Hi, my name is Mia and I am 23 years old! I recently graduated from Clemson University with a Bachelor's degree in Biology and a double minor in Psychology and Microbiology. I am now located in Atlanta to pursue my Master's degree at Emory University! While earning my Bachelor's, I nannied for several lovely families with children 0-4 years old and worked as a caregiver at an assisted living and memory care facility. I am CPR/BLS certified, have reliable transportation, and have many years of experience working with children, young adults, and seniors with physical and developmental disabilities. I love baking, doing crafts, playing games, and fostering a safe space for learning, creativity, and growth. In my personal time I love to go on scenic hikes, volunteer, read, use my sewing machine, and travel with my friends! I look forward to meeting you, and please contact me if you have any questions!
My name is Elizabeth (Liz) Hemann and I recently graduated from Emory University School of Law. I have been working with kids for about 14 years now. I have had the most experience with children between 2 and 8 years old, but I love working with kids of all ages. If the weather is nice, I like to take the kids outside (walks, park, etc.). If not, art projects and reading books are my go-to. I am currently living in Cleveland, OH.
I'd describe my personality as fun, attentive, and caring. I like working with kids because I grew up in a pretty large family and love being a part of the development and growth of children! I love seeing the moment a new skill or trait clicks for them, and I love helping them turn into the people they were created to be! I started working with kids in middle school through babysitting and working in the church nursery and kids classes. I currently serve as the deacon of kids ministry at my church and regularly serve in child care on Sunday mornings. I worked as a full time nanny for a few months after graduating college. I've been babysitting and nannying off and on since then, and most recently worked as an afterschool program coordinator with elementary and middle school students. I have experience with all ages, but especially love to care for toddlers and young elementary. In my spare time, I like to read lots of fun books, watch movies, and go for walks! I also love music and love to attend concerts in the Atlanta area!
Hi! My name is Carola and I’m 20 years old. Im offering child care, pets care and house sitting. I’m babysitter since I was 17 years old, taking care of children of my parents' friends and being my responsibilities pick up/drop off them at school, cook, do homework or play with them. And also I always took care of my family’s pets when they are on vacation.
I am a recent college graduate from Emory with a passion for working with children. I have multiple years of childcare experience, including teaching, camp counseling, tutoring, and babysitting. I love to spend time outdoors and doing crafts -- it's the camp counselor in me! My favorite ages are 9-13, but I have experience with infants through 17 year olds. I have worked for a medical specialty camp, so I have experience with basic medical care/first aid. I also have experience with pets, and I grew up with parent working in animal behavior. I have the most experience with cats, dogs, and bunnies. Able to perform day to day care and basic medical care for most animals.
