Locally Rooted. Family Trusted.
Always Prepared.

At Blue Ridge Babysitting Co., we believe finding safe, reliable childcare shouldn’t feel like an uphill climb.
We’re a locally rooted babysitting referral network serving Nashville and the surrounding Middle Tennessee area, connecting families with sitters who are vetted, verified, and ready to lend a helping hand.

Our sitter network — known as the Ridge Scouts — is comprised of experienced caregivers who share a single mission: to help families feel supported, confident, and connected. Whether you need occasional care or regular help, we make the process simple, transparent, and personal.

Welcome to Blue Ridge Babysitting Co.

Where peace of mind meets playtime — the Ridge Scout way.

Finding reliable childcare shouldn’t feel like climbing a mountain.
At Blue Ridge Babysitting Co., we make it simple by connecting Nashville families with trusted, pre-screened sitters — our Ridge Scouts — who are ready to lend a helping hand.

We’re not a franchise or an app; we’re a local, mama-run referral service built on trust, community, and good old-fashioned reliability. Each sitter in our network is background-checked, motor-vehicle verified, and personally interviewed — so families can relax knowing every match has been carefully chosen.

💙 Our Commitment

At Blue Ridge Babysitting Co., our promise is simple:
to help families feel secure, supported, and connected through every season of care.

✅ We commit to referring only screened, verified caregivers who meet our safety standards.
✅ We commit to clear communication and honest matching — no algorithms, no guesswork.
✅ We commit to creating positive experiences for families and sitters alike — where care feels like community.

Because when parents feel confident and kids feel happy, everyone wins. 🌄✨

👩‍👧 About Our Founder

Hi, I’m Alicia Goldy — mom, childcare professional, and founder of Blue Ridge Babysitting Co.

After building Blue Harbor Babysitting Co., a coastal babysitting brand serving families across New Jersey and Florida, I wanted to bring that same quality and peace of mind inland — with a Nashville twist.

Blue Ridge was born from my love of family, community, and the outdoors. It’s a place where professionalism meets heart, and where local families find sitters who feel more like neighbors than strangers.

With the launch of Blue Ridge Babysitting Co., I’m excited to introduce a new kind of childcare connection — one rooted in trust, simplicity, and the spirit of adventure.

What Sets Us Apart

At Blue Ridge Babysitting Co., we’re not your typical babysitting service — and that’s exactly the point.
We believe in doing things the Ridge Scout way: with care, connection, and a genuine commitment to the families we serve.

Local Roots, Real Relationships

We’re proud to be a Nashville-born, mama-run company, not a franchise or an app.
Every sitter we refer is part of our local Ridge Scout network — real people serving real families right here in Middle Tennessee.

Handpicked, Not Algorithm-Matched

There’s no swiping or searching — we personally review each request and hand-match families with sitters based on experience, location, and personality fit.

Verified Through Stripe Identity

Each Ridge Scout completes a government ID + selfie verification through Stripe Identity, ensuring every sitter’s identity is confirmed by a trusted third party.
For sitters who drive, we also review motor vehicle reports and run a nationwide background check before any referral.

Flexible Options for Every Family

Whether you need a one-time sitter or recurring help, our simple membership and booking options make it easy to get the care you need — without complex contracts or surprise fees.

A Brand Built on Heart

Founded by a mom who’s been on both sides of childcare, Blue Ridge Babysitting Co. was created to bring trust and balance back to family life.
We care about connection — because when families feel supported, the whole community grows stronger.
