Kaleea $18 per hour for 1 child

Hello!!My name is Kaleea, and caring for kids is truly my passion! I’ve had the joy of working with children ranging from sweet little infants all the way up to energetic 6th graders. With hands-on experience, I’ve developed a patient, fun-loving, and nurturing style that helps kids feel safe, supported, and excited to learn and grow. I’m currently a full-time college student (online!), majoring in Medical Diagnostics with dreams of becoming a pediatric ultrasound technician one day. I’ve always had a heart for children, and I’m excited to build a career where I can continue working closely with them in both health and everyday care. Whether we’re singing silly songs, tackling homework, or building the best pillow fort ever, I love creating a warm and positive environment where every child can thrive. I’m responsible, and always bring good energy, creativity, and care to every family I work with. Looking forward to meeting you and your little ones!

Hi! My name is Averi and I’m a Junior Tourism and Hospitality Management major at Middle Tennessee State University. I am offering child care and pet care.

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.

Booked by 8 families in Murfreesboro, TN

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! 💕

“Yessidaly arrived on time. She was very great with our 1 year old. She made sure he was entertained and had a snack. She sent me pics of him and made sure she me posted on what he was doing. I would definitely hire her again. ”
