Find a last-minute babysitter in Madison, TN

Hi! My name is Hendley, and I am currently looking for opportunities in babysitting, house sitting, and dog sitting! I am a bubbly, creative, imaginative, hardworking, and a dependable person who genuinely loves helping others and making a positive difference in people’s lives. Growing up in a big family with three younger siblings has played a huge role in shaping who I am today and has given me a special appreciation for the importance of family, patience, responsibility, and kindness. I began babysitting when I was just 13 years old, around the time my youngest sister was born, and I have loved caring for children ever since. Being an older sister has given me years of hands-on experience with children of different ages, personalities, and needs. From helping with everyday routines and keeping younger siblings entertained to learning how to be patient, understanding, and responsible, I have gained valuable skills that I carry with me into every childcare opportunity. I understand that every child is different, and I believe that creating a safe, positive, and welcoming environment is one of the most important parts of being a great babysitter.I absolutely love fun and imaginative activities that keep kids engaged, whether that means doing arts and crafts, painting, coloring, making homemade projects, playing games, or spending time outdoors. I enjoy encouraging children to use their imaginations, try new things, and have fun while also making sure they feel comfortable, cared for, and supported. Along with my personal babysitting experience, I have also had the opportunity to work at a preschool for three consecutive years. This experience has taught me so much about working with young children in a structured environment, communicating with them effectively, helping with activities, and understanding the importance of consistency, encouragement, and patience. Working at a preschool has strengthened my passion for childcare and has helped me become more confident, attentive, and adaptable when caring for children. In addition to my preschool experience, I also volunteer in the childcare ministry at my church, where I have continued to develop my skills and build meaningful connections with children and families. Along with babysitting, I'm also happy to help with any household duties you might need and love working with dogs! Thank you so much for considering me!💞

Hello! I am a nature-based early childhood educator. I recently moved to Nashville from California, where I worked as a lead teacher at Northeast Los Angeles Forest School for three years. I am originally from Wisconsin and have a deep love for the outdoors and the growing movement in education towards incorporating more opportunities for free play in nature. My work is informed and inspired by Reggio-Emilia and Montessori pedagogy, David Sobel, and Piaget. I am passionate about supporting children as they explore the wide world, and I enjoy finding engaging ways to facilitate happy, healthy development. I am a strong believer in the benefits of emergent curriculum and learning through play, and I have experience developing curriculum to support this. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and I am currently working on an MS in psychology from Southern New Hampshire University with a speciality in child and adolescent development. During my senior year of college, I had an internship working at a respite center for children ages 6 and under with special needs, and had the opportunity to develop and implement individualized therapy programs for kids. Prior to this, I spent four years caring for children as young as six weeks and as old as twelve at a child care center in my home town in Wisconsin. It was there that I became a registered lead teacher with the Dept. of Children and Families. I have since taught at two preschools in Los Angeles, taken several continuing education courses and certifications, and conducted private care sessions for individuals and groups. I am Wilderness CPR certified, and I also have a valid license and experience transporting children. Currently, I am looking for part time work while I focus more intensely on my graduate degree. I am eager to finish the program both because I am an enthusiastic learner and so that I can move on to my next goal of starting my own forest school program here in Nashville. I am open to single family care or care-shares with friends, and I can offer academic support as well as creative ideas for engaging and developmentally beneficial activities.

From adopted senior dogs to new born puppies, animals have been a large part of my everyday life, forming my continues care and love for their wellbeing. Currently, I have a senior dog named Albert who needs more care and attention for his needs. I also have a 5 year old dog named Minus who is very active and loves to learn and show us his new tricks. Both of them like to play, nap, and sun bathe, while I also meet and support their needs. My dogs have always been my best friends and I want to become your pets as well! I’ve been a pet sitter on Rover for a little over two and a half years, and I’ve loved every second of it. I am fully background-checked and have completed more than 35 bookings, including eight amazing pets that I see on a regular basis. These long-term relationships mean so much to me as they’ve helped me grow as a sitter and understand how to create a comfortable, consistent routine for every animal I care for. It is very important to me to know all of your pets favorites and fears. I want to create a safe and personal experience with your fur baby, while also respecting their boundaries. Let me know during our meet and greet if your pet has separation anxiety, food aggression, particular needs, etc. Also tell me their favorite toy, treats, activities to do, etc. I want for theirs, mine, and your experience to be wonderful!
