Stone Mountain
$25 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 34 families in Athens, GA

Hello, my name is Dorothy. I am new to the area. I graduated from South Carolina State University in 2011 in child development. In the past 7 years I have worked with a variety of different camps throughout the states and other countries so I have experience with working with children. I am working a full time job that will not required me to be around kids. I feel like I love being around kids because they bring me joy in life. I hope you find this helpful and if you have anymore questions about me fill free to message me.

I hired Dorothy to take my son to and from school. I needed someone last minute and Dorothy came through. Ive had a few experiences where sitters take on a job, then quit when they are overwhelmed by the travel demands, but Dorothy thought about what I needed, and was committed to sticking to it. She was punctual, and gave me regular updates regarding my son's drop off and pick up. She also gave me her DL and tag information before I could even ask! That really put me at ease, as we are always nervous, as parents, entrusting others with our children. My son also expressed how much he liked her and felt comfortable with her, and my son doesn't just like anyone..lol. I would definitely hire Dorothy again.

Booked by 17 families in Athens, GA

Hi! I’m a warm, bubbly, and experienced caregiver with over 20 years of childcare experience, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids. I began babysitting as a teen and have since cared for many wonderful families as both a nanny and sitter. I currently work full-time at a daycare until 4pm on weekdays so at this time I’m looking for work in the evenings/nights and weekends. I’m CPR and First Aid certified, reliable, and always bring a positive attitude. I love engaging with kids through play, crafts, music, and storytime, while also supporting their routines and emotional needs. Whether you need a one-time sitter or ongoing help, I’m here to make things easier for your family with care you can count on. I look forward to meeting you and your little ones!

I am also first aid CPR and AED certified in both pediatric and adults. If you would like to see my certification from the Red Cross please let me know and I’ll be more than happy to send it to you.I am a fun, playful, lovable young adult, who loves interacting with kids and has been told she has a great connection of children. My experience comes from shadowing and helping my grandma babysit my sister and cousins over the summer since I was 12 to 18. During my sophomore and junior of high school, I was in an early education class where there was a daycare with 2 to 4 years old I would interact with them three days a week. We would do different activities with them For example, we would go on the go outside on the playground, make art projects, helped them with their ABCs and counting. Since joining the site, parents have trusted me to watch their Two and four year old siblings. Occasionally, I also watch sisters that are five and 10 years old. Most recently I’ve been trusted take care of a six month old for the day and the allowed me to bring her to my apartment since the grandmother was at work, and the mother was traveling. I love the way their minds work. They are so smart and so intelligent at such a young age is very interesting. I will care and look after your children as if they are my own. I will actively report if anything happens and would love to be known of any allergies or any fears that they may have that prevent them from having good time under my care. I would love to get to know your children have fun we can build Legos or we can crochet anything you wanna do I’m down. I hope you have a beautiful day and hope that you contact me soon.

Shayla was very responsive on the app and very very attentive with my child and making sure he was cared for. I highly recommend Shayla. We will be using her gain.

Hi, I’m Ana! I’m 18 and currently in college studying Psychology, with plans to become a child psychologist. I have over five years of experience caring for kids ages 1-12 and also offer pet sitting.I love creating a fun and safe environment through activities like reading, crafts, baking, outdoor play, and movie nights. Growing up with 10 younger cousins has given me plenty of experience and a true love for working with children.

Throughout Ana’s time in high school she babysat for my 2 kids. She has a genuine love of children. She is super patient and kind with them. Always responsible and on time. My kids love when Ms. Ana comes because they know they will have fun. She’s very engaging with them that is rare in this day and age. My kids were 2 and 4 when she started taking care of them. I know she can handle all ages as well. She spoke of spending lots of time in the summers with her little cousins of all ages. I would recommend her to all my friends.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

Kamilah W., mom of one

photo of quoted parent Eric

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."

Eric D., dad of two
