We’re a women-owned and operated app committed to helping parents, preschools, and religious organizations find child care when they need it most. What started as a babysitter’s club in Atlanta has grown into a trusted network across the nation.

Analiese
Hi! I’m Analiese Poe, a sophomore pre-medicine student studying Health Science at Spelman College. I am a Certified Clinical Medical Assistant with experience in pediatric care. I have several years of babysitting experience from my hometown (Clarksville/Fort Campbell, TN), along with experience tutoring children both in person and virtually. I have also served in children’s church programs, where I supported age-appropriate activities, supervision, and engagement in structured group settings. Additionally, I volunteer with Blue Star Families, supporting reading literacy family nights and organizing community events for children. As the daughter of a single mother who relied on babysitters while working full-time, I understand how important it is to have someone trustworthy, attentive, and genuinely caring with your child. I strive to be that support for other families. I love connecting with children through fun, interactive, and educational activities, and I value supporting their growth through every developmental stage. I am dependable, patient, and safety-focused, and I would love the opportunity to care for your little ones!

Emma
Hi! My name is Emma. I’m a recent college grad with a degree in Neuroscience and Biology, with minors in Psychology and Spanish. I love being creative—especially when it comes to homework and making learning fun and engaging for kids. I also enjoy spending time outdoors, reading, and helping out with everyday tasks around the house. I truly enjoy being supportive, and I love knowing I can assist you and your child however you need. In terms of childcare experience, I’ve worked with children of all ages, including newborns, infants, toddlers, and preschoolers. I’m also more than happy to help with schoolwork if needed. During my junior year of high school, I interned in a 5th-grade classroom, which gave me great insight into older children’s learning needs. In addition to that, I’ve worked at a daycare and have provided childcare for a few families over the years. Overall, I am flexible, reliable, and dedicated to creating a safe, fun, and supportive environment for your child. I look forward to helping in any way I can!

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.

Jertoraah
I bring several years of hands on experience working with children in licensed pediatric settings, daycare facilities, in-home care, and church environments. Through these roles, I have developed strong skills in supporting daily routines, promoting positive behavior, and maintaining a safe, structured, and nurturing environment. My experience in daycare and pediatric settings has strengthened my ability to manage group care, follow health and safety protocols, and support developmental milestones, while my work in home and church environments has allowed me to provide individualized care, lead engaging activities, and foster strong, positive relationships. I am dedicated to supporting each child’s developmental, emotional, and social growth through attentive care and age-appropriate learning experiences. I take pride in creating a warm, engaging atmosphere where children feel safe, valued, and encouraged to learn and thrive.

Madelyn
Hi! My name is Madelyn, and I’ve been taking care of kids since I was 12. I grew up babysitting my little sister, and soon her friends. I’ve babysat many newborns from family friends and relatives. In high school I was a swim instructor for kids ages 6 months through 14 years old primarily. Currently, I’m a college student taking a semester off, and working part time as a STEM Instructor. I’ve been with my company for two years now, and love it. I teach elementary aged kids about STEM and engineering using lego materials. My classes contain up to 16 kids, and as few as 7. I can do anything from casual babysitting, to structured (yet fun) educational sessions with activities. I look forward to working with you!
