Babysitting & dog sitting in Nashville

Warm, careful hands for your kids and your pups.

Hi, I’m Avery! I’ve been babysitting and dog sitting since high school, and today I’m a nursing student at South College. Bedtimes, bottle feeds, leash walks and homework, all handled with calm and care, plus sweet little updates while you’re out.

What I do

How I can help your family

Babysitting & nannying

Date nights, weekend afternoons, school pickups and full days. I follow the routine you already have, so your kids feel right at home.

  • Meals, snacks and bath time
  • Homework, reading and play
  • Bedtime routines, just the way you do them
  • A tidy house before I go
Ages 1 to 10

Dog sitting & walks

Drop-in visits, walks and overnight stays, at your home or mine. I’ve cared for lots of pups, and my girl Pumpkin loves new friends.

  • Your place or mine
  • A fully fenced yard for playtime
  • Walks, meals and meds on schedule
  • A cute photo after every visit

The whole crew

Kids and pets together, with one sitter who knows them all. Most families I sit for have both, so this is where I really shine.

  • Everything above, in one booking
  • Evenings, weekends or travel weeks
  • Overnights in your home
  • One friendly face all day
One booking, not two

About me

Hi, I’m Avery!

I started babysitting in high school for families in my neighborhood, and their dogs came right along with the kids. I’ve loved it ever since. Now I’m in the nursing program at South College in Nashville, working toward becoming a family nurse practitioner.

I also volunteer with hospice in the Franklin area. It has taught me so much about patience and paying attention, and those same things matter in your home on a Tuesday night: staying calm, noticing what someone needs before they ask, and being someone your family can truly count on.

When I’m not in class, I’m usually curled up with my own pup, Pumpkin, my favorite little cuddle buddy.

Can’t wait to meet you, Avery
How it works

Getting started is easy

  1. Say hello

    Text or email me the date, the hours, and who I’d be looking after. I reply the same day.

  2. Meet first

    A free 20-minute meet and greet at your home or over video. Kids and pups are very welcome.

  3. Share the routine

    Allergies, bedtimes, feeding times, house rules and who to call. I write it all down.

  4. Enjoy your time

    You’ll get a photo and a little update while you’re out, and come home to a happy house.

Rates

Flexible for every family

I don’t use a one-size-fits-all price list. A regular Tuesday evening is different from a last-minute date night or a weekend with two dogs and a toddler, so let’s talk it through and find what feels fair for both of us.

Regular families get my best rate. Just ask!
Who’s in my careHow many kiddos, their ages, and whether pets are part of the day.
How long & how oftenA one-time evening, a regular weekly spot, or an overnight stay.
What the day includesSchool runs, meals, bath and bedtime, walks, feeding and meds.
Let’s connect

I’d love to meet your family.

Texting is the quickest way to reach me. Just send the date, the hours, and who I’d be looking after, whether that’s kids, pups, or both!
