Nanny & Babysitting Jobs for Nashville Families
Nashville is home to families with a wide range of schedules, lifestyles, and child care needs. Parents may work downtown, commute to offices throughout the Nashville area, work in healthcare or entertainment, run their own businesses, or work remotely from home.
Some families need a professional nanny to provide consistent weekday care. Others may need a babysitter for date nights, help with after-school routines, or occasional child care when their regular plans change.
That's where TLC comes in.
Our caregivers provide more than supervision. They help children stay engaged, maintain routines, explore their interests, and feel comfortable while parents are working or away.
Depending on the assignment, you could help with homework, prepare snacks and meals, take children to activities, organize creative projects, play outside, or explore Nashville with the kids.

Make Your Workday an Adventure in Nashville
One of the best parts of working with children in Nashville is having so many parks, museums, attractions, and outdoor spaces nearby.
Depending on the family's preferences and the assignment, caregivers may spend the day exploring Centennial Park and seeing the famous Parthenon, getting hands-on with science at Adventure Science Center, or visiting Nashville Zoo at Grassmere.
Centennial Park is especially convenient for families in Midtown and West Nashville, with open green space, walking areas, and the Parthenon all in one location. Nashville's official tourism organization also highlights Centennial Park, Adventure Science Center, and other attractions as family-friendly things to do around Music City.
For children who love the outdoors, caregivers can explore Radnor Lake State Park, Edwin and Percy Warner Parks, or Shelby Bottoms Nature Center & Greenway. These destinations provide opportunities for walking, nature exploration, wildlife spotting, and outdoor play.
Families in East Nashville may enjoy spending time at Shelby Park or exploring the nearby greenways. For families in Hermitage and East Nashville, Nashville Shores Waterpark can be a fun summer destination for older children.
Younger children can also enjoy hands-on activities at the Children's Museum of Nashville, neighborhood playgrounds, libraries, music classes, and local community events.
The goal isn't simply to keep kids occupied. It's about creating a safe, engaging day that gives children opportunities to play, learn, explore, and have fun.
