Overview: West Nashville couple seeking a gentle, experienced nanny to care for their sweet baby girl.
About: As natives of Mississippi and Oregon, Mom and Dad’s paths first crossed in college nearly fifteen years ago. They quickly realized they had found something special in each other, and what started out as friendship, quickly developed into a partnership that has carried them through long‑distance stretches, and early career moves. Now, after years of crisscrossing the country and living in eight different states, they made their final move to Nashville in 2024 to put down roots and raise a family.
For their careers, Dad works from home for a boutique consulting firm focused on innovation and design, while Mom supports graduate students and faculty at a local university, helping them grow as thoughtful, confident educators.
In their free time, Mom enjoys writing and knitting, while Dad likes to play Golf and tinker with technology.
The couple welcomed their first child, (GNB), in January, and describe her as a very sweet little cutie. She arrived just a bit early and has been a calm, gentle soul so far — a tiny one who loves to squirm, stretch, and wave her arms around as she takes in the world. She’s still very much in the newborn stage, but her parents are already seeing hints of her emerging personality. She’s a fairly good sleeper once she settles, and while feeding can sometimes take a little patience, she’s growing well with a mix of breastfeeding, pumped milk, and occasional formula. (GNB) will be home full time.
Also in the home are the couples two very large, and very lovable cats – Spark and Hal – who are part Maine Coon so they are big boys!
As first-time parents, Mom and Dad are still finding their rhythm, but their guiding intention is simple: to love and support their daughter unconditionally as she grows into whoever she is meant to be. They describe themselves as homebodies at heart — happiest curled up with books, good shows, and quiet routines — and they imagine their parenting reflecting that same sense of warmth and steadiness.
They’re approaching this season with openness and curiosity, learning as they go, and giving themselves grace along the way. They value a calm, predictable environment, gentle guidance, and the kind of presence that will help their little one feel safe and deeply cared for. With supportive grandparents who visit often (and who may need gentle reminders not to spoil too much), they feel grateful to be raising their daughter within a circle of love.
Above all, they hope to create a home where she feels secure, encouraged, and free to grow into the amazing person she’s already becoming.
Ideal Nanny Qualities:
Mom and Dad are hoping to find a nanny who brings a calm, gentle presence to their home — someone patient, experienced with newborns, and confident in supporting their little one through these early months. Organization and clear communication matter to them, especially as they both work full‑time and are navigating new parenthood together.
They value a caregiver who approaches the day as a partner: someone collaborative, thoughtful, and comfortable checking in, sharing observations, and working alongside them as their daughter grows. While this position is expected to be short‑term, they know how meaningful a great nanny can be in a child’s early life and are open to extending the partnership for the right fit.
Family prefers candidates who have an up to date TDap.
The family does not require candidates to have a current Flu Shot or Covid Vaccine.
