Hi there! I am a very experienced caregiver, and I’m excited to meet you and your family! While I’ve lived in Nashville for a little over 10 years, I’m originally from East Cobb in Marietta, Georgia. During my senior year of high school in Georgia, I began long-term babysitting, thus beginning my career as an educator. Caring for children is without a doubt my passion in life, and I’ve been extremely blessed to serve as an educator in various facets over the past several years! I have served as a professional governess (emphasis on teaching and intellectual advancement) and as a nanny for a myriad of families, tutored Spanish and English to children, worked as an after-school program instructor, and co-taught as a preschool instructor for 3s, 4s and 5s. Prior to my current daytime position teaching middle school Spanish and coaching / managing travel of the upper school Speech Team at a local independent school, I served as a professional governess for a local family for 3 years, followed by teaching Spanish and music at a public middle school in Nashville. In addition to childcare, I am also passionate about neuroscience, genetics, multilingualism, music, and international travel! In 2008, I obtained a Bachelor of Science in Psychology degree with a minor in Spanish from Kennesaw State University. Following graduation, I continued taking collegiate coursework in medical sciences, Child Life and Spanish. During the first year of our worldwide COVID pandemic, I completed my Master of Education in Instructional Practice at Lipscomb University in Nashville. Currently, I am not averse to obtaining another advanced degree as well, will likely be medically-affiliated! In my spare time, I enjoy hanging out with my pup, domestic & international travel, tutoring children, spending time with community, playing ultimate frisbee, running, singing/playing piano, reading, and engaging in thousand-piece puzzles, NYT word games and general brain teasers. I genuinely care about every child I encounter, & I understand that every experience with children is an opportunity to foster young minds & hearts! Please feel free to reach out if I can be of assistance to your family, happy to help!

I am a 53 year old woman who loves to work with children, seniors and pets. When my children were young, I owned a daycare in my home, for infants, up to school age children. I have raised 2 children of my own, who are both wonderful adults now. For the last 7 months I have been a live in caregiver for an 83 year old, disabled woman. I truly enjoyed caring for this lady, but have moved and looking to watch children again. I have a heart for helping others. In my spare time, I house sit for animals when the pet owners go away, as well as provide dog walking services. I love animals too and would be happy to help in whatever way needed.

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”
