Hi there! I’m a college senior with a love for science and an even bigger love for imaginative play. I’ve spent years working with kids, and my favorite part of the job is seeing them discover new things about the world. Because I study Neuroscience, I’m fascinated by how kids think and learn, which makes me a very patient and attentive caregiver. Kids usually gravitate toward my high energy and "yes, and" attitude during playtime! Parents describe me as highly reliable and someone they can trust implicitly with their household. I'm also happy to help with light meal prep, pet care, or homework help (especially science!). I’m excited to bring a mix of safety, fun, and a little bit of wonder to your family!
“Farzana was very professional and communicated she is willing to help with some simple errands and visitations. I plan on booking her for my senior parents.”
Hello families! My name is María, I am 28 years old, and I am originally from Spain. I came to the United States in 2021 to work as an au pair, taking care of a 1.5-year-old child. Since then, I have continued working in childcare and have gained more than 3 years of experience caring for toddlers between 1 and 3 years old. I have a degree in Pedagogy and I specialize in Autism Spectrum Disorder. I have experience working with children with special needs, especially children on the autism spectrum. I have also completed the 40-hour RBT (Registered Behavior Technician) training course and I am currently continuing with the certification process. I am a very motivated, energetic, and caring person. I love educating, teaching, and supporting little ones through their learning and developmental process. I am patient, responsible, and confident handling challenging situations, difficult behaviors, and tantrums using a calm and positive approach. I also have experience with cooking and healthy meal preparation. During my work as a Coach and DSP (Direct Support Professional), I received training related to nutrition and meal planning, which helped me develop strong skills in preparing healthy and balanced meals. At the moment, I am looking for occasional/day-by-day nanny jobs to help families who need extra support with childcare. I can also assist with light housekeeping, laundry, meal preparation, and keeping the home organized. If your family needs a caring, experienced, and reliable person to look after your little ones, or if you know someone who does, please feel free to send me a private message. I would love to help! Thank you!
I worked at Ashford Academy Daycare in Dunwoody over the summer of 2022. Also, I worked at First Baptist Church in Decatur as an after school counselor. I am First Aid and CPR Certified and am comfortable working with any age. I'd describe my personality as ambitious, empathetic, and genuine. I like working with kids because they are pure, creative, imaginative and inspiring. They remind us to be the best we can be, and I try to inspire the kids to be better. I'm looking for a job that involves clear communication and consistency. My skills include engaging, redirecting, adapting to the individual child's needs.
I am 30 years old. I was born in the Philippines but grew up in Florida. I moved to Atlanta October of 2021. I enjoy walks in the park, reading, watching movies, and learning new things. I enjoy real estate and new languages fascinate me. I love mathematics and have a degree in Accounting. I come from a family of 6 children and so my experience with babies is superb.
I’m a kind, creative, and patient caregiver who loves engaging children in fun, hands-on activities rather than screen time. I have experience caring for kids of various ages, including helping with homework, arts & crafts, outdoor play, and light meal prep. I’m reliable, energetic, and focused on creating a safe and positive environment for children to learn and grow.
“Maddy was wonderful, professional, on time, helpful, and we look forward to working with her again.”
