Debbie M., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 30 years of paid experience

Hi, my name is Debbie. I have spent the last 2 years watching the sweetest little boy. I started when he was about 5 months old and he is now 2 in a half. He has started preschool so my time with them has come to and end. I have 15 plus years experience working in the school system as a special education specialist and before that was a nursery supervisor for 6 years. I have tons of experience with infants to high school-aged kids. I also have 2 grown boys and a grand baby. As I am looking for only a couple days a week I would be perfect for your needs. Thank you for your consideration.

Lisa A., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 35 years of paid experience

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.

Colleen M., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 20 years of paid experience

In addition to being a mom of 2 adult sons, I am a full time nanny with 20+ years of experience and with all ages. Even though I chose to go back to school and graduate as a Medical Assistant when my boys were little, it only took a few years working within the hospital to confirm my true passion is nurturing and helping little ones grow. Since then I have added caring for children with health conditions to my experience. Being accepted as part of a family, fostering a child’s development emotionally and developmentally, and teaching a kiddo through adventure and experiences is a true blessing. I am open to light housework and meal prep as needed. I have a safe driving record, and a safe and reliable vehicle. I firmly believe in open communication and punctuality. If structured learning, just a day of fun, or a healthy combo is what you are looking for I look forward to the opportunity to become a part of your family, not just an employee.

Hi, my name is Lula. I am 62 years old, but don't let my age fool you. I can keep up with the best of them. Just ask anyone who knows me. I love arts and crafts and teaching preschool and up.

As far as experience goes, I have a current CDA, a technical certification in ECE, a bachelor's in human services with a concentration in children and family, and I'm working on my masters in Industrial Organizational Psychology.

I have worked with chromosome deficiency, ADHD, ADD, and Downs Syndrome. I have 40 years of experience working with children of all ages. I also owned and operated a childcare facility for 15 years and was a 3 star facility from the time stars started till I closed.
