"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Amy $17 per hour for 1 child
I have been a household manager for a family for the past 12 years. I worked for the family’s company, but only working from their home taking care of everything from cleaning, taking daily care of the family parrot and dog to running all kinds of errands for their home here and also their lake home in Lynchburg. They recently sold the company which eliminated my full time job. I still work for them but only on as needed basis. I am a 56 year old mother to a 31 year old son who he and his wife gave us the sweetest granddaughter over a year ago. I am also a “Lolly” to my nephew’s new baby, which makes me an adoptive grandparent since his parents are no longer with us. I have a niece who was adopted from Guatemala years ago and she was raised as my second child. Our family is very close and everyone pitches in wherever is needed. I have been married for 35 years and have lived in Franklin since 1983. I adore children and animals, with the exception of snakes. As long as I don’t have to touch or feed them, I can handle it! I would love the opportunity to care for your sweet family whether for childcare or pet care. I decided I was going to retire at my young age, but can only clean my house and meet friends for lunch for so long without it becoming repetitive! I am blessed to be in a position where I can choose what I want to do going forward and my favorite things in the world would be caring for children, loving them as a grandmother would and taking care of animals. My 2 dogs are as much a part of our family as any person could be! I have a reliable SUV and as many references as you need. I look forward to hearing from you and meeting your needs however I can help!

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.
