Hi! I'm Emma, a 20-year-old nursing student, planning to be a pediatric oncology nurse, and I have a strong passion for working with kids and helping others. I currently work as a Patient Care Technician on a pediatric hospital unit, where I care for children of all ages with compassion and attention to safety. Before that, I worked as a tumbling instructor at the Decatur Indoor Sports Center, teaching children from 10 months to 13 years old—so I’m no stranger to high energy and big imaginations! I’m BLS/CPR certified. While I am new to professional babysitting, I have experience babysitting my younger cousins (ages 4, 7, and 9), as well as pet sitting for families with dogs, cats, and even fish, so I am always open to watching over fur babies as well! A big priority of mine is to always make sure kids feel safe, engaged, and heard. Whether it’s playtime, bedtime routines, or just being a calming presence, I’m here to help make your day a little easier. Over summer I have pretty flexible availability, and during the school year I am available most days after 2:30 pm, and most weekends! I'd love to meet your family and see how I can support your needs! Please message me with any questions!

My name is Debbie. I am an Army veteran, mother of four, animal lover, nature lover, and stay at home mother. I've studied psychology for the past three years and have several courses such Early Childhood Cognition, and Development, as well as my own experiences with a large family of five sisters, all whom have children.

Hi! My name is Shannon, but most people call me "Shay", and I bring a lifelong love of working with children into every caregiving role I take on. My journey began at age 12, babysitting for my neighbors’ kids, and has since grown into a deep and diverse career that includes teaching, nannying, and—most importantly—being a mother to two incredible children of my own. With a background in Musical Theatre (B.F.A. from The New School), dance, education, meditation, and yoga, I aim to strike a balance between playful creativity and calm presence. I’m certified in CPR/AED, trauma-informed care, and yoga and meditation, and I’m in the process of renewing my First Aid certification. These tools help me create a safe, nurturing, and grounded environment for the children I care for. I believe in meeting children where they are, listening deeply, and encouraging their natural curiosity about the world. Whether that means exploring outside, diving into imaginative play, or finding calm through a breathing exercise, I adapt my care to the unique needs and energy of each child. I'm happy to pitch in with household chores, and I’m also a pet lover, and a licensed driver. I'm currently looking for part-time opportunities so I can balance caregiving with quality time with my own children. If you're seeking someone who brings both heart and skill to your family, I’d love to connect!

I have been doing in home care for several years. I have experience with children of all ages as well as experience with children with special needs. I have 3 children of my own, a 1 yr old and 2 special needs children aged 7 and 8. I have also cared for other children who have had varying degrees of special needs. I have learned to be very patient and caring as well as how to adjust to each child’s required needs and routines. I can assist with potty training and certain levels of homework. I am currently working on getting my cpr certification and I am also enrolled in classes to become an elementary school teacher.
