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.

Kristin G., Child Care in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 0 years of paid experience

Hi there! My name is Kristin and I am 27 years old. I have 10 years of childcare experience including my wonderful 7-year-old daughter! I believe the actions and words we use today will mold our children for who they will be in the future! That is why I'm passionate about advocating for children and supporting them in developing a positive outlook on life. My expertise includes behavioral disorders, allergies/dietary restrictions, and the ability to empathize as well as set boundaries. I am also in the process of becoming CPR/First aid certified. My preferred age to care for would be 0-4 years of age. However, I am open to, and enjoy working with, kids of all ages! My goal as a caregiver is to make your day-to-day life a little easier. I'm happy to help with light housekeeping, cooking/meal prep, schoolwork, and other responsibilities related to your children. I'm fully vaccinated and looking for the same in my future employers. Thank you so much for reading, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Jameela D., Child Care in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 2 years of paid experience

I grew up in a big family with 7 sisters. Being one of the oldest, taking care of kids has always been in my life. From babysitting for friends and my community, to managing a kid's cooking studio, I have gathered a lot of experience. I have babysat for children as young as 6 months and as old as 16. The cooking studio gave me opportunities to teach kids life skills while giving parents free time to take a break and relax. I currently am a licensed RBT working with kids with autism and have been enjoying aspects of the field but I would love to have a more personal experience and help make an impact on a family. The training I went through to gain this certification has given me the ability to identify functions of behavior and the tools to deal with them in the best individualized way for each child. I will be renewing my CPR and First Aid certification as of 4/16/26 in order to get a refresher on those skills in my repertoire. On a more personal note, I am a very organized mind that operates off of lists and schedules while maintaining a fun and enjoyable environment. I would love to help teach children life skills and emotional regulation while also taking things off of parents' plates so they can connect more with their families. I'm really excited for this next part of this journey and thank you all for this opportunity! I hope to hear from you soon!
