Jennifer $20 per hour for 1 child

## About Me Hi! I'm Jennifer, and I'd love the opportunity to care for your little ones. I've been babysitting and caring for children for over 10 years, from infants to older kids, including children with special needs. Every child is unique, and I truly enjoy getting to know their personalities, encouraging their creativity, and making them feel safe, loved, and supported. Most recently, I've been helping my boyfriend's sister care for her adorable twin babies, both under 10 months old. From bottles and diaper changes to naps, playtime, and keeping two little ones on schedule, I've loved every minute of it! I've called Nashville home for more than 10 years, and my family is also local, so I'm very rooted in the community and available to build long-term relationships with families if that's something you're looking for. I believe some of the best moments happen in the little things—reading bedtime stories, building blanket forts, dancing in the living room, going on walks, playing outside, doing crafts, or simply making a child laugh. My goal is always to create a fun, safe, and nurturing environment where children can be themselves and parents can feel completely at ease. Whether you need an occasional date-night sitter, regular childcare, help with infants, or experience caring for children with special needs, I'd be honored to help. I hope we have the chance to connect—I look forward to meeting your family!

Booked by 3 families in Dickson, TN

Hello! I am a new-graduate physician assistant looking for a fun position as a nanny before I start working full time as a PA. I have been babysitting and working with children in different settings, both paid and unpaid, since I was in middle school. Most recently, I nannied for several families on a part-time basis from 2[removed]. I absolutely love working with children and getting to encourage the development of their growing minds! I think my personal emphasis on kindness and hard work are excellent traits for children to look up to and eventually implement into their own lives. This will make them adults who greatly impact society in the future, and I think that is one of the most rewarding aspects of childcare! With my education and prior experience as an EMT, I am extremely comfortable with caring for people with medical conditions and am extensively trained in basic and advanced life support for both children and adults. Therefore, I would be a reliable individual in any emergency situation. Also, I have had some brief experiences with pet sitting and have grown up taking care of dogs of my own. Currently, I have a 1 year old lab-pit bull mix who loves walks and snuggles!

I am an owner of a Preschool that has been in business for 17 years. Malia worked for me as a teacher and I can vouch that she is amazing with children! She is patient, kind and has tons of energy! She has fun with kids and is also very attentive to their needs. I recommend her to anyone who is looking for reliable and quality child care. You and your kiddos will love her!

Hi families! My name is Yessidaly, but I go by Yessy. I’m a devoted Christian from Nashville and I currently nanny a precious 9 month old baby boy! I’ve taught at a daycare to the sweetest class of 2-year-olds! I also serve in the kids’ ministry at my church and have been babysitting for friends and family for a little over 2.5 years. Kids will always have a special place in my heart. I would describe myself as nurturing, patient, and reliable, with experience caring for children of all ages. I love doing crafts, singing songs, and using music to create fun and engaging moments. I’m also comfortable with pets and happy to help with light housework like tidying or dishes. As well as adjusting to an ongoing routine if needed. My goal is always to create a safe, joyful environment where children feel loved, cared for, and encouraged to grow. Additional details about me: • Bilingual in English & Spanish 🇺🇸🇲🇽 • CPR trained 🩺 • Experience in both classroom and home settings I’d love the opportunity to connect with families who are looking for someone trustworthy, energetic, and passionate about caring for kids! 💕
