Booked by 20 families in Marietta, GA

Hi! My name is Lorrayne, and I’m 28 years old. I’ve been working in childcare since 2014 and have extensive experience caring for children of all ages, from newborns to teenagers. For the past 6 years, I worked with the same family, caring for their three children. I started when their youngest was just 1 month old, so I’m very comfortable with infant care and all the routines that come with it, including feeding, bottles, diaper changes, naps, soothing, and keeping little ones engaged and happy. A little about me: • CPR certified • 🗣️ Fluent in English and Portuguese • 🚗 Strong driver with a clean driving record • 🐕 Pet friendly • 💉 Fully vaccinated, including the booster I’m responsible, reliable, patient, and nurturing, and I genuinely love what I do. Caring for children is more than just a job to me — it’s something I do with a lot of love, patience, and dedication. ❤️ I don’t have many bookings on the app because I used it for a while, took a break, and recently started using it again. I do have some great reviews from families I’ve worked with, and I’d be happy to share more about my experience! I’d love to learn more about your family and the position. Thank you for considering me! 😊

Booked by 4 families in Marietta, GA

My name is Maria and I am a mother of two girls, ages 11 and 9. I have a bachelors degree in elementary education and a masters degree in curriculum and instruction. I taught 3rd and 4th grade for 14 years in Miami. I am a certified teacher in the state of Georgia and have been subbing for 5 years for Cobb County Schools. I come from a large family and have always loved helping take care of the little ones. I love to play with my kids, do arts and crafts, read books, and outdoor fun! I am comfortable caring for seniors that need some extra assistance at home or in getting around to the store or appointments.

Booked by 5 families in Marietta, GA

I love working with kids and being part of the energy, creativity, and joy they bring. Whether it’s playing games, helping with activities, or simply making them laugh, I enjoy building caring and supportive connections with children of all personalities and needs. I volunteer in the special needs ministry at my church, where I learned the importance of patience, kindness, and making every child feel included and valued. I’m also First Aid/CPR certified, so safety is always a priority for me. As an added bonus, I have also been housesitting animals for eight years. I look forward to meeting your pets and your kiddos! Note: Though my experience is at church, I will NEVER share my religious beliefs with your children unless otherwise instructed!

“Very punctual, and absolutely a wonderful sitter! ”
