Colleen M., Child Care in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 20 years of paid experience

In addition to being a mom of 2 adult sons, I am a full time nanny with 20+ years of experience and with all ages. Even though I chose to go back to school and graduate as a Medical Assistant when my boys were little, it only took a few years working within the hospital to confirm my true passion is nurturing and helping little ones grow. Since then I have added caring for children with health conditions to my experience. Being accepted as part of a family, fostering a child’s development emotionally and developmentally, and teaching a kiddo through adventure and experiences is a true blessing. I am open to light housework and meal prep as needed. I have a safe driving record, and a safe and reliable vehicle. I firmly believe in open communication and punctuality. If structured learning, just a day of fun, or a healthy combo is what you are looking for I look forward to the opportunity to become a part of your family, not just an employee.

Sarah W., Child Care in Knoxville, TN 37919 with 0 years of paid experience

Hi! My name is Sarah, and I am so excited to introduce myself. I am a wife and a mama to the sweetest little boy, and being a mother has truly been the greatest joy of my life. Caring for children isn’t just something I’m good at — it’s something I deeply love. There is no greater privilege than being trusted with someone’s child, and I don’t take that lightly. I’m 21 years old and have been a stay-at-home mom since May of 2024. This season of life has taught me patience, creativity, flexibility, and just how important it is for children to feel safe, heard, and loved. Now that my son has started daycare and is building special friendships of his own, I feel ready and excited to pour that same love and care into another family. I come from a big family — one of four siblings — and I have enough nieces and nephews to make up a full football team! Being surrounded by children of all ages has given me natural experience with different personalities, routines, and stages of development. I’ve also worked at a daycare where I learned how to balance structure and fun while maintaining a safe, nurturing environment. In addition, I volunteered at my church, which further strengthened my heart for guiding and encouraging children. I am CPR and First Aid certified and have a reliable vehicle for safe transportation if needed. I’m comfortable multitasking household responsibilities while making sure the children in my care always feel like the priority. I value open communication, consistency, and creating a calm, loving atmosphere. More than anything, I’m not just looking to be “a nanny.” I would truly love to become an extension of your family — someone your children feel safe with, someone you trust fully, and someone who celebrates the little milestones right alongside you. Thank you so much for considering me. I would be honored to be part of your family’s journey.

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.

I have worked with chromosome deficiency, ADHD, ADD, and Downs Syndrome. I have 40 years of experience working with children of all ages.
