Find experienced child care providers in Oakland, TN

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. I look forward to meeting you!

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 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.
