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.

I am a great babysitter because I am caring, responsible, and patient. I have experience watching children of different ages, from infants to school-aged kids. I make sure they are safe, well-fed, and entertained. I love playing games, helping with homework, and reading stories. I’m always on time and follow any instructions parents give me. I know how to handle tantrums calmly and can change diapers, prepare simple meals, and stick to a routine. Parents trust me because I treat their children with love and respect. My goal is always to make kids feel happy, safe, and cared for

I have experience caring for children in homes, churches, and camp settings. I'm confident with multi-hour care and bedtime routines in individual homes. In church programs, I’ve worked with both small and large groups, helping create a safe and welcoming space. As a camp counselor for ages 5–8, I led games and activities while building a fun, supportive environment. I truly enjoy working with kids and helping them feel comfortable and cared for.

My name is Dannie Ezelle, and I am 20 years old. I am currently a sophomore in college, working towards a business degree. I just finished out as a teacher at The Gardner School of Midtown! My journey in childcare began in high school, where I took early childhood education courses that laid a strong foundation for my skills. I am CPR and First Aid certified, ensuring that I am well-prepared for any emergencies. I love working with children, it brings me so much joy and that is why I love being a sitter/nanny! With four years of experience in babysitting and nannying, I have developed a deep understanding of children's needs and how to provide a safe, nurturing environment. Being a teacher furthered my abilities to engage and educate young minds. I am passionate about providing quality care and look forward to the opportunity to support your family’s and/or children’s needs.
