Taylor
Hi! My name is Taylor, and I have a strong background in childcare both personally and through experience. I am a current grad student getting my degree in clinical mental health counseling. As a mom, I understand firsthand the level of care, patience, and attention children need to feel safe and supported. In addition to raising my own child, I have experience babysitting and caring for children of different ages. I’m comfortable with daily routines, meal preparation, playtime, and creating a positive, nurturing environment. I’m reliable, attentive, and truly enjoy working with kids and supporting their growth and development. I look forward to the opportunity to help care for your child!

Every child deserves to feel seen, safe, and genuinely loved. That's the heart behind the way I care for kids. Hi, I'm Nkay. I've spent years taking care of my little nieces and nephews, and that's really where my love for childcare started. Being the go-to auntie taught me patience, gentleness, and how to keep kids entertained while keeping things calm and structured. I'm a Christian, and my faith guides the way I show up for children with kindness, integrity, and a nurturing spirit. I love creating warm, meaningful moments with kids, whether we're reading stories, playing games, or just talking about their world. Parents describe me as dependable, peaceful, and someone their kids connect with instantly. I believe childhood is sacred, and I treat every child with the same love and care I give to the little ones in my own family. If you're looking for someone who genuinely loves kids and brings a comforting, positive presence into your home, I'd be honored to support your family.

Makaila
Hi! My name is Makaila, and I’m a Health Science major at Spelman College with a strong passion for working with children and supporting their growth in positive environments. I have experience volunteering in special education classrooms, mentoring youth, coaching Girls on the Run, teaching dance, and leading community outreach through my nonprofit organization, Tiny Tummy Trust. I began working with children at a young age while helping care for my 6 younger siblings. At 12, I started teaching dance to children, later became a special education teacher assistant, coached my own dance team, and now work as a behavior technician. I’m compassionate, dependable, and outgoing, and I enjoy creating engaging activities while helping children feel safe, supported, and encouraged. My long-term career goal is to work in pediatric mental health and continue positively impacting children and families.
