Find experienced nannies 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.

Anyone who observes me can easily tell that I love kids and that I genuinely am filled with joy by simply being able to help someone. I have 3 incredible nephews and 2 smart nieces that I am grateful for and happy to play a very active roll in all of their lives!

Hi! My name is Kelsey Trice and I do not just love children, but I am passionate about them. I work at a preschool/daycare as a teacher at Roulach’s and have babysat the children of family friends since 2022. I plan on doing a lot of innovative and impactful things in the education system one day because of my love for children. I see children as little reflections of life, constantly reaching us adults new ways to manage, behave, learn, and live our lives the best way. I don’t believe there is one way of watching and nurturing children, but there is a specific way that each child needs to be taken care of that I will always figure out and implement for your children. I hope one day you see my name involved in something positive towards the education system. But until then, I have a passion for watching, observing, and helping children be their best selves. I also have a desire to help parents have an easier flow with their own personal lives. I have worked at a private preschool for almost 2 years now with ages from 1 years old to 6 years old, mostly focused on the 2,3, and 4 year olds. I am in school for Child Development and Family Studies at the University of Memphis, and I previously studied Computer Science at the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga. I am looking to work with multiple families to create a full time schedule. I can potty train, and specialize in lots of arts and crafts. I can also help with homework, teach early education topics, and more. I use technology as a tool, but not something that kids around me depend on, as I feel technology should be secondary to learning, not the opposite way around. I also enjoy tutoring young kids on different topics if needed.

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.

Hello! I'm Jordyn, a senior in college studying Biology who aspires to be a cosmetic dentist. I enjoy being a sitter because it allows me to interact with children, have fun, and brighten their day. I enjoy interacting with children, making the environment exciting and safe, and seeing their faces light up when they are happy and required. Having worked as a babysitter for many years, I can confidently state that every child enjoys spending time with me! Additionally, I spent three years overseeing children at a summer camp, where I developed my abilities to plan activities and make sure they had a fun yet safe time Since I'm qualified in CPR and First Aid, safety is my top concern. I also have a natural ability to keep things tidy and organized, which aids me in providing children with a fun and structured atmosphere. Making every encounter with kids constructive and enriching is my aim. I'm excited to offer your family my enthusiasm, concern, and commitment!
