Overview: Nurturing and Invested Nanny needed for family of four in Nashville.
About: Mom and Dad met at Vanderbilt University in 2008 and attended medical school there until graduating in 2017. Since that time, they have lived in many places while completing medical training and starting their careers, including Chicago, Indianapolis, Baltimore, DC, and Boulder, Co. They were thrilled to have the opportunity to return to Nashville in 2025, when they were both offered positions at Vanderbilt. When not working, Mom enjoys walks around the neighborhood with the family dog and hikes in Percy Warner. Dad is an avid runner and golfer. They have both enjoyed reconnecting with old friends, re-exploring Nashville and trying some of the new restaurants in town.
The couple welcomed their first child, a little girl (G2.5) in October 2023. They say she is a bright and confident little soul who brings light wherever she goes. She has stepped beautifully into her new role as Big Sister — gentle and eager to help. She is also full of imagination and loves pretend play and being outdoors. She will begin her 3’s preschool program on M/W/F this August.
Her little brother (BNB) arrived in early May, and already feels like the final piece of this family’s puzzle. In these early days, Mom and Dad are still getting to know his rhythms, but they shared that “he seems to be following in his Big Sister’s footsteps as a good sleeper”. (BNB) is home full time
Also in the home is Hank, the family’s 7-year-old cattle dog mix, who is loyal and gentle.
Mom and Dad’s parenting style is one that values structure and routine, while also making sure to allow for flexibility as they navigate each new phase with their kiddos. They prioritize spending time with each other, valuing the simple things in life, and always giving their children time and space to grow and develop a true sense of self and independence. Their hope is that their children always know and show kindness and compassion for others.
The family’s ideal candidate is :
Reliable and Punctual
Honest
Nurturing

They consider their nanny to be part of the family, and hope to find a caregiver who will feel the same.
