A little bit about me

Hi families! My passion for supporting working parents started early. Growing up, I saw firsthand how a neighbor struggled to find safe, reliable overnight care while working non-traditional hours. Stepping in to help care for her infant sparked what became a lifelong calling.

Today, with decades of hands-on childcare experience and a background owning and operating a licensed home daycare, my mission is ensuring local families have access to trustworthy, top-tier care around the clock.

Whether you need daytime support, second shift, overnight sleeping care, or rotating schedule coverage, I provide dependable 24/7 care designed to fit non-traditional work lives.

I am a certified Safe Sleep Ambassador thru Cribs for Kids. I have completed basic, advanced, and pediatric first aid courses covering CPR, choking, and unconscious infants, children, and adults.

I offer care in my home or yours, discounts from an hourly rate is available for weekly care.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

I have been caring for children since elementary school. I've worked in daycare/Pre-K centers, and I also owned and operated a licensed in home daycare. When I worked for cooperate daycare centers I worked in the infant room for 3 years. I taught Pre-K for almost 11 years. When I opened my in home child care center my youngest baby I cared for started at 4 weeks old, and I had children up to the age of 12.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

My favorite activity to do with children is teaching them. Whether its traditional educational type teaching or the lyrics to Wheels on the Bus, how to tie their shoe, how to count to ten, how to say dog in Spanish... the subject can be anything. I adore teaching children, seeing their eyes light up when they "get it" is amazing.

I also love sing-a-longs, painting, drawing, coloring, sculpting with clay, any (age appropriate) arts and crafts activity is fun with children.

We love going outside to expend energy too!! We will go outside and play "old school games" that I used to play as a kid, like Mother May I? , Red Light, Green Light, Red Rover, Duck, Duck, Goose, Eye Spy, Thumb War, Heads Up SevenUp, Hide and Seek, and/or Tag. The kids usually love playing those games.

My experience with special needs children...

I have cared for infants that were on heart/breathing monitors in the past.

The most important part about being a nanny...

When the little girl I was caring for finally learned how to swing herself:) She was so proud!!

My name is Brooklyn, and I am currently a nursing student at South College Atlanta working toward my Bachelor of Science in Nursing (BSN). I have always had a genuine love for helping others, especially children, and I enjoy creating a safe, comfortable, and positive environment for the families I work with. As a nursing student, I am dependable, responsible, patient, and attentive to the needs of others, and I understand how important it is for parents to feel confident and comfortable leaving their children in someone else’s care. I am BLS certified and have experience with skills that can be helpful in a nanny position, including cooking, cleaning, and keeping things organized and tidy.
