Hello, I am 23 yrs old and I am a Gymnastics Instructor looking to support families. I have been in the Childcare industry since I was 17 and would love to potential to grow with a family. I have a positive and creative energy that engages any age group I come across and look forward to making honest and real connections.
I’m a 20-year-old caregiver with a genuine passion for helping and serving others. I graduated from North Atlanta High School and have one year of hands-on experience working in senior care, providing daily support, companionship, and assistance with routines. In addition, I’ve worked in a daycare setting where I care for young children, support their daily schedules, and help create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment. I’m naturally patient, compassionate, and dependable, and I take pride in building trust with families while providing attentive, loving care.
Hello, my name is Taleia. I have three years of experience as a teacher assistant, working with children ranging from 12 months to 12 years old. My background includes both Montessori and traditional classroom settings, and I currently serve as a toddler Montessori assistant teacher. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Education and am CPR certified, which allows me to provide both safe and enriching care. In addition to childcare, I have one year of experience pet sitting cats and dogs of various sizes and breeds, ensuring their needs are met with patience and attentiveness. My strengths include being nurturing, reliable, and highly organized, which helps me create a supportive and structured environment for those in my care. Beyond work, I enjoy exploring local vintage and thrift stores, which reflects my creative and resourceful personality. I bring compassion, adaptability, and a strong sense of responsibility to every caregiving role, whether with children, pets, or household support.
I have experience working with dogs, cats, horses, mini horses, goats, pigs, chickens, and peacocks. Most regularly, I help pet owners by dropping in once or twice per day to feed animals and take on walks. I am sometimes available for overnight jobs, but is dependent on dates and locations.
“An ideal pet and house sitter! James is punctual and flexible with his hours. Highly motivated, kind, attentive, and a nice guy to ask for film recommendations. Does not have any childcare experience, to my knowledge, but has had dogs, cats, and has even worked on a farm, and can handle larger animals if needed.”
Hello! My name is Nyah. I'm am a Clark Atlanta University Graduate with a degree in elementary education. I have 4 years of elementary teaching experience and am stepping away from the classroom to pursue a Masters degree in Social Work. I am CPR/First Aid Certified. I would love to incorporate my love for creativity and the outdoors into my relationship with a family. My current rate is $20 an hour. I can't wait to meet you!
