Kaitlin F., Babysitter in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 1 year of paid experience

Hi! I’m a 20-year-old babysitter with a big heart, tons of energy, and a genuine love for kids. I’m the kind of sitter who actually enjoys playing games, doing crafts, reading the same story five times, and turning everyday moments into fun memories. I’m responsible, patient, and always focused on making sure your child feels safe, happy, and cared for. Whether it’s homework help, bedtime routines, or keeping little ones entertained while you’re out, I’ve got it covered. Parents appreciate that I’m reliable and communicative and kids love that I’m fun and easy to talk to!

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!

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.
