Shakira $13 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Shakira, and I provide loving, reliable, and attentive childcare in a safe, fun, and positive environment. I previously worked as an infant daycare teacher and have experience caring for children of different ages and developmental stages. I’m currently attending college online while working at a police station during the week, and I hope to build a career in law enforcement. I enjoy creating a safe, caring environment where children can learn, play, and feel supported. I have experience caring for infants, toddlers, preschoolers, and school-age children. I enjoy keeping children engaged with age-appropriate activities such as arts and crafts, reading, outdoor play, educational games, and creative activities. I can also help with homework, prepare simple meals and snacks, assist with bedtime routines, and encourage healthy daily habits. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to help with child-related household tasks such as washing bottles, cleaning up after meals, tidying play areas, children’s laundry, organizing children’s belongings, and keeping common areas neat. I have reliable transportation and a valid driver’s license. Current availability: • Monday and Wednesday: Available anytime. After 5pm • Friday through Sunday: Available anytime as needed. • Tuesday and Thursday: Currently unavailable due to my commitment to another family. Starting after September 1 when my law enforcement internship ends, my availability will change: • Monday and Wednesday : Available anytime. • Friday through Sunday: Available anytime as needed. I pride myself on being dependable, patient, and communicative. My goal is to give parents peace of mind while providing children with a safe, engaging, and nurturing environment where they can thrive.

Veronica $25 per hour for 1 child

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 look forward to supporting your family!
