Find experienced child care providers in Oakland, TN

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.

I’m working towards a business degree to become a financial advisor. I love taking care of others. I was previously in pre-med until I was in a car accident that broke my back, and I am now unable to pursue that career path. I have 0 years of paid experience, however I have a few years of experience by watching the little kids in my neighborhood (ages 4-10). I am CPR and First-Aid certified. I have my own vehicle, I easily connect with children, and babysitting has always been a passion of mine. I also took care of my grandmother while she was sick before she passed. I take care of animals as well. Feel free to set up a call so we can discuss care needs!

Hello! My name is Autumn and I am 27 years old. I began babysitting/nannying at the age of 15 and have done it consistently ever since. I have experience working personally with families and in daycare settings as well. Here's a bit of my story: I babysat and nannied full time from age 14 until I moved to SC in 2019 at 20 years old and loved every minute of it! Once we moved to SC I got a job at the Air Force Youth Center where I worked with school age children. I eventually transferred over to the Child Development Center where I was an infant teacher for two years. My husband has since separated from the Air Force and we relocated to Tennessee to be with family in 2022. I have been CPR/first aid certified through the air force and most recently through Baptist Health University. I am currently an infant teacher at a daycare now. I would be more than happy to provide references as I have worked for two families using Care. Please let me know if I can assist your family at any time!

Hello! I’m someone who genuinely loves working with children and creating spaces where they can grow, learn, and feel secure. I’ve always had a natural connection with kids — teaching, guiding, and helping them explore the world around them is something I truly enjoy. I started babysitting at the age of twelve for church members and I’ve loved it ever since. This helped me get into the career path of being a teacher at Faith Lutheran Preschool in Collierville, TN. I also find it therapeutic to keep a child’s environment clean and functional— when their space feels calm and organized, it helps them (and parents!) feel more at ease. I’m happy to help with light household duties such as meal prep, homework help, pet care, and care for little ones who aren’t feeling well. Families describe me as dependable, patient, and nurturing. My goal is to make your home feel supported and your children cared for as if they were my own!
