Hello, I am Veronica and newly moved to Atlanta with my husband and our two dogs. With a career dedicated to child development and a lifetime of caregiving, I offer a unique blend of professional expertise and fun, reliable care. I have been babysitting since 2008 and have spent over 10 years working professionally in pediatric and adult occupational therapy. Coming from a large family, I’ve always been the go to cousin for games during family parties with my younger cousins, and I bring that same patient, guiding energy to every family I work with. My professional background has also allowed me to assist seniors with household tasks and companionship, making me a versatile caregiver for all ages. When I’m not working, I’m usually on an adventure with my two dogs and husband. I am a huge animal lover and am more than happy to care for your pets and help with light household services.

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.

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!
