Booked by 1 family in Old Hickory, TN

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.

Kelley was great with our 3 boys! Would love to hire her again.

Ameerah $17 per hour for 1 child

Hello parents! I believe I have been gifted with the ability to care for young minds. It started when I picked up a part time job working at the Brentwood family YMCA as a Y-play associate. Hanging out with them, caring for them, and being their caregiver gave my soul a boost each time I came to work. It the inspired me to become a full time preschool teacher and I’ve since then only gotten more invested in the role of working with children. Each time I see one even outside of work I’ve acknowledged children feel safe, seen, and heard in my presence. I’m very energetic, creative, and confident in my abilities. I like to say “I speak their language” because when it’s time to clean up or settle down I have a way of getting them to agree with me lol. I’d love to talk more with you about it!

Hello, My name is Samara and I am a 20 year old high school graduate. I provide child, pet care, and home care. I have been watching kids for 10 years now and plan on continuing as a birth and postpartum doula in the near future. My care experience ranges from newborns to 12 year old children in school.

"We absolutely LOVE Isa — our family was so fortunate to have found her through UrbanSitter. I'm a first-time mom, and it took me a long time to find a full-time nanny I could trust to care for our sweet infant boy. Our boy connected with her immediately, and we couldn't have asked for anyone else to care for him. Her calming presence was also perfect for parents like us who work from home. We feel so lucky UrbanSitter helped us find someone who has truly become a part of our family."

"I was so stressed about finding a part-time nanny for my 14-month-old son, who has moderate separation anxiety and hadn't been left with anyone but family before, but we were both immediately at ease in Buhay's presence. Her empathy and commitment to understanding child development are apparent in every interaction I've witnessed between her and my toddler. I feel very lucky to have found her."

"Erna watched our now 5 year old daughter and 3 year old son for a few years. She is punctual, responsible, honest, and playful. What we appreciated most was that she was thoughtful in ensuring that we had a little break; for example, when the kids were clingy, she was able to divert their attention with games or songs or walks to the park. We felt very comfortable leaving our kids with Erna because of her caring nature and experience that spans a decade (including being a live-in nanny)."
