With that being said, I have experience in the healthcare field from working in Long-term acute care facilities and memory care senior homes, enabling me to sharpen skills such as empathy, patience, and being more nurturing to the patients and their families. I absolutely LOVE transforming a caregiving experience, so it is immersive, engaging, and peaceful for those being looked after. I am grateful for you considering me for the opportunity to love on your Loved ones. I wish you a remarkable rest of your day. Light and Love! ~Farrah
