Find an experienced nanny in Nashville, TN

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

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 Nashville?

It's easy to find a nanny in Nashville 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 Nashville?

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 Nashville?

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 Nashville?

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 Nashville?

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! My name is Gabriela (Gabby) Romo. I’m 21 years old and a senior at Belmont University, studying Educational Policy. I’ve always loved working with kids and started babysitting when I was 14. Over the years, I’ve gained lots of hands-on experience and knowledge about child development, which has helped me create safe, fun, and engaging environments for children of all ages. Families can count on me to be reliable, caring, and attentive and I truly enjoy getting to know each child’s unique personality and interests.

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.

Hello Families, I am a college student majoring in English Education. Although I plan on teaching Middle School, I have experience from working as a preschool teacher, a middle school classroom assistant and a community engagement intern. I've met and taught students ranging from ages 4-14 and I am excited to continue pursuing this journey. I make sure that every student ! encounter is left with confidence and a will to be authentic. I have learned while working with children that they enjoy being around people that are honest, clean and interactive which are qualities I take pride in having. I believe that every child, no matter where they come from is deserving of patience, education, and protection and I am truly honored that your family trusts me to bring that into your home!
