Hello! My name is Joyce, and I have over 20 years of experience providing dependable, loving, and attentive care for children of all ages, from newborns to school-aged kids. Caring for children isn't just my job—it's something I truly enjoy and take pride in. I create a safe, nurturing, and engaging environment where children can learn, grow, and have fun. I enjoy planning educational activities, reading, arts and crafts, outdoor play, and helping with homework. I believe in building strong, trusting relationships with both children and parents through open communication, patience, and reliability. Families describe me as caring, trustworthy, organized, and dependable. I understand how important it is for parents to have peace of mind, and I strive to provide the highest level of care every day. Whether you're looking for full-time, part-time, or occasional childcare, I would love the opportunity to support your family and become a positive part of your children's lives.

Joyce was our nanny for five years, caring for our twin boys, and we truly couldn't have asked for a better person. She quickly became part of our family, and the love and care she showed our boys were exceptional. Our twins absolutely adored Joyce, and so did my wife and I. She was patient, dependable, trustworthy, and always went above and beyond to make sure our boys were safe, happy, and thriving. She kept them engaged with fun, educational activities, encouraged positive behavior, and treated them with the same love and attention she would her own family. As parents, there is no greater comfort than knowing your children are in caring and capable hands. Joyce gave us that peace of mind every single day. She was always punctual, professional, and communicated with us openly about our children's progress and daily activities. After five wonderful years, we can confidently say that Joyce is one of the best caregivers anyone could hope for. We are forever grateful for the love, dedication, and positive impact she had on our family. I recommend her without hesitation to any family looking for an outstanding nanny. She will be an incredible blessing to your family, just as she was to ours.

Denise C., Child Care in Oakland, TN 38060 with 25 years of paid experience

I graduated from UNC in 2005 with a degree in philosophy and psychology, and I have taken many child development classes. I'm interested in the environment and working with kids. I have been baby-sitting regularly for 25 years. I am willing to provide references upon request but would prefer not to post any online.  I was a preschool teacher and have worked with children of all ages, but primarily with ages 1-5.  I like cooking and craft activities and enjoy being outside.  I have done overnight baby-sitting and traveled with families.  I am willing to baby-sit for large families or two families together - I am used to working with a group of six at school and enjoy working with larger groups of children.  I currently work full time as a nanny but am available in the evenings, weekends, and for overnights for baby-sitting.  I am also available to transport your child from your home to your child's school.  I enjoy seeing children learn and show passion in whatever is interesting to them.  I love watching children grow and figure things out - it's so exciting to me to see a child who was struggling with something conquer it!  I love to hear a child tell me all about something that is interesting to them.  I believe that adults learn from children as much as children learn from adults, and I look forward to opportunities to learn from your kids. I am comfortable with all kinds of pets and don't mind doing pet care while I'm baby-sitting. I am also an experienced pet-sitter.

Denny cared for our 2 year-old daughter with a lot of attention and eased our minds about hiring a sitter. She didn't turn on the TV once, which I really appreciated! She arrived on time and as an added bonus, gave our cat some loving snuggles :) Highly recommend!

Sydney B., Child Care in Oakland, TN 38060 with 8 years of paid experience

I have a passion for working with children. I have a degree specializing in child development - specifically child psychology and expressive arts therapy. I’ve spent the last 8 years nannying and teaching music. My goal is to foster a tailored environment for each child in my care, as all children learn and grow differently. I believe a well balanced combination of unstructured child-led exploration(ie make believe, pretend play, dancing etc) and structured activities (ie educational content, crafts, reading etc) creates an atmosphere where children thrive. I follow “gentle parenting” practices and encourage age-appropriate communication and redirection when necessary.
