Booked by 5 families in Smyrna, 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! ”

My name is Tia C. I am currently a nursing student with a strong foundation in patient-centered care and a genuine commitment to supporting children’s well-being and development. I am CPR/BLS certified and bring both clinical awareness and a calm, attentive presence into the home. I understand the importance of reliability, structure, and clear communication, especially within busy professional households. I am highly dependable, detail-oriented, and intuitive about each child’s needs, while also respecting the family's routines, expectations, and privacy. My goal is to provide a safe, organized, and nurturing environment where children feel secure and supported, allowing parents to feel confident and at ease. I would love to be a trusted and consistent support for your family.

In addition to babysitting, I frequently dog sit and genuinely love caring for both children and pets. I’m punctual, dependable, and caring.
