Danesha $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Danesha. I currently work with young children in both an elementary school setting with kindergartners and at a daycare. I truly enjoy being a part of children’s early development, helping them learn, grow, and build confidence during such important stages of their lives. Working with kids requires patience, creativity, and compassion, and I take pride in showing up with those qualities every day. Outside of work, I am a dedicated mother to three beautiful children who mean everything to me. Being their mom is my greatest joy and motivation. I strive to create a loving, supportive environment for them while also balancing my responsibilities at work. My experiences as both a parent and an educator allow me to connect deeply with children and families, understanding their needs from multiple perspectives.

Kaelah $18 per hour for 1 child

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.

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.
