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.

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.

Hi! I'm CPR certified and have been babysitting since high school, so I have several years of experience caring for kids of all ages. I love creating a fun, safe, and positive environment where kids can play, learn, and just be themselves. I currently work part-time as a dental hygienist and am looking to spend some of my extra time doing something I really enjoy—which is babysitting! My healthcare background has helped me become patient, dependable, and attentive, and I always strive to make both kids and parents feel comfortable. Whether it's playing games, helping with homework, or sticking to bedtime routines, I'm happy to help however I can. I'd love the opportunity to get to know your family!

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.

Hi! My name is Aliyah, and I’m a caring, responsible, and energetic sitter who genuinely enjoys spending time with kids. I love being a sitter because I enjoy creating a fun, positive, and safe environment where children feel comfortable, supported, and cared for. I love getting to know each child’s personality and finding activities they enjoy. I have several years of experience working with children through childcare, private softball lessons, coaching, and mentoring young athletes. I have hands-on childcare experience caring for two girls from newborn through age 6, giving me experience with the different needs and routines of children as they grow. I’m comfortable caring for young children, keeping them entertained, maintaining routines, and providing a safe and nurturing environment. My coaching background has also helped me develop strong communication, patience, leadership, and organizational skills. I’m dependable, attentive, and comfortable taking responsibility for children while their parents are away. I enjoy staying active and engaging kids in age-appropriate activities, whether that means playing outside, doing crafts, reading, or simply having fun together. My goal as a sitter is to make sure every child feels safe, happy, and cared for while giving parents peace of mind knowing their children are in good hands.

I have been working with children for about 5–6 years. I started working at a daycare right after graduating from high school, and since then, I have developed a strong passion for working with children. I love being able to watch children learn, grow, and experience those special “aha” moments when they understand something new. It is rewarding to see how their minds develop and to know that I can play a role in helping them build a strong foundation for their future. I have my Associate’s Degree in Early Childhood Education, and I plan to continue developing my skills and eventually pursue a career within the school system. For now, I am excited to continue working with young children and providing them with knowledge, support, and positive learning experiences each and every day. Working with children is something I truly enjoy, and I look forward to continuing to grow as an educator while making a meaningful impact in their lives. I also do have experience in CPR training and development with children.
