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! 💕
I am a 53 year old woman who loves to work with children, seniors and pets. When my children were young, I owned a daycare in my home, for infants, up to school age children. I have raised 2 children of my own, who are both wonderful adults now. For the last 7 months I have been a live in caregiver for an 83 year old, disabled woman. I truly enjoyed caring for this lady, but have moved and looking to watch children again. I have a heart for helping others. In my spare time, I house sit for animals when the pet owners go away, as well as provide dog walking services. I love animals too and would be happy to help in whatever way needed.

Hello! I’m Kaitlyn and I will be a Junior at Miami University! I have been babysitting and working at a nursery for over 4 years! I’ve loved every second of it! I’m CPR and First-Aid certified by the Red Cross! Can’t wait to meet you!
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.
“Josie’s communication prior to our first booking was great. On the day of, she was on time, courteous, thoughtful, and a natural with our baby boy.”
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.
