Galyam
Hi! I’m Galyam, a babysitter with years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for children. I’ve spent the past 4 years working at Kids After Hours with kindergarten through 5th graders, and before that, I was a child swimming teacher. I’ve also been around kids my entire life since my mom has owned an in-home daycare since I was 10. I’m a certified school teacher and First Aid/CPR certified through Kids After Hours, and I’m currently working toward my medication administration certification. I’m 19 turning 20 on February 3rd and I absolutely love kids providing safe attentive and engaging care is something I truly enjoy.

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.
