"Amina came and helped us out when our babysitter canceled last minute. She was great with our kids. Even our 11 month old son who has stranger anxiety warmed up to her."

Venice $20 per hour for 1 child
I have a BS in Communications but have worked for Rover.com, Papa.com and Care.com for several years. Currently, I have worked as a caregiver for over a year.
Rachel $25 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Rachel, I’m a Commercial Music graduate from Belmont University. I’m a singer and performer, but I also teach voice to children from a range of 4-22 years old at a studio in Franklin. I love working with children and am looking for a little more variety to my schedule while still doing what I do best! I’ve babysat all throughout high school and college for church peers and my own adorable niece and nephew. I can cook, I am very passionate about keeping a clean space, and I drive a Honda CR-V if needed!
Tiffany $20 per hour for 1 child
Hi! My name is Tiffany and I'm currently a sophomore at Belmont University. I am offering childcare and household services! My love for being a caretaker has been prevalent since I was a little girl. As my extended family grew. I found myself always playing with the younger kids and letting my aunt or uncle rest for a bit because to me, it was never an obligation, it was something I enjoyed doing and it gave them time to relax. Once I got to a responsible age, I started babysitting and absolutely loved it. To me there is no better job. I especially love working with toddlers 2-5. My responsibilities have included driving the children to and from school, distributing meals for them while keeping their dietary needs in mind, leading and planning indoor and outdoor activities that include art projects, holiday crafts, storytelling, and nature walks. My hobbies include playing guitar and I've been competing in dance competitions for most of my life so Id have no problem giving children dance lessons or guitar lessons. As a house assistant I can cook thanks to my mother who is a chef and taught me most of what I know. I can run errands, clean, and provide you with any sort of advice, feedback, or other assistance needs if wanted. Also note: I am totally comfortable with taking care of any pets as well!
