$25 per hour for 1 child
Hi, I’m Ari and would love to be of assistance to your family! I have 9+ years of experience in Early Childhood Education as an EHS Director/Teacher. I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am a Teacher for VUMC and currently have evening availability during the week with open availability on the weekends. We are the architects of our little one’s brains and children really do learn through play. I enjoy watching the growth and development that happens through positive interactions/experiences when I am implementing age appropriate activities for children. Please, feel free to reach out with any other questions.
“Ari has been an incredible influence on our son’s early development. She was instrumental in helping him potty train at age 2, showing so much patience, encouragement, and care throughout the process. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely loves the children she cares for—you can see it in the special relationship she’s built with him. We trust her wholeheartedly and are so grateful for her. I can’t recommend her enough.”

Hi- My name is Brooke and I am an HR Specialist at a global company. I am offering childcare service for extra income. I have experience sitting for kids since I was 14 years old, who were mainly in the elementary to middle school age range, however I am fine with watching toddlers as well. I used to assist my aunt with toddlers at her in-home daycare. My responsibilities have been summer camp drop off and pick up, crafts, zoo outings, and etc. I have a corgi and a cat, so I am familiar with pets.

Booked by 1 family in Smyrna, TN
Hi! My name is Christina and I’m a MBA student at Middle Tennessee State University, studying data science. I also have experience working with children. I used to babysit through SittingMadeSimple and helped out a family with an autistic child and loved watching videos and playing outdoors with him. I also volunteered at the Discovery Center and would help them with arts and craft and teach them about important figures in history. Before that, I looked after my younger brothers by taking them to and from school activities and making sure they were eating healthy meals. I enjoy working with children and want to help families in any way I can. I hope to connect with you soon!
“Christina was fantastic with our baby girl—engaged, cheerful, and genuinely helpful!”
Keren $18 per hour for 1 child
Hi- My name is Keren but I go by Keke and I’m a student at Lipscomb University. I’m originally from DR Congo in Africa but I have been here in Nashville for 5 years now. I speak 4 languages and French being my first language. I always mentioned that because some family may want me to teach their kids French and I would love to do so. Coming from a large family, I will always babysit since I was a young girl, maybe 9 if I can recall. I have had experience since that age and I still continue to show my love for kids until today. I have been watching newborns, infants, toddlers, and kids. I also serve in the kids department at my church. My responsibility has included tutoring French since it’s my first language, helping with homework, cooking, painting, crafts and I can accommodate to any needs you want. Besides that I can also cook, clean, run errands, organize your house, meal prep, laundry, Iron, and much more. I grew up with animals and I love animals, but would always ask about your animal behavior so I know what I’m dealing with. Besides that I’m happy to put a smile on your face.
