Hello, My name is Kierra Shotwell. I have 9+ years of experience working with children of all ages.I hold a Bachelors of Science in Psychology and I recently graduated with my Masters in School Counseling. I love being a sitter because, I get to bond with children and relive some of my childhood memories. I become more creative and resourceful when I baby sit children. Children are so funny and affectionate and it’s the best way to spend the day. I have a very flexible schedule and I do baby sit currently. I enjoy being able to learn valuable skills from children and make a difference in their lives. I am CPR/First-Aid Certified.

KIERRA was wonderful with our two kids. She was right on time and checked in whenever she had a question. Our kids had a great time with her. We would definitely ask her to babysit again.

Kierra was excellent with our two boys. Kierra helped us while we were visiting Atlanta for the weekend for a wedding and watched our kids for a large 12 hour stretch. She was very proactive with them, taking them to the park and playground and actively engaging with them. She gave us constant updates and pictures as well. We felt very confident that our kids were in good hands with Kierra and would highly recommend her.

Ms. Kierra is everything we were looking for. I was so nervous to go through a service like this, but she's amazing. My kids love her, she's responsible and on time, and I'm gradually beginning to feel better about our occasional outings.

As first time working parents in a new state away from family, you can imagine how nervous we were when our work schedules overlapped and we need to find a sitter to cover us for a few hours. Thankfully we found Kierra who was not only willing to work with our crazy early schedule, but also take care of our baby & handle our super energetic dog. It was our first time leaving our baby with a sitter, and she was thorough and so sweet. Our baby was in great hands and she updated us regularly keeping my nerves at bay. We can’t wait to have her help us out again.

Kierra helped us out in between nannies. She worked a total of 5 days over the course of two weeks. Overall, she is good with kids. She did prep and feed lunch/snacks as well as play. A few hiccups such as diaper change delays. Our son had a noticeably extra full diaper on multiple occasions. The last day asked to help out, and within an hour of being with our son, my husband walked around the corner, and he saw her scrolling on social media. He didn't say anything, but once she noticed he was near her, she put it away. She wasn't as good about tidying up before she left for the day. Her rate is based on her experience. I would say the rate doesn't match what's given in return, but our son is alive and well.

Kierra has been a great help with our kids when my husband and I have had to work late. We have 3 children, a 9 yo boy and 2 girls ages 2 and 7. She basically did our evening routine of serving dinner, doing homework, baths, and putting the kids to bed better than we did! Furthermore, she is very friendly and caring with a great attitude. She is trustworthy and dependable and we feel very lucky to have found her on this site. I would highly recommend her.

Kierra sat for our 2-year-old and was great to work with! She was very communicative and professional beforehand as we arranged everything. She also took the time to ask lots of great questions to make sure she knew our schedule, where everything was, etc. so she could be ready for anything. She was communicative while she was taking care of our son, sending some updates so we could feel at ease. We would absolutely work with Kierra again!

Kierra is an excellent sitter! She is always on time, very patient with our feisty 2 year old, and she's a great communicator. She handles our daughter's schedule and potty-training needs with ease. She's reliable, trustworthy and fun!

We started working with Kierra when our son was just 8 month old and it’s been an absolute pleasure. We trust her 100%, she’s reliable, kind, flexible, always available when we need someone to watch our son (she has been able to help last minute several times) and we feel our son is safe when she takes care of him. I would definitely recommend Kierra!

Kierra is wonderful! She is very prompt and she made time with our 2 year old fun and engaging. She's great at sticking to a schedule and even patiently helped us work through the "potty training" stage that we were in.

Kierra has helped watch my 1 year old daughter on several occasions. She is always on time, very reliable and very responsive. She has been able to help us in a few circumstances with short notice as well. I would highly recommend Kierra for any parents needing care for their child.

Kierra has been watching my one-year-old twice a week for a few months, and she is definitely a treasure. One day my mother was home with her and and she was raving about all the considerate things Kierra did for our child. She seems to really know my son, what he likes and dislikes. She make sure he eats well, and naps well. Several times I’ve come home to a dance party! Oh, and she’s good with our crazy dog, too. He thinks she’s there to babysit him!
