Denise C., Babysitter in Oakland, TN 38060 with 25 years of paid experience

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.

Denny cared for our 2 year-old daughter with a lot of attention and eased our minds about hiring a sitter. She didn't turn on the TV once, which I really appreciated! She arrived on time and as an added bonus, gave our cat some loving snuggles :) Highly recommend!

Maya  M., Babysitter in Oakland, TN 38060 with 4 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Maya, and I am a compassionate, energetic, and dedicated caregiver with extensive experience working with infants, toddlers, and school-aged children. I hold a Bachelor of Science in Biology from Rust College, and I’ve built a strong background in childcare through both professional positions and hands-on roles with families. I formerly worked as an Infant & Toddler Teacher at Porter-Leath, where I supported early childhood development through structured routines, nurturing care, and age-appropriate learning activities. My experience also includes being a Teacher Assistant at Riverwood Elementary School, helping facilitate classroom instruction and providing one-on-one support to students. Also, working as a caregiver through WYNDY, a Nanny Agency, where I adapted to the needs of each family, promoted healthy habits, encouraged positive behavior, and maintained a safe, clean environment. I’ve led youth programs as a Group Leader at the YMCA, planned engaging activities, and served as a positive role model. My background in customer service has strengthened my communication, patience, multitasking, and problem-solving skills—qualities that help me build trusting relationships with both children and parents. I love creating fun, educational experiences, whether through arts and crafts, outdoor adventures, sensory play, or early learning activities. Safety is always my priority, and I take pride in helping children feel secure, supported, and confident as they grow. Outside of work, I enjoy dancing, yoga, creating social media content for my followers, watching my favorite YouTubers, and staying active through various workouts. I bring this same energy and positivity into my childcare style. I would love the opportunity to support your family and provide reliable, nurturing care tailored to your child’s needs.

Sydney B., Babysitter in Oakland, TN 38060 with 8 years of paid experience

I have a passion for working with children. I have a degree specializing in child development - specifically child psychology and expressive arts therapy. I’ve spent the last 8 years nannying and teaching music. My goal is to foster a tailored environment for each child in my care, as all children learn and grow differently. I believe a well balanced combination of unstructured child-led exploration(ie make believe, pretend play, dancing etc) and structured activities (ie educational content, crafts, reading etc) creates an atmosphere where children thrive. I follow “gentle parenting” practices and encourage age-appropriate communication and redirection when necessary.

Zaria W., Babysitter in Oakland, TN 38060 with 2 years of paid experience

I love being a sitter because I genuinely enjoy working with children and being a positive influence in their lives. I love creating a safe, fun, and caring environment where kids feel comfortable, supported, and happy. Watching children learn, grow, and express their personalities is something that brings me joy. I also enjoy building trusting relationships with families and helping parents feel confident knowing their children are in good hands. Being able to care for children with patience, kindness, and understanding is something I take seriously and truly enjoy. I am 19 years old and have been working in child care for about 2.5 years. During that time, I have gained experience caring for children of different ages and personalities. My experience includes supervising children, helping with routines, preparing snacks and meals, keeping children engaged in fun and educational activities, helping with nap times, and maintaining a safe and positive environment. Through child care, I’ve learned how important patience, communication, responsibility, and attentiveness are when caring for children. I’m comfortable multitasking, staying organized, and adapting to the different needs of each child and family. I have strong skills in communication, patience, organization, and problem-solving. I am dependable, responsible, caring, and able to remain calm in different situations. My child care experience has taught me how to work well with children while creating a structured but fun environment for them. I understand the importance of safety, routines, and positive interactions. I’m always willing to continue learning and growing so I can provide the best care possible for families and their children. I’m a caring and hardworking person who enjoys helping others and making a positive impact. I value kindness, responsibility, and building strong relationships with the families I work with. I enjoy bringing positive energy into every environment and being someone children can feel safe and comfortable around. I take pride in being trustworthy, attentive, and reliable, and I look forward to continuing my journey in child care and supporting families however I can.
