Tess $15 per hour for 1 child

Hi I'm Tess! I am a 24-year-old writer and an artist looking for a part time or flexible job. I grew up in a huge family and have been babysitting and taking care of kids for most of my life. I love kids and have experience with all ages. During Covid when schools were closed, I looked after my 2-year-old nephew while my sister and brother-in-law worked remotely. I helped supplement his learning with crafts, cooking, baking, and outdoor activities. I also helped guide and oversee homeschooling and remote learning for several families I worked for. I love being creative with the kids I care for and having fun with them. I have my own car and am very comfortable cooking, cleaning, and running errands if you need. I am also very comfortable with pets. I grew up with dogs, cats, and horses. I currently have a blind rescue cat named Squid. My parents are both doctors and growing up my siblings and I had the best full-time nanny who became part of our family. My mom told her at the beginning, "Your job is to love my kids when I'm not here." I always thought this was a great way of looking at it. The way I view nannying/babysitting is very simple, I think. I want to help make your life easier. Your kids will be my priority and I will follow whatever rules or structure you want. I'm happy to chat more and answer any questions you may have. Thank you!

Hello! I am Amelia went to Pace University in NYC to obtain my bachelors in Psychology. I'm originally from Nashville, Tennessee where I began nannying, supervising an 18-mo. old for the summer & now I’m back again! I have babysat for about 7 years now & I have the sweetest nieces & nephews (3 under 3) that I love spending time with. I have experience working with kids of all ages, from newborn to 13, and over the last few years, I've mostly worked with infants & toddlers. I love kids of all ages & have a hard time picking a favorite! I also have experience travel nannying with multiple children and am comfortable adapting to new environments. I look forward to meeting you & your family!

Amelia was wonderful and professional. Highly recommend her and will use her again!

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 Madison, TN

My name is Roslyn, and I go by Roz for short. I have over 12 years of experience in childcare and hold a Child Development Associate (CDA) certification in Early Childhood Education. I currently provide nurturing childcare services that include age-appropriate learning activities, creative play, music and arts enrichment, storytelling, homework help, and tutoring support in a safe and encouraging environment. I also teach Spanish to toddlers and pre-K students with O’Neil Language Academy, where I introduce early language skills through songs, movement, and interactive lessons designed to keep young learners engaged. In addition, I offer tutoring services for children who need extra academic support, focusing on building confidence and foundational skills at their own pace. Outside of childcare and education, I am a freelance musician based in Nashville. I play saxophone and sing, and I enjoy incorporating music into learning whenever appropriate. My hobbies include baking, dancing, and learning new languages. I speak a little Spanish and am always eager to continue learning. I am creative, active, and truly enjoy teaching children while learning from them in return.

Booked by 5 families in Madison, TN

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.
