Many Decatur moms looking for nannies and Decatur nannies looking for families have posted messages on my blog in hopes of finding leads. I’ve also received many posts from families in search of daycare centers or other childcare advice. So, I created this space on my blog to hopefully make that process a little easier.
If you are a Decatur family looking for a nanny, nanny share or day care center and you would like to get some advice on where to start feel free to post your message here. Also, if you are a Decatur family that has had a good experience with a day care center or nanny/share search service please do share!
As always, please use discretion when posting personal information. I’d suggest using this forum to share advice rather than a means to connect with specific individuals.
Good luck!

Looking for a nanny share starting March 28. Live just south of Avondale off Covington Highway. Have a 2 month old little boy.
Did you find a share? I have my 6mo old in day care but want to find a nanny share starting in august- my husband is a teacher so we will have him at home from June-august. I live in medlock park. If anyone is interested, please let me know.
Looking for nanny share W-F 8:30 – 5:30. Currently my daughter, almost 2 years, goes to full-time daycare at Oak Grove CDC and although we love it, I don’t work on Mondays or Tuesdays and they don’t have a part-time option.
I am also looking for a family who wants to share a nanny. I will need someone to watch my 9 month old daughter full-time, but would be happy to have other children for any part of the week.
I’m looking for a person who I could call on occasionally to chauffeur my daughter (9 yrs) around in the afternoons to piano lessons, etc. My car could be used. I could make it a weekly thing if interested.
Looking for possible nanny share in Decatur area. I have a 15 mo old little boy. Thx! Tracy

We’re are looking for a PT nanny for our almost 4 year old son starting mid-July. He will be attending International Preschool and we will need someone to pick him up from there M-F at 1:30 and take care of him until 5:30. He still naps 2-3 hours per afternoon so it’s not really a tough gig. We’ll likely need help the last week of July through the end of the year. I appreciate any leads. Thanks!

As our youngest is heading off to school in August, we have sadly had to give up our full time nanny. She has been a wonderful and loving part of our family for 5 years and we’d love to help her find another local family that is in need of outstanding full time childcare. If you’re interested in more info, please email me at kfinnegan@propertyworks.com.
Family seeking nanny share with another family.
We have an amazing nanny we would like to share with another
family. She is available mornings starting in mid August to come
to your home and look after your little one. Our nanny has been
with us full time for the past 2 ! years looking after our little boy.
She has become an integral part of our child’s life. He is now 3 !
and he will be starting a morning program at school in the fall. In
an effort not to lose a member of our family (our nanny) we are
seeking a nanny share with another family that needs morning care
and lives near the City of Decatur. Prior to coming to our home
our nanny was a Montessori teacher’s aid, who worked with
children between the ages of infant and 7 years old. Because of
her experience in education, she is not only a care provider, but
also a teacher. She helped our son learn to become a self-confident
toddler, and prepared him for preschool. She worked with him in a
loving way to communicate clearly with speech, become
independent in the bathroom, dress himself and become self
motivated. Everyday is a learning experience, even if it’s just
going for a walk in the neighborhood and talking about all that
they see. Because she is also an artist, they do many creative and
craft activities throughout the year. She is extremely patient and
loving while creating boundaries. A complete gem! If interested
please call Karen at 404-808-8099 or email me at
theatregoer9@yahoo.com!

ATTN new Decatur moms: Spanish-speaking grandmother (who children call “Abu” for Abuelita) is available for a full-time shared nanny care arrangement in 30030. Abu is currently helping another mom, whose son is 8 months old. Abu has a complete set up in her safe, comfortable Decatur 30030 apartment home convenient to Clairemont, Oakhurst, Winnona Park and Avondale Estates. Abu’s home is equipped with safety features. You provide the pack and play, and she has the rest. Abu has more than 40 years of experience, including as a grandmother of three, and nanny to two local children. Abu prefers working with babies 8 months or younger to be compatible with the other child. Newborns (6 weeks plus) okay. Abu has strong references, knows CPR and can provide tax receipts for childcare spending accounts. This is a great situation for affordable child care where your baby will be in a safe, loving, and caring environment. Please contact her daughter-in-law Renee (renee.valdes@gmail.com or 404-664-7416) for more information, references, etc.

I will be moving to the Decatur area in December with the Dept of Veteran Affairs with my three year old daughter. I have no clue where I will be living because I would like to find a preschool program for her first and then find a place to accomodate her school. The thing is, I am having the WORST time finding an affordable program in the area that is full-time. Many of the programs that I have seen are from 9-1 what do the children do after 1pm? Is this for stay at home moms? Also, does anyone have ANY suggestions on programs or after school programs for her? PLEASE HELP

Hi all. We have daycare set up but are interested in a possible nanny share with our 2 month old son. We don’t have a nanny yet but are curious to know if anyone else is interested in going in together on one. We live in Avondale Estates. We’d be looking at probably M-F, starting between 6-7:30a and ending 4:30-5:30p. We’d be willing to do it at either our house or whoever we are sharing with (or alternate). We do have a dog/cats. We’re looking to start probably the last week of February or beginning of March when he will be 12 weeks old. (I go back to work on 3/4). We are hoping to stay at $900 or less per month for our share.
If you’re interested, please let us know! jhatchermartin@gmail.com
Hello,
This might be a bit early, but I am currently 7 months pregnant, due in early June. We are expiring our options in the Decatur/Doraville/ Emory area for nanny shares as well as daycare. My husband works at Emory, and we live in the Doraville area near Chamblee Tucker. Our timeline is August/September. Any suggestions would be helpful. If it’s a nanny share in Decatur, we would probably want the other person to host.
