Hi there! I'm Bella Perez, and while I may not have a lengthy professional resume in babysitting, I come from a wonderfully large family full of energetic kiddos that have given me a lot of hands-on experience! As the go-to family babysitter, I've embraced every giggle and storytime that comes with caring for my younger relatives - all on a volunteer basis. My role as the unofficial 'childcare coordinator' in my household has taught me patience, creativity, and the art of multitasking, ensuring your little ones are safe and happy.

Hi! I am originally from Chicago but moved to Nashville in 2019. I have worked with and been around children all my life. I love teaching them, as well as doing fun activities with them. I have babysat and been a mother's helper since I was 11 years-old and would consider myself an excellent role model to children. I have worked for many different families over the year, and especially love to find a regular family that needs date night sitters that I can can continue to babysit for. I was a full-time nanny all 4 years of college for a family with 5 kids, all under the age of 5 years old including a set of twins. I then was also a nanny the first couple years I lived in Nashville for 2 little boys, one being completely immune compromised and on a feeding tube. I have felt with every challenge of babysitting and am comfortable with all age groups. I have lived in Nashville for 5 years now and am very familiar with almost all areas of Nashville and kid friendly activities in Nashville as well. I have many amazing references from my families I am currently or have babysat for and would be glad to pass the information along. My schedule is pretty flexible and I have pretty open availability with a bit of notice. Would love to chat more and hopefully be your families new go to babysitter :)

Hello! My name is Cai M. I am a senior at the University of Illinois at Chicago, and I am a nanny with 9+ years of childcare experience seeking a new family to join! Part-time is preferred,but I am absolutely open to full-time. Ideally, I am looking for a long-term position. I worked at my church as a babysitter for 6 years changing diapers, coordinating play, integrating educational tools and ensuring safety. I then worked for a family with 2 young boys (for a span of 3 years as needed) and was involved in daily safety, educational enrichment and nutrition. My latest nannying job was with a family of 2 girls, ages 2 and 3. I washed dishes, did laundry, changed clothes, helped with household chores, meal prep and supervised playtime. I am also more than comfortable transporting children to and from activities and running errands for the entire family. I think I strike a perfect balance between nurturing and structure. I believe in partnering with the parent(s) to provide continuity of care and to honor and reinforce the parenting styles you value. I'm organized, punctual, reliable, I'm an excellent cook and cleaner and I am great with children of all ages!
