Booked by 15 families in Brentwood, TN

I’m a trained educator. However, I no longer teach in a traditional setting after the pandemic. I love children. I don’t have any. I’m usually available most weekends and after work. Please don’t hesitate to ask me any questions.

Raven was wonderful with our kids. She arrived on time and we immediately felt comfortable leaving her with our toddler and infant. We were in town for a wedding and she came two nights. Would definitely use again!

Booked by 5 families in Brentwood, TN

Hello! My name is Gabrielle! I am originally from Illinois but I moved to Tennessee in June 2021. I am offering child care, pet care and household services. I have 5 years of experience with child care, 1 year with senior care and i’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. I love being a babysitter, I have learned so much from working with children and I am so excited to get back into it. I have experience with all children ages 0-10. My responsibilities usually included prepping meals, doing small crafts and projects, providing transportation to and from school and any after school activities. Helping with after school and before bed routines. I offer household services as well, including cleaning, cooking, laundry, and type of keep up or organization and running small errands. I am happy to work with dogs and cats. I can feed, walk, and play. I can work with big dogs as well. I would just want more information on any other animals you have.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Gabrielle as our nanny for school pick-ups and drop-offs for my 9-year-old daughter. With a week-on/week-off 50/50 custody schedule, flexibility and reliability are incredibly important to our family — and Gabrielle has exceeded every expectation. She is punctual, dependable, and adaptable, seamlessly adjusting to our rotating schedule without ever missing a beat. Beyond her professionalism, what truly stands out is the genuine connection she’s built with my daughter. My child looks forward to seeing her, which speaks volumes about her warmth, kindness, and the trust she creates. Gabrielle goes above and beyond to make transitions smooth, keep communication clear, and ensure my daughter always feels safe and supported. If you’re looking for someone who is not only reliable but truly cares about the kids she helps care for, Gabrielle is exceptional. We are so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough.

I grew up in the south, specifically Northeast Georgia in a small town called Clayton, Ga. I have babysat since I was 13. Furthermore, I am very outdoor driven and I love sports. Additionally, I love watching movies and cooking. In February 2023, I got CPR AED certified for babies, infants, pregnant women, and the elderly. Summer 2023, I babysat in NYC for a couple families. This May, I'm graduated from Sewanee, University of the South with a BS in Psychology! This summer I worked with two families. In August, I was a travel nanny in Martha's Vineyard for a family from Brooklyn.

Ashley was prompt, communicative and very warm with the children. Will hire again.

Hi I’m Clara! A little bit about me-I'm a Nashville native currently working on a bachelor's degree of speech-language pathology at Murray State University. I have six years of babysitting experience, including infants. I am an engaging and hands on sitter who enjoys creating a fun and supportive environment for kids, without relying on screens. I'm dependable, safety-conscious, and communicate well with families about their children's needs, routines, and expectations. Feel free to reach out with any questions!

Clara was fabulous. Boys enjoyed their time with her.

Booked by 2 families in Brentwood, TN

Hi there! I am a very experienced caregiver, and I’m excited to meet you and your family! While I’ve lived in Nashville for a little over 10 years, I’m originally from East Cobb in Marietta, Georgia. During my senior year of high school in Georgia, I began long-term babysitting, thus beginning my career as an educator. Caring for children is without a doubt my passion in life, and I’ve been extremely blessed to serve as an educator in various facets over the past several years! I have served as a professional governess (emphasis on teaching and intellectual advancement) and as a nanny for a myriad of families, tutored Spanish and English to children, worked as an after-school program instructor, and co-taught as a preschool instructor for 3s, 4s and 5s. Prior to my current daytime position teaching middle school Spanish and coaching / managing travel of the upper school Speech Team at a local independent school, I served as a professional governess for a local family for 3 years, followed by teaching Spanish and music at a public middle school in Nashville. In addition to childcare, I am also passionate about neuroscience, genetics, multilingualism, music, and international travel! In 2008, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree with a minor in Spanish from Kennesaw State University. Following graduation, I continued taking collegiate coursework in medical sciences, Child Life and Spanish. During the first year of our worldwide COVID pandemic, I completed my Master of Education in Instructional Practice at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Currently, I am not averse to obtaining another advanced degree as well, will likely be medically-affiliated! In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my pup, domestic & international travel, tutoring children, spending time with community, playing ultimate frisbee, running, singing/playing piano, reading, and engaging in thousand-piece puzzles, NYT word games and general brain teasers. I genuinely care about every child I encounter, & I understand that every experience with children is an opportunity to foster young minds & hearts! Please feel free to reach out if I can be of assistance to your family, happy to help!
