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.

Hello! My name is Bonnie, but I go by Skylar. I’m a military kid and my dad is a veteran from his 20 year Air Force career and 10 year Naval career. . I’m 18 years old and a college student. 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 take care of animals as well. Feel free to set up a call so we can discuss care needs!

I was born and raised in Tennessee , and find myself always returning. I enjoy the many outdoor activities including zip-lining, running and hiking. I consider myself very outdoorsy, and think it's important to take advantage of this beautiful area. I am also a creative person, so art (more specifically painting) have been a great outlet and passion. I enjoy sharing my love of the outdoors and creativity/art with kids. I have over ten years of experience including babysitting, pre-school teaching and most recently an au pair for a 6 month old baby boy who is now 7. I think it's important to provide children with a fun, fulfilling and enriched environment. I am an enthusiastic and responsible person and look forward to meeting you and your kids!

Hi my name is Kaylee Watkins. A little bit about me is I am currently pursuing a master's degree in social work and hold a bachelor's degree in sociology with a minor in Applied Behavioral Science Concentration. Growing up I cared for all the kids in the family/friends, began to babysit at an early age, worked for a time in the church nursery, and worked as a mental health specialist with the Boys & Girls Club. I am a wife and a mom to two babies + two dogs. So I understand just how challenging it can be to trust another to care for your little. I've always enjoyed being around children as they never fail to keep me on my toes with their actions and wise words. I am CPR certified for all ages. Please if you have any questions, feel free to ask.
