A little bit about me
Hi! I’m Sophia, and I’m currently looking for nannying opportunities. I’ve always had a natural connection with kids—my family even calls me the “kid whisperer” because of how easily I build trust and strong relationships with them. I’ve cared for multiple younger cousins, including one with special needs, which has shaped me to be patient, attentive, and adaptable. I love creating a fun, safe, and engaging environment where kids feel comfortable and genuinely enjoy their time.

A little bit about me
Hi families! My name is Emma, and I recently relocated to Nashville from Dallas, TX. I have over 8 years of paid childcare experience, including consistent babysitting for local families, volunteering through church programs, and hands-on, live-in care for my infant niece and toddler nephew.
While I’ve explored different professional paths over the years, childcare has always remained the most meaningful and fulfilling work for me. It’s where I feel most purposeful, and I genuinely love investing in children during such important stages of their development.
I have experience supporting children ranging from infantry to middle school, some on the autism spectrum and those with ADHD.
Above all, I understand the trust parents place in someone caring for their children. Safety, communication, reliability, and consistency are extremely important to me, and I take that responsibility seriously.
