Hi! My name is Mia and I’m a super helper! I am the oldest of 6 and have had 5+ years of experience sitting for my own family, family friends/outside hires, in classroom and daycare work. I love to incorporate arts and crafts into my activities and like to follow the guidelines of the parent when it comes to screen time. I have experience with regular pet care (cat & dog), and elderly help and household chores.
Hello! My name is Marlee, and I've been a caregiver for over 3 years, working as a babysitter, daycare teacher, mentor, and nanny. I am CPR-certified with experience caring for children of all ages- most of my experience being with preschoolers. I have a strong understanding of early childhood milestones and lesson planning creating a fun, safe, educational, and nurturing environment for every child in my care. l've had the opportunity to babysit for a few tamilies, including my experience as a daycare teacher, but I'm currently looking for a recurring family to work with long term ! I'd love to assist you in caring for your little one while you're busy! Let me know if you have any questions-l'd be happy to chat more!
Hello! Thank you for viewing my profile. I'm Kayla Spain, 25 years old. I have recently graduated from Alabama State University, majoring in Biology Pre-health. I have been caring for children since I became an older sister to my younger brother. I became a babysitter on a regular basis and also was there for my younger cousins as well. I have a lot of experience working with infants and toddlers. I've worked for a daycare at the age of 14- 18 where I prepared meals, developed lesson plans, and also maintained a safe and clean environment. I honestly love working with young kids and I make sure it's my mission to make sure they are keeping a smile on their face.
“I've worked with Kayla a few times now, and she has been wonderful each time. She is very reliable and so patient with my little guy. Always punctual and quick to respond, which I really appreciate. I'd gladly work with her again!”
Hi my name is LaDonna Russell, most people just call me Donna. I am a 31 year old woman who loves working with kids. I have had experience with all ages and have most recently been working with a few families with children from birth-4 years old. I am CPR certified (BLS renewal date 04/19/2026). I love reading and helping little ones learn about the world around them. I am willing to help out with little chores like tidying and laundry. I am comfortable working with breast milk and formula. I know each family does things differently and I look forward to learning what works best with each family individually.
“LaDonna has been an absolute blessing caring for my son Xander. She approaches him with so much patience, warmth, and genuine care — she takes the time to understand his needs and always makes him feel safe and supported. I’ve noticed real trust build between them, and that means everything to me as his mom. LaDonna is reliable, attentive, and treats Xander like family. I couldn’t ask for a better caregiver, and I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for someone truly dedicated to their child’s wellbeing.”
Hi there, my name is Faith! I am offering childcare and house hold services. I’m a college student majoring in Health Science, with 3 years of experience babysitting children aged 18 months to 12 years old . I’m CPR and First Aid certified, so you can rest assured your little ones are in safe hands. I love listening to music, cooking up fun meals, and getting creative with arts and crafts. I'm all about making sure kids have a fun and safe time while learning and exploring!
