Erika C., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 4 years of paid experience

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.

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.

Carly L., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 5 years of paid experience

Hi there, my name is Carly. I am 25 years old. I am very good with infants and young children due to my mother being a labor and delivery nurse so I have been well adjusted to this age range. What made me want to be sitter was that I volunteered at a daycare once a week when I was in high school. My friends and I helped tutor young kids there then we would spend extra time in the baby room to give them attention as well. I have 9 years of experience as a nanny for different families working with kids anywhere from 2 months to 10 years old. I also worked in the infant room at a daycare during the Covid pandemic. I am CPR certified and have taken a course on early childhood development. I have worked with special needs, multiples, and infants. I am married to my high school sweetheart. I am currently working as a catering warehouse manager in the Knoxville area so my schedule is 9-5 on weekdays. It is a full time job so I’m just looking for extra income outside of my regular job.

I love being around kids and getting to be someone they feel comfortable and safe with. I enjoy seeing their personalities come out, keeping them entertained, and being part of their everyday routines. I’m very patient and caring, and I genuinely enjoy helping kids learn, have fun, and feel supported. I also love that every child is different, so being a sitter is never boring!

I’m comfortable keeping kids entertained, helping with meals and routines, playing with them, and making sure they’re safe and cared for. I also have experience helping children with schoolwork and enjoy working with kids in both educational and fun settings.

Elise irene C., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 2 years of paid experience

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!

Alyssa P., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 6 years of paid experience

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.
