Germantown date night, close to home
Germantown is the date night that does not require a tour of the city. Pizza on 4th Avenue, a pint on the greenway, or the farmers' market and a walk. The sample plan on this site ends here, at Rolf and Daughters, when you want the bigger night.
Care.com's average starting rate for a Nashville babysitter is $20.68 an hour as of October 2026. Four hours is $82.72. Three hours is $62.04. Your sitter may charge more on a Saturday. These totals use the average starting rate so you can compare nights, not so you can skip asking your sitter what they charge.
