I am a fun, caring, experienced 23 year old who currently does Alzheimer's research at Vanderbilt. I have extensive (8 years) of babysitting, tutoring, and nannying experience with infants, toddlers, and children of all ages. This is inclusive of children and adults with disabilities. I am more than happy to provide multiple references if preferred. I am first-aid, lifeguard, and CPR certified with a perfect driving record.

Payton McDonnell

Nashville$17/hr | 4 yrs experience

Hi! My name is Payton. I am moving from Iowa to Tennessee on August 1st! :)

To start, I am a huge lover of animals and children. I have also received my covid vaccine.

Over the past four years, I've worked with children and adults with developmental disabilities. As a Direct Support Professional, I implemented skill-building, sensory play, safety care, and medication administration. I provided compassionate care to the people I served.

I've loved caring for these individuals ever since I chose this path. I loved it so much I dedicated my life to caring for others! I just graduated with a degree in human physiology, a minor in psychology, and a certificate in disability studies. My plan is to eventually become an Occupational or Behavioral Therapist!

I will provide child care, housekeeping, compassion, and pet care if you need it. I look forward to working with you! :)

Townhomes of Shadow Glen, Nashville$16/hr | < 1 yr experience

My name is Hana and I may not be a mom just yet but I already feel like one considering I am a big sister to two girls. I also have a niece who is now 4 and I have been watching her since she was a new born. I never had a “babysitting” job because I would watch family friends and family. I have been the go to babysitter in my family for as long as I can remember. A little bit about myself is I graduated high school in 2017. I later attended cosmetology school, graduated and stayed in that field for about a year before I realized I rather be with children all day. It is what reminds me of home. I have always been used to being the role model figure in a child’s life. I love to play constructive games with them and anything to get their brains working. There has always been something in me that loved taking care of people, especially children. I would love to answer any questions you may have!
