Find experienced babysitters in Oakland, TN

I graduated from UNC in 2005 with a degree in philosophy and psychology, and I have taken many child development classes. I'm interested in the environment and working with kids. I have been baby-sitting regularly for 25 years. I am willing to provide references upon request but would prefer not to post any online.  I was a preschool teacher and have worked with children of all ages, but primarily with ages 1-5.  I like cooking and craft activities and enjoy being outside.  I have done overnight baby-sitting and traveled with families.  I am willing to baby-sit for large families or two families together - I am used to working with a group of six at school and enjoy working with larger groups of children.  I currently work full time as a nanny but am available in the evenings, weekends, and for overnights for baby-sitting.  I am also available to transport your child from your home to your child's school.  I enjoy seeing children learn and show passion in whatever is interesting to them.  I love watching children grow and figure things out - it's so exciting to me to see a child who was struggling with something conquer it!  I love to hear a child tell me all about something that is interesting to them.  I believe that adults learn from children as much as children learn from adults, and I look forward to opportunities to learn from your kids. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and don't mind doing pet care while I'm baby-sitting. I am also an experienced pet-sitter.

Hello! My name is Autumn and I am 27 years old. I began babysitting/nannying at the age of 15 and have done it consistently ever since. I have experience working personally with families and in daycare settings as well. Here's a bit of my story: I babysat and nannied full time from age 14 until I moved to SC in 2019 at 20 years old and loved every minute of it! Once we moved to SC I got a job at the Air Force Youth Center where I worked with school age children. I eventually transferred over to the Child Development Center where I was an infant teacher for two years. My husband has since separated from the Air Force and we relocated to Tennessee to be with family in 2022. I have been CPR/first aid certified through the air force and most recently through Baptist Health University. I am currently an infant teacher at a daycare now. I would be more than happy to provide references as I have worked for two families using Care. Please let me know if I can assist your family at any time!

Hi my name is Kaylee Watkins. A little bit about me is I am currently pursuing a master's degree in social work and hold a bachelor's degree in sociology with a minor in Applied Behavioral Science Concentration. Growing up I cared for all the kids in the family/friends, began to babysit at an early age, worked for a time in the church nursery, and worked as a mental health specialist with the Boys & Girls Club. I am a wife and a mom to two babies + two dogs. So I understand just how challenging it can be to trust another to care for your little. I've always enjoyed being around children as they never fail to keep me on my toes with their actions and wise words. I am CPR certified for all ages. Please if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
