Hi families big and small! I am 26yo and have been caring for children since I was 15. Shortly before I graduated high school, I worked at a Daycare. I continued to babysit after that job, employed by family for a couple years. Since then I have committed part of my life to mentoring and coaching students as a coach for several high and middle school color guard (Band) programs throughout middle Tennessee. My experience in childcare spans from infants and toddlers up to school-age, as I often assisted with different age groups weekly while working at the daycare. In my personal life, I find myself taking on a caregiver role around my nephews and young cousins. It's natural for me to make sure kids are taken care of, safe and having fun or learning something new. People who know me would say that I'm very patient, responsible, and kind. In addition, I also have my own reliable transportation.

I began my career in childcare during high school. While in school, I took parenting, nutrition, and child services courses. After high school, I worked in childcare settings, which led me to my current position. I currently work at a daycare in Clarksville, Tennessee, where I have received CPR and first aid training. I love and enjoy engaging in creative crafts, playing games, learning activities, and singing and dancing to music with children. In my free time, I enjoy turfing, skating, cooking, and baking. I also enjoy spending time with my husband and son. I am excited about the opportunity to care for and show my creativity and love to your families. I am confident that I will be a great fit for ensuring that your little ones have a wonderful time learning, exploring, and having fun.

I love being a sitter because kids truly bring me so much joy. They’re honest, full of energy, and so fun to be around. Caring for children is also my way of serving the Lord and using the gifts He’s given me. I have a lot of experience working with children of all ages. I’ve worked at a gymnastics gym where I coached various age groups, and I helped raise my younger brother until he was about five years old. I’ve also been a summer camp counselor for the past three years, which has strengthened my leadership and childcare skills. I hold CPR, First Aid, and AED certifications, as well as a ServSafe certification, so I’m trained to handle and prepare food safely. I have many skills and experiences that make me a strong and dependable candidate for your family.

I have worked professionally as a preschool teacher on and off since 2008. My most recent position was held in 2024, working with infants. Over the course of my time as a preschool teacher, I have worked with children of all ages. During my time, I have gone through childhood education courses, as well as first aid/CPR courses, receiving my certification. In addition, I have experience working as a private nanny; mostly working with infants and toddlers. I have a lot of personal experience with pet sitting and pet caregiving, so I am comfortable with pets. Aside from being the main one who upkeeps my living space, I have a background in housekeeping. I spent some time working inside of a veteran home (assisted living) cleaning resident rooms and common areas with cross training in laundry, so I am comfortable with household chores. I have my own insured vehicle. I am willing to pass a background check. I do not smoke or drink. I do not have children yet, but I do hope to be a mother someday. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to ask! I look forward to speaking with you!

My name is Cathy and I have been working with children for over 30 years. My grandmother was the director of the First United Methodist Nursey School in Santa Monica, California where I would spend days playing and reading to children starting at the age of 13. I nannied for 6 month old twins in the summer of my junior year of high school and for two older children full time the following summer. In college I worked at Greenlake After School Program in Seattle as a teaching assistant for ages 5-12 years my junior and senior years. In the summers during college I traveled back to California where I worked again at the nursery school as a teacher for the three year old group. My responsibilities included playground supervision, art and reading activities, lunch prep and nap time supervision. I graduated from the University of Washington and moved to Spokane where I worked at the YMCA in the three year old room and substituted in the infant room frequently. I married into the military and had three children of my own who are now in their teens. We have all frequently helped watch children of our military friends and still help babysit as well as pet sit/ foster. I have been certified in first aid and CPR numerous times and can provide references upon request. Put simply, I love being around children! They are such a joy and I find happiness in helping provide a safe and nurturing environment for them to learn and grow. I respect their feelings and feel confident in my ability to provide a routine with structure, yet can adjust to their needs if the occasion arises with patience and care.
