Caroline L., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 4 years of paid experience

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 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.

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!

Karla R., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 20 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Karla and for the past 20 years, caring for children has been something I truly love and feel passionate about. I have had the opportunity to care for infants, toddlers, and school-aged kids, and every family I’ve worked with has been a special part of my journey. I genuinely adore being around children and I find so much joy and helping them feel safe, happy, loved and cared for. Taking care of children is something I truly love and take great pride in. I am a kind, loving, compassionate, patient, and nurturing person. I understand that every child is unique, and I believe they deserve to feel safe, respected, heard, and loved. When I care for a child, I treat them with the same gentleness, attention, and care that I would give to my own family. Over the years, I have had the privilege of watching children grow, learn, and develop, and those relationships have been incredibly meaningful to me. I enjoy creating a fun and positive environment where children can be themselves while also providing the structure, supervision, and guidance they need. I take my responsibility as a caregiver very seriously. Parents are trusting me with the most precious part of their lives, and I never take that trust for granted. I am dependable, attentive, and committed to making sure children are happy, comfortable, safe, and well cared for while they are in my care. I also believe communication with parents is extremely important. I am happy to provide updates throughout the day so parents can feel connected and reassured while they are away. Most importantly, I truly love what I do. Being able to care for children, make them smile, comfort them when they need it, and be a positive and loving presence in their lives is incredibly rewarding to me. I would be honored to have the opportunity to become a trusted caregiver for your family! ❤️

Ava R., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 3 years of paid experience

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!
