Hello there! My name is Rebecca but my little buddies know me best as Ms Becca :)! I am 36 years old and have worked professionally with children since I was 19 years old. I absolutely love kids especially the first 5 years of age! I graduated with a degree in Child Development from CSU Sacramento in 2010. I have been a preschool teacher for many years and am currently subbing when needed :)! I have been babysitting since I was 16 and have mostly worked in morning/after school programs, preschools and day cares. I also did an internship in Germany working with small children on an American military base. I am CPR/First aid certified. I take the safety of your child very seriously and will always have that as my main priority. I love clear communication so expect me to give you a heads up if I am running even a couple minutes late. I will also try to give you a heads up in great advance if I need to cancel- I rarely do! Usually only emergencies or sudden illness. I try to take pictures/videos to send to parents while I’m with your child so you know what we’re up to :)! A little about me: I love going to the beach and being outside! I am very family oriented, I love my friends, going to concerts, going on adventures like hiking waterfalls and traveling to all sorts of new places! I love being outside so when I babysit and it’s a nice day- if you are comfortable with it I will take your kiddos on adventures around town to different parks, splash pads, etc! On days when staying inside is a better choice, there are plenty of activities we can think of to do! I’m a huge music fan and love the Beatles the most! When I babysit, I typically like to bring along my instruments for all my little friends to play (ukulele, harmonica, etc). I love to sing songs and do interactive songs like “We are the Dinosaurs” or “slippery fish.” I’m not a huge fan of screens- I don’t even have internet at my house haha! I try to be as engaging as possible- I realize, however, there are those times kiddos just want to watch a movie on a Friday night haha I don’t mind either way! Just know I’m ready to play when I walk in the door :) I love animals so pets don’t bother me at all! I can FaceTime you no problem if you’d like to meet before meeting in person! Feel free to ask me details of rates. I babysit, overnight sit, pet sit, and house sit! Thank you and hope to meet sometime :)!

Actually amazing. Hire her! She brought musical instruments and sang and danced with my kids. They loved her!

Booked by 5 families in La Vergne, 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.

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! 💕

Hi, my name is Karen. I live in Smyrna near Sam Ridley Pkwy. I am seeking to care for a child, senior or animal part time. I do not have children but have taken care of all 3 listed throughout everyday life. Mature, non smoker but I still laugh as much as possible! I am open to errands, pick up/drop off, vet visits. I love all animals (not too sure about snakes though, lol). My German Shepherd, Hope can vouch for me, LOL. She is my 'foster fail'. If any questions, just ask.

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.
