Hi! I’m Desiree, everyone calls me Desi! I’m currently a Stay at home mom to a 1 year old girl. I am offering Childcare, Pet care and Household services. I started my nannying and babysitter career because i was always told i wasn’t able to have kids. So working with kids became a big part of me. I worked as a Montessori teacher and still currently sub there when needed. I have tons of references from families who i have worked for and still currently do. Most my families i have been with for years but im currently branching out because most my kids are in school and afterschool programs but i still help where i can if needed. I have tons of experience pet sitting and house sitting. I grew up with a bunch of animals and i adore them big or small I’m comfortable with them all. Im here for you and your family even if that includes taking the child / animal to the park, activities, meeting with friends or on a walk . The kids and animals i keep are safe and always become my own. I do have a 1 year old that my grandmother keeps. So she will be with her most of the time but my ideal family is if my daughter need to come with me because my grandmother has something to do..your okay with her coming. Thank you so much for taking the time in reading my bio. If you have anymore questions please reach out!
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”
Hi! I'm Katie Martin. I'm 31 years old and am currently pursuing my bachelor's degree in Psychology at Trevecca. I am offering child care, senior care, household chore assistance, errand assistance, and elementary and middle school level tutoring. I currently work as a Special Education job coach (similar to teacher's aid) for young adults with disabilities. I have worked in education (both special education and general education) for 11 years at the middle school, high school and young adult levels. I have a passion for kids, education, and persons with disabilities alike. I also have a year's experience working for a senior care company in Bowling Green, KY and love working with senior adults.

"We were incredibly grateful that Maya was able to help us out with a last-minute childcare emergency. She matched our 9-year-old's energy with arts & crafts, some quiet reading, and a walk around the neighborhood. We'd have Maya back in a heartbeat!"
Hillary S., parent
"We used Tania for a last minute emergency. She responded very quickly. My daughter seemed to enjoy herself. My son napped most of the time. I enjoyed how she kept me updated by text."
