Caroline L., Child Care in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 4 years of paid experience

Hi, I’m Caroline! I am currently an after-school teacher at Primrose School of Farragut and have several years of experience working with children through both professional roles and babysitting. I hold a CPR certification, a valid driver’s license, and reliable transportation, allowing me to help with pickups, drop-offs, and outings. In addition to teaching, I have worked at Main Event and Defy Parks, where I coordinated children’s birthday parties and group activities, building strong skills in keeping kids engaged, safe, and entertained. I’m passionate about connecting with children, creating fun and meaningful experiences, and continuing to grow in my journey toward becoming a teacher.

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.

Erika C., Child Care 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.

Carly L., Child Care 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.

Alyssa P., Child Care in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 6 years of paid experience

Hi! I recently moved to Knoxville from the Nashville area to attend pharmacy school. I’m currently a PharmD student and serve as a class liaison for my cohort, which has strengthened my communication, organization, and leadership skills. My long-term interests are in pharmacy business and management, but I’ve always had a special interest in pediatrics and really enjoy working with children. Childcare has been part of my life for as long as I can remember. My mom has run a daycare out of our home my entire life, and I’ve worked alongside her with the daycare since I was 16. Because we lived on a farm, I especially loved getting the kids outside, exploring, playing, and sharing some of the whimsy and creativity that comes with growing up around nature. I enjoy helping kids use their imagination, stay curious, and have fun while still keeping a safe and structured environment. I’m CPR and BLS certified, and I also worked as a lifeguard in high school, which gave me additional experience with safety and staying calm in unexpected situations. I’m dependable, patient, and comfortable following each family’s routines and preferences. I’m mainly looking for occasional babysitting, date nights, evenings, weekends, or recurring care that works around my pharmacy school schedule.

Madison E., Child Care in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 5 years of paid experience

Hello! My name is Madison and I'm a recent graduate of the University of Tennessee. I married my long-term partner in May and am excited to spend the next several years working in childcare as I decide, prepare, and save for grad school. I have nannied for several families in the past, caring for children ranging from infancy to pre-teens. I also used to work as an overnight summer camp counselor. That being said, I am very comfortable caring for multiple children at a time. I am currently hoping to find a full-time nanny position with a kind, loving local family. I love children of all ages and the vibrant energy they bring. I'm an active individual and love to go on new adventures. I have recent CPR/AED/first-aid training, though it does need to be formally updated. I'm a native of Blount County, though I currently live in South Knoxville. I enjoy and am comfortable with driving, so a reasonable commute does not bother me. I am very familiar with the surrounding areas and love to provide new experiences for children in my care. I drive a Toyota RAV-4 SUV and carry a clean driving record. Safety is my utmost priority. I can provide recent academic, professional, and personal references. I also have a childcare resume with more details about my past experience. I am always open to furthering education, whether that be taking recommended classes or reading articles and books about your childrens' specific needs. I am comfortable and experienced working with children with varying disabilities as well. I'd love for you to consider me for any and all childcare tasks.

Elise irene C., Child Care 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!
