Sheri was absolutely amazing. We recently traveled to CT for a family wedding weekend and needed someone to watch our two small children during and after the rehearsal dinner and then on and off during the wedding day. After messaging a bit on the SitterCity app, she took the initiative to call me a week and a half before the wedding to discuss my needs for the weekend and learn more about the kids. Her kind and responsible manner was immediately evident on the phone. She was prompt (even early) both days and came prepared with loads of toys and activities for the kids. The kids immediately warmed up to her and seemed to enjoy the time they spent with her. Sheri even helped out during the wedding ceremony - when my son started to fuss, she just scooped him up and took him for a walk. Sheri just seemed to know how to help. My husband and I didn’t worry for a minute while our kids were in her care. I wish I could find someone just like her in my hometown of ATL! Definitely hire her, you won’t regret it.

Finding someone you trust to care for your children is one of the most important decisions a parent can make. My goal is to provide a safe, dependable, and nurturing environment where children feel supported, engaged, and excited to learn and have fun. I earned my Bachelor’s degree in Childhood and Special Education and am currently pursuing my Master’s degree in TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages). I currently work as a Teaching Assistant in a self-contained special education classroom in the White Plains City School District, where I support students with a wide range of learning, communication, and behavioral needs. Before working in the school setting, I spent several summers at my local day camp, where I worked my way up from counselor to Behavior Director. In that role, I supported campers with behavioral needs, collaborated with staff and families, helped implement behavior strategies, and worked to ensure every child had a safe, positive, and successful camp experience. In addition to my work in education, I have babysat for numerous families with children of all ages. Whether we’re playing outside, doing crafts, reading stories, helping with homework, or following bedtime routines, I strive to create a fun, engaging, and structured environment where children feel safe, supported, and cared for. I understand that every child is unique, and I take the time to learn each child’s personality, interests, and routines. My goal is to build trusting relationships with both children and parents by being patient, dependable, and attentive while creating meaningful experiences for the children in my care. As both an educator and caregiver, I understand the trust parents place in someone caring for their children. I take that responsibility seriously and would be honored to provide your family with reliable, compassionate, and high-quality care.

Hey everyone! 👋🏼 I’ve been babysitting/nannying since my freshman year of high school, and I genuinely love spending time with kids! I’m here to make your life a little easier and provide a safe, fun, and caring environment for your little ones. I’m happy to help with more than just childcare, including light cleaning, laundry, and homework help. I have experience caring for children ranging from 8 months to 13 years old. I would love to work for someone who respects me, how I will respect them. I have a plethora of references as well.

Hi! My name is Gabrielle; Gabbie for short. I am a Mother of a beautifully perfect almost 2 year old little boy so you can bet your bottom dollar that i am one of those sitters, nanny's, etc. that not only will care with the motherly type of care but also will treat any other child/baby no other way then how i myself would want someone to be with my baby boy. I have experience watching neighbors/ friends/ and family friends children of all ages in the past, as well as my past experience working at a daycare in a toddler aged classroom as an assistant teacher. Ive always had a weak spot when it comes to the infants but would be just as happy and excited to work with a child that's a little bit older in age! i have also had training in CPR and First Aid and my work history over the last few years has been in the medical field as a CNA (certified nurses assistant) & PCA (personal care assistant). I am seeking for full time but would just as openly take something part time. I hope to speak with my fellow moms/dads about becoming a part of your children's daily schedules! Thank you for taking time to stop and read a little bit about me!!

Working with children is a passion… and I believe it would allow me to continue doing what I do best:.

I have earn employee of the month on several occasions working at the daycare as well… : i am a very calm and patient individual, I find children respond best to calm, direct instructions.

I am a warm, dependable, and highly experienced childcare professional with over 30 years of experience working with children from early childhood through the teenage years. My background includes many years as a Montessori educator, as well as hands-on experience as a nanny and family assistant, supporting both children and the overall flow of a busy household. Throughout my career, I have cared for children in classrooms, private homes, and small group settings, helping manage routines, homework, transportation, creative activities, and emotional support. I especially enjoy creating calm, structured environments where children feel safe, understood, and encouraged to grow in confidence and independence. I hold Montessori certifications in both Primary (ages 3–6) and Infant/Toddler education, along with CPR and First Aid certification and a 40-Hour Director Certification in Georgia. I also have experience supporting neurodivergent children, including those with ADHD and on the autism spectrum, with a patient, individualized, and respectful approach.
