Find an experienced nanny in Franklin, TN

Q: How much should I expect to pay a nanny in Franklin?

Nanny rates vary based on location, the nanny’s experience, and how many children need care. In most areas, nannies earn between $18–$30 per hour. Full-time, experienced nannies or those providing additional services (like tutoring or transportation) may charge more. On SitterTree, rates, expectations and schedules are set upfront for stress-free negotiations.

Q: What is the best way to find a nanny in Franklin?

It's easy to find a nanny in Franklin on platforms like SitterTree, which require ID verifications and background checks for nannies to stay active on the app. Look for nannies with relevant experience, and strong reviews from other parents. You can also meet candidates through local parenting networks or referrals, but it's important to conduct a reference check and background screening before making a decision.

Q: Is it cheaper to hire a nanny or daycare?

It depends on your family’s needs. Usually, daycare is more affordable for one child, but you might want to hire a nanny if you have multiple children or need flexible hours. Many parents choose nannies for personal attention, in-home convenience, and consistent care.

Q: What is the hourly rate for a nanny in Franklin?

Most nannies earn $18–$30 per hour, though rates vary by city, experience, and responsibilities. Specialized care (for newborns, overnights, or travel) often comes with a higher rate. Checking average rates in your area is the best way to stay competitive and fair.

Q: What is the difference between a nanny and a babysitter in Franklin?

A nanny provides regular, ongoing care—often weekly or full-time—and may help with routines, meals, school pickups, and child development. A babysitter usually provides occasional or short-term care, like date nights or weekends. Both roles are important, but you should make your choice based on the hours and consistency your family needs.

Q: How do you find a reliable nanny in Franklin?

Look for consistency, communication, and great reviews. On SitterTree, every nanny must meet Quality Standards, including a minimum 4.5-star rating, 0 no-shows, and no more than 3 last-minute cancellations. Ratings are generated from real parent reviews, so you can get an accurate sense of each nanny's reliability.

Q: How to safely hire a nanny in Franklin?

To make safe hiring decisions, review references, run a background check, and schedule an in-person or virtual interview. Ask about certifications like CPR and First Aid and previous experience. On SitterTree, nannies verify their identity and pass a background check, so you can focus on finding the right fit without worrying about what’s behind the profile.

Hi! I’m a 29-year-old CPA who is excited to transition into work that allows me to spend more time doing what I truly love — caring for and supporting children. Childcare has always been a big part of my life. I was a lifeguard from ages 15–18, and I also grew up babysitting, tutoring, and teaching swim lessons. Working with kids has consistently been the most rewarding part of my experience. During COVID, I cared for and homeschooled my three younger brothers full-time (ages 7 and 8 — including 8-year-old twins). One of my brothers has a learning disability, so I have hands-on experience adapting lessons, practicing patience, and creating individualized support to help children succeed academically and emotionally. In addition to caring for my brothers, I have extensive tutoring experience ranging from kindergarten through college-level students. I love helping children build confidence in their learning and watching them have those “lightbulb moments.” Swimming has also been a lifelong passion of mine. I’ve taught swim lessons for children ages 0–15 and served as an 8-and-under swim coach throughout high school. I nearly pursued collegiate swimming, so water safety and skill development are areas where I’m especially confident. I’m responsible, organized, energetic, and deeply patient. With my professional background, I bring reliability and strong communication skills, and with my childcare background, I bring warmth, structure, and genuine joy in helping children grow. I would love to support your family and create a safe, fun, and encouraging environment for your kids!

Dear parents & families, I am happy to share that I just moved to Nashville to start my first teaching job! I work for VUMC’s employee childcare center/ preschool and absolutely love it. Before moving here in May I was out West and abroad au pairing for two lovely families. From Aug 2020 - May 2024 I spent my time in Tuscaloosa at The University of Alabama where I studied elementary education. Before starting college I took a gap year and moved to Spain to be an au pair for the first time. I had such a fabulous experience that I continued to au pair/ teach English overseas for a handful of other international families during my summers off at bama. I have always adored taking care of children and find teaching to be incredibly rewarding. I am joining Sitter Tree to find local day and overnight babysitting opportunities. Thank you so much for your consideration! Kindest regards, Gertrude

I am a responsible and caring sitter with years of hands-on experience. Growing up with three younger sisters, I’ve always been the go-to helper in my family, which taught me patience, creativity, and the importance of keeping kids engaged and safe. I started babysitting at 12 and have continued ever since, building strong relationships with families in my community. For the past two summers, I have also worked as a nanny, further strengthening my skills in creating fun activities, helping with daily routines, and managing multiple children at once. I truly enjoy caring for kids and helping them thrive.
