I am a Nanny looking for a part time position 2-3 days a week from 9-2pm (can be flexible on time) rate is $25/hour looking to start ASAP. I am open to Senior care and pet care as well. I have a lifetime treasury of lived in experience when it comes to caretaking. I grew up homeschooled and helped raise and educate my 5 younger siblings. I grew up caretaking for my grandparents who lived with my family for 5 years until they passed. I am a recently single primary parent to a 6 & 8 year old determined to find work to establish financial independence. I believe in regulating, nurturing, and teaching children through play, music, creating art, and time spent in nature. I feel strongly about minimizing screen time and prioritize creating a safe and caring environment for children to express emotions. I have a huge heart and parent/nanny with a loving, empathetic approach. I believe that as a caretaker it is my responsibility to lead by creating boundaries, consistency, and structure in a way that allows the child to maintain a sense of autonomy and express individuality. I prioritize my mental, spiritual, physical health, and inner child healing in order to approach caregiving with a communicative, grounded, loving, and compassionate mindset. I have a holistic approach to caregiving and am very skilled in preparing nourishing meals made primarily with whole foods and minimal processed ingredients. I am clean, organized, active, open minded, creative, communicative, can drive places, and run errands. Let’s connect!!!

Hi! My name is Amy and I live in Nashville. I have been a nanny and childcare provider for over ten years. I love working with children and watching them grow and excel.

We were so fortunate to have Amy care for our two-year-old. She is patient, attentive, and incredibly nurturing, and she quickly built a trusting, loving bond with our child. She has a wonderful understanding of toddlers and consistently engaged our child with age-appropriate play, reading, and daily routines that felt both structured and fun. Her communication was clear and reliable, and we always felt confident that our child was safe, happy, and genuinely cared for. Any family would be lucky to have her, and we recommend her wholeheartedly
