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.

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.

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!
