A little bit about me
My background includes roles as a nanny, preschool assistant, and children’s ministry leader, where I’ve honed skills in creating engaging activities, maintaining family routines, and ensuring safety through certifications in lifeguarding, CPR, and First Aid. Whether preparing preschool lessons, supervising outdoor play, or supporting schoolwork, I adapt to each child’s unique needs while fostering a warm, supportive environment for growth and development.
When I’m not caring for children, I enjoy spending time with my husband and our two dogs, who keep life fun and full of adventure. I’m passionate about art projects, from crafting to painting, and I love cooking new recipes that bring people together. The outdoors is my favorite place to recharge, whether it’s hiking, exploring nature, or simply enjoying a peaceful day outside. My life is rooted in creativity, connection, and care, values I carry into every family I work with.

A little bit about me
Hi, I’m Rosey! I’m passionate about getting kids outdoors and fostering a love for screen-free fun. From nature walks to imaginative play, I’m dedicated to creating a safe, enriching environment where children can thrive. I look forward to bringing joy and adventure into your home as your nanny!
My passion for taking care of kids started young! I grew up doting on babies at my siblings’ soccer games and started babysitting when I reached high school. When I left for college, I volunteered with an after-school tutoring program (Al’s Pals, University of Alabama) and a STEM education program (STEAM, University of Alabama) for K-5 students until COVID paused those programs. For the remainder of my time in school, I volunteered with an organization in Alabama, Schoolyard Roots, assisting in garden lessons for students K-5. For 3 summers, I also worked as a day and overnight camp counselor for kids aged 4-16..

A little bit about me
Hi! My name is Madelyn Hogan. I am a current Social Work student at UTK (which means I’m in class on Tuesdays and Thursdays of every week). I am 20 years old. I am currently unmarried. I come from a family of six kids so I have some experience with a semi-chaotic house :) I have a 2015 Buick Encore that is regularly serviced. I have 5 years of babysitting, housekeeping, and nannying experience. I currently work at REI in Pigeon Forge, but I am looking for something that requires less of a commute and caters more toward my career interest. I’m not religious but very willing to participate in any faith-based activities or educational needs. I plan to pursue my Master’s in Social Work upon completing my BSW. From there I would like to work as an Academic Advisor and eventually start up a nonprofit that helps long-term rehabilitate people experiencing homelessness. If you have any questions or concerns you can contact me at [phone number hidden]

A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Kat. I am currently a junior at UTK studying retail and merchandising management with a business administration minor. I have a lot of babysitting experience with kids of all ages. I love kids so nannying doesn't feel like a job to me. I am free most days after noon and have a car. I love arts and crafts and being able to do any type of outdoor or indoor activities. I am very reliable and trustworthy.
