Hendley $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi! My name is Hendley, and I am currently looking for opportunities in babysitting, house sitting, and dog sitting! I am a bubbly, creative, imaginative, hardworking, and a dependable person who genuinely loves helping others and making a positive difference in people’s lives. Growing up in a big family with three younger siblings has played a huge role in shaping who I am today and has given me a special appreciation for the importance of family, patience, responsibility, and kindness. I began babysitting when I was just 13 years old, around the time my youngest sister was born, and I have loved caring for children ever since. Being an older sister has given me years of hands-on experience with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. From helping with everyday routines and keeping younger siblings entertained to learning how to be patient, understanding, and responsible, I have gained valuable skills that I carry with me into every childcare opportunity. I understand that every child is different, and I believe that creating a safe, positive, and welcoming environment is one of the most important parts of being a great babysitter.I absolutely love fun and imaginative activities that keep kids engaged, whether that means doing arts and crafts, painting, coloring, making homemade projects, playing games, or spending time outdoors. I enjoy encouraging children to use their imaginations, try new things, and have fun while also making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and supported. Along with my personal babysitting experience, I have also had the opportunity to work at a preschool for three consecutive years. This experience has taught me so much about working with young children in a structured environment, communicating with them effectively, helping with activities, and understanding the importance of consistency, encouragement, and patience. Working at a preschool has strengthened my passion for childcare and has helped me become more confident, attentive, and adaptable when caring for children. In addition to my preschool experience, I also volunteer in the childcare ministry at my church, where I have continued to develop my skills and build meaningful connections with children and families. Along with babysitting, I'm also happy to help with any household duties you might need and love working with dogs! Thank you so much for considering me!💞

From adopted senior dogs to new born puppies, animals have been a large part of my everyday life, forming my continues care and love for their wellbeing. Currently, I have a senior dog named Albert who needs more care and attention for his needs. I also have a 5 year old dog named Minus who is very active and loves to learn and show us his new tricks. Both of them like to play, nap, and sun bathe, while I also meet and support their needs. My dogs have always been my best friends and I want to become your pets as well! I’ve been a pet sitter on Rover for a little over two and a half years, and I’ve loved every second of it. I am fully background-checked and have completed more than 35 bookings, including eight amazing pets that I see on a regular basis. These long-term relationships mean so much to me as they’ve helped me grow as a sitter and understand how to create a comfortable, consistent routine for every animal I care for. It is very important to me to know all of your pets favorites and fears. I want to create a safe and personal experience with your fur baby, while also respecting their boundaries. Let me know during our meet and greet if your pet has separation anxiety, food aggression, particular needs, etc. Also tell me their favorite toy, treats, activities to do, etc. I want for theirs, mine, and your experience to be wonderful!

Arielle 1 review
$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 Rachel, I’m a Commercial Music graduate from Belmont University. I’m a singer and performer, but I also teach voice to children from a range of 4-22 years old at a studio in Franklin. I love working with children and am looking for a little more variety to my schedule while still doing what I do best!
