Hello to all the beautiful families out there! My name is Farrah, and I am a current Doctor of Chiropractic student who has always loved caregiving. Since the age of 13, I partook in caregiving services for children ages three mos -16 years of age and seniors under my unofficial company name, FairBear Cares Babysitting Services. Fun fact, the name FairBear came from the babies I used to teach dance to for about 4-5 years while in high school. They were too young to enunciate my name, so they called me "Miss Faywuh or Miss Fare." In Whitney Houston's song, The Greatest Love of All, she said, "I believe the children are our future," and that gives a glimpse of why caregiving is so special to me. The joy and authenticity of kids is so refreshing and honestly an inspiration to me. I also live to serve, so giving back in any capacity is my true heartthrob. With that being said, I have experience in the healthcare field from working in Long-term acute care facilities and memory care senior homes, enabling me to sharpen skills such as empathy, patience, and being more nurturing to the patients and their families. I absolutely LOVE transforming a caregiving experience, so it is immersive, engaging, and peaceful for those being looked after. I am grateful for you considering me for the opportunity to love on your Loved ones. I wish you a remarkable rest of your day. Light and Love! ~Farrah
I have always had a natural connection with children, shaped by years of helping raise my nieces and nephews and being an active, caring presence in their lives. Growing up, I developed a strong sense of patience, understanding that every child learns and grows at their own pace. In addition to working with children, I have also cared for my elderly mother-in-law who had dementia, as well as my aging parents, which has strengthened my compassion, attentiveness, and deep level of patience. My background in customer service has further enhanced my communication skills, empathy, and ability to remain calm and positive in all situations—qualities that translate naturally into caregiving. I genuinely enjoy creating a supportive and nurturing environment where others feel safe, heard, and valued. Outside of work, I love gardening, enjoy hiking, and traveling, as these hobbies allow me to stay active, appreciate nature, and experience new cultures and perspectives that I can bring into my interactions with others.
“Diana was amazing. She had the perfect approach and demeanor to match my 4 year old's personality. She was calm, proactive and a natural with him. He was already asking about when she could come back and play. I'm always nervous with new sitters but I'm very grateful I found her.”
Hi! My name is Kennedi! I am seeking employment where I am able to utilize my skills and experience. I am Reliable, dependable, and hardworking with effective communication skills. I have about 3 years experience of exceptional care and support for families. Also I've just had my own baby so experience definitely comes with that as well. I am eager to learn with the ability to adapt quickly to any situation. I love building strong bonds with children and communicating with parents also creating nurturing environments, fostering child growth. Some of my skills include organizing activities, managing household tasks such as laundry, dishes, etc., preparing meals and more. I also have my own car. I am Adaptable, responsible and passionate about childcare. I am committed to exceeding expectations as a family's support system!
My childcare journey of caring for kids started in 2001 and the age range starts from infant up to teenage. My experience was gained in childcare facilities in multiple church's and daycare facilities I also have nanny experience of 8 years and babysitting in families homes.
I have had the pleasure of providing childcare to some of the sweetest families for over 20 years! I have been trained in First Aid and CPR for adults and children. I am an educator, I have developed children's programs for my church and community, and have a passion for early child development and child care. During college and graduate school I enjoyed providing extra help to families in need - I became an evening and overnight Nanny for medical residents and physicians. I have experience caring for newborns, children of all ages, disabled children and senior citizens. I'm a new resident to Atlanta and currently work in Clinical Research during the day. My evenings are free, so I decided to extend help to families that need a safe and trustworthy evening Nanny.
