Booked by 5 families in College Grove, TN

Hello! My name is Gabrielle! I am originally from Illinois but I moved to Tennessee in June 2021. I am offering child care, pet care and household services. I have 5 years of experience with child care, 1 year with senior care and i’ve been taking care of pets for most of my life. I love being a babysitter, I have learned so much from working with children and I am so excited to get back into it. I have experience with all children ages 0-10. My responsibilities usually included prepping meals, doing small crafts and projects, providing transportation to and from school and any after school activities. Helping with after school and before bed routines. I offer household services as well, including cleaning, cooking, laundry, and type of keep up or organization and running small errands. I am happy to work with dogs and cats. I can feed, walk, and play. I can work with big dogs as well. I would just want more information on any other animals you have.

We’ve had the absolute pleasure of having Gabrielle as our nanny for school pick-ups and drop-offs for my 9-year-old daughter. With a week-on/week-off 50/50 custody schedule, flexibility and reliability are incredibly important to our family — and Gabrielle has exceeded every expectation. She is punctual, dependable, and adaptable, seamlessly adjusting to our rotating schedule without ever missing a beat. Beyond her professionalism, what truly stands out is the genuine connection she’s built with my daughter. My child looks forward to seeing her, which speaks volumes about her warmth, kindness, and the trust she creates. Gabrielle goes above and beyond to make transitions smooth, keep communication clear, and ensure my daughter always feels safe and supported. If you’re looking for someone who is not only reliable but truly cares about the kids she helps care for, Gabrielle is exceptional. We are so grateful to have found her and can’t recommend her enough.

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!

Sophia $18 per hour for 1 child

Hi! I am a rising senior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, studying Spanish and International Affairs. I have several years of experience working with children of different ages and truly enjoy helping them learn and have fun. I began by assisting at a daycare for children ages 3-5, where I developed a strong appreciation for their curiosity and energy. I've also cared for neighborhood children ages 5-8 and spent last summer volunteering at a summer camp at the Children's Cancer Center in Tampa, working with kids ages 5-12. I'm an active and outgoing person who grew up playing soccer and competing in gymnastics, so I love planning engaging, energetic activities. I'm also organized, responsible, and have strong time management skills. Overall, I love meeting new kids and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them.
