Hi, I’m Caroline! I am currently an after-school teacher at Primrose School of Farragut and have several years of experience working with children through both professional roles and babysitting. I hold a CPR certification, a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation, allowing me to help with pickups, drop-offs, and outings. In addition to teaching, I have worked at Main Event and Defy Parks, where I coordinated children’s birthday parties and group activities, building strong skills in keeping kids engaged, safe, and entertained. I’m passionate about connecting with children, creating fun and meaningful experiences, and continuing to grow in my journey toward becoming a teacher.

Hi! I am a part-time college student and currently work full-time at a high school in the special education department on the inclusion side of things. I support students in general education classrooms by adapting my approach to different learning styles and needs, helping them stay engaged, and supporting focus, behavior, and academic success. This has helped me build strong patience, flexibility, and a natural ability to connect with kids where they are. I’ve also been a lead teacher in a 1–2-year-old classroom, a nanny for two families, and have years of babysitting experience. I’m very comfortable working with children from infancy through high school and familiar with developmental milestones, routines, and transitions at every stage. I really enjoy creating a warm, fun, and safe environment where kids feel comfortable being themselves. I love hands-on activities like outdoor play, crafts, reading, and imaginative games over screen time. I’m caring, reliable, and attentive, and I focus on supporting not just children’s physical needs but also their emotional well-being, helping them feel understood, secure, and supported while giving parents peace of mind. I have full-time availability during the summer and weekend availability during the school year.

Hi! Although I’m new to professional babysitting, I have a strong background in childcare and education. I have 2 years of experience as a summer camp counselor, where I worked closely with children ages 6–12, planning activities, supporting learning, and maintaining a fun but structured environment! In addition to my professional experience, I’ve helped care for my younger sister, who is nine years younger than me, which has given me firsthand experience with responsibility, patience, and adaptability in a family setting. I would describe my caregiving style as playful yet structured. I love creating engaging activities, helping with homework, and keeping kids active and motivated while also making sure routines and expectations are followed. I’m first aid certified and was also paid to tutor during high school, so I’m especially comfortable supporting children academically. I’m comfortable with pets and available for evenings, weekends, and flexible daytime hours. I pride myself on being reliable, attentive, and someone parents can trust to provide both fun and stability. I’d love the opportunity to support your family!

Why do you love being a sitter? I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy spending time with children and helping them learn, grow, and have fun in a safe environment. Building relationships with kids and giving parents peace of mind is something I truly enjoy. Every child has a unique personality, and I love getting to be part of their day. What experience do you have? I am a high school teacher with experience working with children of all ages. Before teaching, I worked in childcare, and I have also volunteered in my church nursery caring for infants and toddlers. These experiences have helped me become patient, dependable, and confident in caring for children in a variety of settings. What skills and training do you have? As a teacher, I have experience managing groups of children, creating engaging activities, helping with homework, and handling challenging situations calmly. I am organized, responsible, and reliable. I also have experience with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children through childcare, teaching, and church volunteer work. My goal is always to provide a safe, fun, and caring environment where children feel comfortable and parents feel confident leaving their little ones in my care.

Hi! I recently moved to Knoxville from the Nashville area to attend pharmacy school. I’m currently a PharmD student and serve as a class liaison for my cohort, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and leadership skills. My long-term interests are in pharmacy business and management, but I’ve always had a special interest in pediatrics and really enjoy working with children. Childcare has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom has run a daycare out of our home my entire life, and I’ve worked alongside her with the daycare since I was 16. Because we lived on a farm, I especially loved getting the kids outside, exploring, playing, and sharing some of the whimsy and creativity that comes with growing up around nature. I enjoy helping kids use their imagination, stay curious, and have fun while still keeping a safe and structured environment. I’m CPR and BLS certified, and I also worked as a lifeguard in high school, which gave me additional experience with safety and staying calm in unexpected situations. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each family’s routines and preferences. I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting, date nights, evenings, weekends, or recurring care that works around my pharmacy school schedule.
