Hi, my name is Aviyon. I come from a large family and have a lot of siblings, so caring for children has always been a natural part of my life. I currently have my own business as an hairdresser in Decatur, Ga that I love. I truly enjoy working with kids and creating a safe, positive, and supportive environment for them. I work with kids of all ages helping them grow, create routines, and educating them. I’m patient, reliable, and attentive, and I take pride in being someone families can trust. I also genuinely enjoy helping parents by providing dependable and caring support. I absolutely love to cook. And would be honored to help the parents run any errands, homework, or even cleaning around the home. As far as pets I absolutely love each and every animal no matter how big or small. I personally have a huge dog myself that i rescued off the street as a baby. Walking and keeping pets occupied are my strong suit.
Hey there! I’m Tatiana. I’m creative, energetic, and caring! I love spending time with kids, doing crafts, reading stories, and playing outside. I believe in keeping kids active, happy, and safe while making sure parents have total peace of mind.
Hi my name is Toni! I have two years of experience working with daycares and preschools as well as several years substitute teaching in elementary schools and tutoring. My specialty is infants but I’ve worked with all ages, all the way up to high school! I love kids and want to be able to created safe and fun environment for them to grow, learn, and play!

Hi! I’m Journi — your future favorite sitter! I started working at Today’s Kids of Suwanee when I was 18 and fresh out of high school, and I instantly fell in love with all the babies and tots I got to care for. I’ve worked in the baby room (6 months–1 year), crawlers (1 year), tots (1½–3), and with kiddos all the way up to 10 years old, so I’m comfortable jumping in wherever I’m needed. I may only be 20, but I’m super mature, responsible, and safety-minded. I’m a pharmacy technician during the day and a sitter by night — so your little ones are always in careful, attentive hands. Parents tell me I’m patient, playful, and easy to trust. And if you’ve got pets? Even better! I grew up with dogs and have my own little fur baby, Rico, so I’m great with animals too. I can’t wait to meet your family and help make your days a little easier. Feel free to message me anytime!
