Diana 1 review
$14 per hour for 1 child
Booked by 1 family in Decatur, GA

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.”

Mackenzie $25 per hour for 1 child

Hi – My name is Mackenzie and I’m a recent college graduate living in Atlanta. I’m offering child care, senior care, pet care, and household services. I love being a babysitter and have experience caring for infants, toddlers, school-age kids, and teens. My responsibilities have included school pickups/drop-offs, homework help, creative play, bedtime routines, and keeping kids safe, happy, and engaged. I have experience supporting older adults and am comfortable with senior care tasks such as companionship, cooking, transportation to appointments, and general daily support. I’m also great with pets and happy to help with feeding, walking, and sitting for both dogs and cats. I’m reliable, warm, and patient — and I take pride in being someone families can trust and depend on.

Star $14 per hour for 1 child

Hi, my name is Star. I have extensive experience in childcare, having babysat my younger cousins from the time they were toddlers (ages 2, 4, and 5) until they reached middle school. My responsibilities included preparing snacks, changing diapers, and assisting with potty training. I also helped with their early education by reading stories and singing educational songs to teach them the alphabet, colors, and seasons in a fun and engaging way. In addition to caring for my cousins, I also babysat my younger sister, where I played an active role in her early development. I assisted with potty training, encouraged her learning through interactive activities, and provided a nurturing environment that supported her growth. Beyond direct childcare, I am open to handling household tasks such as laundry and cleaning, ensuring a well-maintained and organized space for children. Beyond babysitting, I also gained classroom experience as an assistant teacher at Brit Elementary, where I worked with young students in reading and math. In this role, I helped create a structured and supportive learning environment by managing classroom behavior, calming students, and promoting positive interactions. I focused on developing students’ interpersonal skills, social confidence, and self-esteem while encouraging a love for learning. My experience in both home and classroom settings has helped me develop strong communication, patience, and leadership skills. I take pride in creating a safe, fun, and educational atmosphere for children of all ages. Whether through teaching, caregiving, or maintaining a structured environment, I am dedicated to supporting children's development and well-being.
