Farzana 1 review
$18 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Scottdale, GA

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.”

Hi! My name is Shaina and I am a student at Georgia State University. I am offering child care services. I have been a science camp counselor three times and a youth football camp counselor twice. I used to work at the Creme de la Creme early learning center in Sandy Springs and absolutely loved working with the children there and learning about each child. I have taken care of children ages ranging from infants to middle school and looked after groups of 7-18 children at a time alone. I have taken 10 hours of Georgia Health and Safety training and was given my Professional Development certification. I am also happy to work with families that have pets!

Kathy $25 per hour for 1 child

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.
