Annie S., Child Care in Portland, TN 37148 with 13 years of paid experience

Hi there! I’m Annie — a compassionate, experienced childcare provider with over 13 years of hands-on experience caring for children from newborns to pre-teens. I’ve always loved being a sitter because I see every child as their own little universe — full of curiosity, creativity, and potential. Getting to support that growth and help them feel safe, seen, and confident is what keeps me passionate about this work. My childcare journey has included everything from full-time nannying and multiple overnight stays to classroom work as a one-on-one special education assistant. I’ve supported children with behavioral disorders, ADHD, autism, and trauma backgrounds, and I’m skilled at creating calm, structured, and nurturing environments where kids can thrive. In addition to my years of experience, I bring patience, emotional intelligence, and strong communication skills. I’m CPR and First Aid trained, have reliable transportation, and pride myself on being dependable, creative, and engaged — whether we’re doing crafts, reading stories, or exploring outdoors. If you’re looking for someone who balances warmth with professionalism and truly loves helping children grow, I’d love to connect with your family.

I have over 20 years experience watching children of all ages.  I was a foster parent several years ago.  I do know first aid and safety, where I learned CPR for infants and children as well as anti-choking techniques. My major in college was Elementary Education, but I have since changed it to Child Psychology. I love kids of all ages.  I enjoy a hands on approach and love to get down on a child's level.

For two years I was a nanny, and I believe in a very gentle approach that quietly stimulares the baby. I also babysat in church nurseries but I far prefer being able to give one on one time.

I'm a nuturing person at heart and I love protecting people. I am a very fun loving and happy person and im responsible and will follow guidelines set by you! I do not have my license or my own car sadly but I am working to save up for that! I am available for weekdays or weekends whatever works best for you and for however long you need me! I will try my best to attend to your childs needs and care. I know when it comes to trusting someone with ur kid it's hard because you dont know them but trust me I know how it is! I follow the golden rule and treat others with respect and compassion. I can be energetic sometimes and laid back at other times but i am also a rule follower and an A+ Student. I love people of all kinds and I am an ambivert so you get the best of both worlds! I love to teach and help as much as I can whenever I can and am able to. Even when its hard I try my best to look at the positive and continue to push forward. I love movies and playing outside with others while also enjoying food and every kind of sprite flavor possible 😂 I hope we can have the best experience together and I cant wait to hopefully take care of your child/children.
