Alyssa G.
- 2 years paid experience
- < 1 mile

Hi! My name is Alyssa. I’m 24 years old. I grew up with a younger sister, who I always enjoyed helping care for. I have always enjoyed being around children, as they bring back that little childhood spark. I hope to not only care for the child, but also help engage their minds. I have had multiple jobs in which I cared for children of all ages. I worked at an after school daycare, which the children were 5-12 years of age. I also worked at a preschool, which the children were 6 wks-4 years of age. I am also CPR certified, as well as Covid vaccinated. Unfortunately, I cannot drive as I have not learned how, but I am dedicated and have no problem walking to and from your house (if close enough). I look forward to talking with you and hopefully working with you!

Madeline H.
- 3 years paid experience
- 1 mile

Hi I’m Madeline, and I’ve worked with children ages 8 weeks & up, on and off since my high school years! I often would babysit during summer time throughout high school, and I worked in a church nursery during college to gain lots of experience. Things like communicating specific child needs/concerns with parents, providing comfort and emotional/physical care to children (i.e. soothing with songs or distracting with toys during distress), as well as observing play activities to identify positive behaviors and implementing behavior redirection when appropriate were all valuable learning experiences I gained during this time, on top of doing the basic tasks like changing diapers and providing snacks/meals. I am also CPR certified as of August 2023. I must say, working with children is one of the most fulfilling jobs I think a girl can have! Even after graduating college, I worked in a pediatric dental office for nearly two years and it was so much fun getting to still be surrounded by kiddos each day. That being said, I am currently in the middle of figuring out my career path and looking for something to fulfill me in the meantime!

Cay C.
- 5 years paid experience
- 1 mile

With a lifelong background in childcare, I bring a deep-rooted passion and hands-on experience to every family I work with. Growing up as one of five siblings, I learned early on the value of patience, responsibility, and the importance of nurturing care. I worked for several years at a daycare, where I cared for children of various ages and developmental stages. Eventually, I transitioned to in-home babysitting, gaining experience with children from diverse backgrounds, including those with autism and other special needs. In addition to my childcare experience, I am a former certified lifeguard and CPR trained, providing families with an added layer of safety and confidence. I’m also a mother of two, whom I homeschool using gentle, respectful parenting and a natural, holistic lifestyle. My approach blends empathy, clear communication, and a deep understanding of child development to create a calm, engaging, and supportive environment for every child in my care.

Promise L.
- 18 years paid experience
- 14 miles

I’ve been a nanny to many children for the past 20 years now. Before that, I was babysitting since the age of 13. I’ve grown close to all my nanny families and still keep in contact with them. I’ve watched newborns to pre teens. I love children and their pure honesty. I took a break to spend some time with my miracle girl we had on 3/8/18 from IVF but started back at sitting when she started pre-k in 2022. I’m currently watching two girls here in Tn. Along with my 6yr old daughter part time. I’m up early on my own, just seeing if anyone needs early morning help as I’m still working afternoons. My current boss has been so gracious in letting my daughter come along with me, and the girls have become besties. I’m hoping to find a family that is ok with me bringing her along when needed but it’s not mandatory. I am CPR certified and also have my fingerprint clearance card.
