Hi! My name is Olivia but I mostly go by Liv. I have been working with children since I was 12 years old and I started to mothers help around my neighborhood!

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.

Astrid
Hello, My name is Astrid Alejandra Arias-Barrera, I am a photographer and mixed media artist, and I have always had a strong, natural connection with children. From a young age, I helped care for younger kids in my family and developed a very nurturing, motherly personality. I had to step away from work for a period of time, but I am now ready and excited to return to working with families and children. For the past four years, I have provided childcare on and off for family members, roommates, and friends. Through these experiences, I have learned how to be patient, responsible, and attentive to each child’s individual needs. I am dependable, a quick learner, and very open-minded. I am also happy to help with cooking, cleaning and any other household tasks as needed. I am truly grateful for any opportunity to support a family and provide safe, loving care for their children.

Rhonda

As a mom of 2, soon to be 3, I know what it means to nurture a child. I believe in training my children up in the way they should go. I love doing arts and crafts with the kids. We sing gospel songs and age appropriate songs together. I am not a huge fan of YouTube, but I love being more hands on “pencil to paper”. I create workbooks to cater to each child. I also provide Spanish teaching, Sight word flash cards, and Biblical teaching (parents choice). I’m a huge fan of hooked on phonics, so this course can be provided as well. I have my own vehicle. I rather to pick up the child and sit in my home, if possible. I cook and provide snacks as well. Thank you.

Banchamlak
hello, "As a proud mom of two wonderful girls, aged 10 and 8, I understand the importance of finding someone who not only cares for your children but also creates a nurturing and fun environment. I’ve spent years honing my caregiving skills, ensuring that my own daughters feel loved, safe, and supported—something I’m passionate about sharing with the children I look after. When it comes to babysitting, I believe in creating positive, engaging experiences. Whether it’s crafting, reading, outdoor play, or simply enjoying a movie night, I love tailoring activities to match the interests and needs of each child. I’m always ready to provide a caring, attentive, and fun atmosphere while ensuring safety and structure. I look forward to meeting your little ones and helping them have a fantastic time while you’re away!
