Hi! I’m Desiree, everyone calls me Desi! I’m currently a Stay at home mom to a 1 year old girl. I am offering Childcare, Pet care and Household services. I started my nannying and babysitter career because i was always told i wasn’t able to have kids. So working with kids became a big part of me. I worked as a Montessori teacher and still currently sub there when needed. I have tons of references from families who i have worked for and still currently do. Most my families i have been with for years but im currently branching out because most my kids are in school and afterschool programs but i still help where i can if needed. I have tons of experience pet sitting and house sitting. I grew up with a bunch of animals and i adore them big or small I’m comfortable with them all. Im here for you and your family even if that includes taking the child / animal to the park, activities, meeting with friends or on a walk . The kids and animals i keep are safe and always become my own. I do have a 1 year old that my grandmother keeps. So she will be with her most of the time but my ideal family is if my daughter need to come with me because my grandmother has something to do..your okay with her coming. Thank you so much for taking the time in reading my bio. If you have anymore questions please reach out!
I am a 53 year old woman who loves to work with children, seniors and pets. When my children were young, I owned a daycare in my home, for infants, up to school age children. I have raised 2 children of my own, who are both wonderful adults now. For the last 7 months I have been a live in caregiver for an 83 year old, disabled woman. I truly enjoyed caring for this lady, but have moved and looking to watch children again. I have a heart for helping others. In my spare time, I house sit for animals when the pet owners go away, as well as provide dog walking services. I love animals too and would be happy to help in whatever way needed.

Hi, my name is Karen. I live in Smyrna near Sam Ridley Pkwy. I am seeking to care for a child, senior or animal part time. I do not have children but have taken care of all 3 listed throughout everyday life. Mature, non smoker but I still laugh as much as possible! I am open to errands, pick up/drop off, vet visits. I love all animals (not too sure about snakes though, lol). My German Shepherd, Hope can vouch for me, LOL. She is my 'foster fail'. If any questions, just ask.
Hi my name is Julia but I go by Jay! I love working with and caring for children and i’ve been wanting to step more into the world of childcare. I’m pediatric and adult CPR certified and am willing to care for children 1 and up. I’ll also perform any housekeeping needs, care for pets, provide any needed transportation to and from school or activities, and I can prepare meals or do any necessary meal prep. I love crafting, nature, reading, and writing!
I am a highly experienced, compassionate and medically trained child care provider. I am passionate about creating fun and safe environments for children to thrive in. I have three children of my own, and have been working for a number of years teaching children and caring for them in their own homes. I am happy helping with household chores and pet care.
