Find an experienced nanny in Atlanta, GA

Q: How much should I expect to pay a nanny in Atlanta?

Nanny rates vary based on location, the nanny’s experience, and how many children need care. In most areas, nannies earn between $18–$30 per hour. Full-time, experienced nannies or those providing additional services (like tutoring or transportation) may charge more. On SitterTree, rates, expectations and schedules are set upfront for stress-free negotiations.

Q: What is the best way to find a nanny in Atlanta?

It's easy to find a nanny in Atlanta on platforms like SitterTree, which require ID verifications and background checks for nannies to stay active on the app. Look for nannies with relevant experience, and strong reviews from other parents. You can also meet candidates through local parenting networks or referrals, but it's important to conduct a reference check and background screening before making a decision.

Q: Is it cheaper to hire a nanny or daycare?

It depends on your family’s needs. Usually, daycare is more affordable for one child, but you might want to hire a nanny if you have multiple children or need flexible hours. Many parents choose nannies for personal attention, in-home convenience, and consistent care.

Q: What is the hourly rate for a nanny in Atlanta?

Most nannies earn $18–$30 per hour, though rates vary by city, experience, and responsibilities. Specialized care (for newborns, overnights, or travel) often comes with a higher rate. Checking average rates in your area is the best way to stay competitive and fair.

Q: What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter in Atlanta?

A nanny provides regular, ongoing care—often weekly or full-time—and may help with routines, meals, school pickups, and child development. A babysitter usually provides occasional or short-term care, like date nights or weekends. Both roles are important, but you should make your choice based on the hours and consistency your family needs.

Q: How do you find a reliable nanny in Atlanta?

Look for consistency, communication, and great reviews. On SitterTree, every nanny must meet Quality Standards, including a minimum 4.5-star rating, 0 no-shows, and no more than 3 last-minute cancellations. Ratings are generated from real parent reviews, so you can get an accurate sense of each nanny's reliability.

Q: How to safely hire a nanny in Atlanta?

To make safe hiring decisions, review references, run a background check, and schedule an in-person or virtual interview. Ask about certifications like CPR and First Aid and previous experience. On SitterTree, nannies verify their identity and pass a background check, so you can focus on finding the right fit without worrying about what’s behind the profile.

I’m all about creating a fun and engaging environment arts and crafts are my specialty, but I’m always up for any activity that brings a smile to your little one’s face. I’m also happy to prepare meals or snacks and help tidy up around the house to make things easier for you.

I love to go outside and play basketball, soccer, and football, go for walks, and ride bikes. I love to play board games and help with any educational practices. I love to bake and have the kids help with different baking steps. My experience with ages range from 1 to 12 years old. I am very passionate when it comes to babysitting, it is more than just watching kids to me. I get to bring out my inner child and exude happiness all throughout the time we are together. The kids can rely on me to keep them safe and teach them different ways to have fun. I love being asked questions about life and seeing different points of views from the children.

I am passionate about working with kids because they bring out my inner child-like joy! For many years, I have enjoyed caring for children of all ages and have had a great deal of experience with newborns/infants as well. My experience ranges from interning/co-teaching at primary and middle schools (I've co-led classes), family sitting (all ages), church nursery work, early childhood classes, and to now having nannied for several families over the past 9 years. I'm fun, responsible, loving, reliable, trustworthy, and very excited to work with you and your little one(s)!

My childcare experience began over 20 years ago when I worked as a teachers’ aid during my summer breaks. Since then I have worked full time as a nanny, babysat for many families, and have been on staff at a youth summer camp. I have worked full-time as a nanny with an infant starting at 3 months until she was 2.5 years. From August 2020-August 2021 I worked full time for a family with 3 children ages 2, 3 and 6. I helped out with virtual school along with caring for the 2 toddlers during the day. I am CPR and first aid certified, up to date on my T-DAP and Covid vaccinated. I believe in developing good communication with families, learning and following family rules, and finding engaging ways to spend the day away from television or screens as much as possible. I believe in keeping a daily log that helps to communicate the child’s activities, diaper changes, and any other issue that comes up. I studied graphic design in college and have always loved using that creativity in whatever I’m doing. Working with children is a perfect opportunity as they are naturally curious and creative. I love preparing fun activities and crafts and can't wait to meet your little ones!
