I have had experience as a Lead Teacher at our church for Parents Day Out (PDO) as of January, 2026. I had 14, 1-2yr olds (12 mnths- 24 mnths+). The children filtered out as they aged/obtained the life skills they needed in order to move up in classes. By the time I completed this job in July, I had had anywhere from 14-30 students in total. I enjoy teaching children how to walk, talk, clean up toys, reading to them, and helping them grow. I have a 3 year old and a 5 year old myself. I am also a youth pastors wife and have helped in various churches in the children’s ministries of all age groups. I have lots of experience and really enjoy teaching. I have also been a substitute teacher, long term sub, and a teacher’s aid. I am CPR and AED certified as well.

I am in college to be a physicians assistant with 2 years left! I love being a sitter because it is very rewarding to help, watch, and attend to your children growing! I have been babysitting for around 10-11 years now, ranging from ages 2 months old-13 years old. Past roles/ responsibilities I have had are assisting with homework, preparing meals/snacks, running errands, laundry, and basic cleaning. I am CPR certified, First aid certified, and worked as a PCA for 2 years; I also have a clean driving record!

Emary has been working with our family as a nanny for the past few months and we couldn't be more thrilled with her performance. Our sons verbal and non-verbal skills developed more under her care in one month than he did with our previous nanny in four months! Emary is dependable, reliable, trust-worthy, warm and friendly towards our son (as well as our four-legged son) and always has a great attitude. I can tell she genuinely cares about children and has a talent to bond with a child and make them smile. Emary is mature beyond her years. I'm very happy she's apart of our family.

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.

I have done childcare for over 35years. I have been married to my husband for 25yrs. We are parents of two girls and just finalized the adoption of our girls in February 2022! I have volunteered in the church nursery,been a preschool teacher, a part time nanny,and a babysitter to many families. My experience with children is a variety of ages. I have watched a newborn (2days after being home) all the way up to teenagers. I have taken care of multiple children at one time; this includes in-home care,daycare settings, in hotel rooms and also my own home as well! I have taken care of children with and without disabilities. I love being around children,love reading to them and singing to them. I like watching children use their imaginations. I love going for walks and taking mini trips/vacations with my husband and kids and enjoying beautiful senenery. I love playing outdoors as well as indoors with kids. I try to do crafts or other developmentally appropriate activities with the children I watch. I strive to provide a loving,safe, fun & caring environment. I have CPR and First Aid certified and an willing to take any additional training the parents would like to see in their babysitter/caregiver. My goal is to provide parents complete peace that their kids are in great hands while they must be away from their children. I would be happy to answer any other questions someone has.

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!

Hi! My name is Ava, and I am currently a junior at the University of Tennessee studying Finance and Economics. I love children and come from a big family where I’m the oldest of 6 (current ages are 16-3 years old) and have babysitted countless of times for my parents. I additionally frequently volunteer at Muse, Knoxville, which has been so much fun teaching children about STEAM and the power of curiosity. I was a lifeguard in high school for about 3 years, so I have training in CPR, First Aid, and water safety. Furthermore, all throughout high school and into college, I was a tutor for other students mainly in math and science. I am fully available for weekends and can be made available for week nights as well. I have my own car and have plenty of experience with changing diapers, bedtime routine, meal preparation, and finding ways to be creative away from screens. I would be perfect for any family looking for a sitter who loves playing outside, animals, reading, playing board games, and creating!
