One patient. Not six.
Private duty nursing is one-to-one. You get a whole shift with one child, which means you can actually assess, actually teach, and actually notice the change before the monitor does.
Careers
Pediatric home health nursing jobs in Atlanta, Georgia
One patient a shift. Real clinical support behind you. Hours that fit your life. If you became a nurse to actually care for someone, private duty pediatrics is the closest the job gets to the reason.
Pediatric-trained RNs and LPNs, one-to-one, across Georgia
Why nurse with us
The reason nurses leave the floor
Six patients, three of them declining, one call bell you cannot get to, and a chart you finish forty minutes after your shift ended. You know the arithmetic. It is not that nurses stop caring. It is that the ratio makes caring impossible.
Private duty pediatrics changes the arithmetic. One child, one shift, one family who is glad you are there. You have time to do the assessment properly, time to teach the parent, and time to catch the small thing at hour two instead of hour nine.
What you get
What is actually different here
Every agency says compassionate and flexible. Here is the specific version.
Clinical support that answers
An RN supervisor who knows your case, visits the home and picks up the phone. You are not the only clinician in the house and then alone with the decision.
Shifts that fit your life
Days, nights, weekends, part-time or full-time. Tell us the hours you can hold consistently and we build around them. Consistency is worth more to us than volume.
Competitive pay, honestly quoted
Pay is set by license, experience and case acuity, and we tell you the rate before you interview. Ventilator and trach-trained nurses earn more, because the skill is worth more.
No commute chaos
One home, one shift. Not seven visits across four counties with charting in the car between them. We match you to cases near where you actually live.
Trained on the real equipment
We competency-check you on the child’s actual ventilator and circuit before your first shift. You walk in prepared, not improvising.
Open roles
Who we are hiring

Parent Caregiver Program
Georgia · In your own home · Training and employment provided
If you are the parent or guardian of a child approved under GAPP, you may qualify to be trained, employed and paid as your child’s caregiver. We handle the credentialing and the employment side.
What we require
The bar, stated plainly
No surprises at week three. This is what we check before your first shift, and what we will ask you about at interview.
- An active, unrestricted Georgia RN or LPN license — or a compact license valid for practice in Georgia
- Current BLS/CPR certification
- A clear criminal background check and required health clearances
- Reliable transportation and the ability to hold a consistent shift schedule
- Pediatric experience preferred — but if you are strong clinically and good with children, we train
- Ventilator, tracheostomy and G-tube experience is valued and paid accordingly, not assumed
- For the Parent Caregiver Program: a child approved for GAPP hours. No license required to apply.
Benefits
What comes with the job
Competitive hourly pay
Set by license, experience and case acuity. Higher bands for ventilator and trach cases. Quoted up front.
Real schedule control
Choose the shifts you can hold. Days, nights, weekends, full-time, part-time or PRN.
24/7 clinical backup
An RN supervisor and an on-call clinician who answer, whatever hour your shift falls on.
Paid competency training
Equipment-specific and pediatric-specific training before you are assigned, not after something goes wrong.
Cases near where you live
We match by geography. One home per shift, no chart-in-the-car between visits.
Work that stays with you
You will know your patient’s baseline, their family and their milestones. That is why nurses stay with us.
Our son came home on a ventilator after eleven months in the hospital. The nurse knew his machine before she walked in the door. He has not been readmitted since.
That nurse was competency-checked on his ventilator before her first shift. That is the standard we hire and train to.
