A little bit about me

Hello! My name is Care Ives and I live in the North Knox area! My husband and I have been here for 4 years now and have absolutely fallen in love with this city and its people. Throughout high school and college, I nannied when I wasn’t at school. Caring for my kids, helping them with homework and experiencing life through their eyes made my days at school so much brighter. I lifeguarded in the summers when I wasn’t nannying so up until 2018, I was fully CPR and Frist Aid certified through both Red Cross and the YMCA. My certs are no longer up to date (they are very expensive to maintain) but, as I’m sure you know, those skills never really leave you— especially when you’ve had to put them to use in real life. Because of my extensive work experience in schools, in pools and nannying, I have worked with a wide range of development levels as well as ages. I’ve loved every one of the kids I’ve worked with and would be so excited to have the honor of working with yours!

A little bit about me

I grew up in a big family (7 siblings) so I started watching my younger siblings and then nieces and nephews at an early age. Professionally speaking, I have 9 years experience working in several child care settings with newborns-age 13. I've been a daycare teacher, piano teacher, tutor, and nanny. I've been a full time nanny for 4 years now. I truly love children and have a passion for teaching. I graduated with a Bachelors degree in Education with focus on early childhood. I strongly believe in the importance of play based learning and allowing the child to follow their interests with guidance. I enjoy planning educational activities, doing crafts, reading, playing games, and being outdoors as much as possible. I'm all about taking them on trips to local parks, zoos, libraries, etc.

A little bit about me

Hi!
I'm Stashia (pronounced Stay-Sha).
I'm 28 and full of life and happiness.
I've been taking care of kids, dogs, and people for quite some time as I'm just that "nurturing " type I suppose.
I don't have any kids of my own, but have taken care of others from 13.
I have two dogs.
I don't smoke and I have my own car. I'm not a felon and have never been incarcerated.
I have Crohns Disease, Systematic Lupus , EDS, POTS, Dysautonomia and Endometriosis, so I have never been able to be in a normal 9-5 job like I wanted to because of my doctors appointments, crazy fatigue and pain. Despite all of this, you'd never be able to tell I was sick by looking or interacting with me because I'm also so goofy and chipper.
I am an entrepreneur and businesswoman, but kids and animals are my heart.
That's a little about me and hopefully it gives you a more comfortable feeling towards me.
I hope to speak with you soon!
Please check out my products and support me.

A little bit about me

Hello my name is alyssia but I go by lyssa. As of right now I’m working for heartland service. I work with special need elderly. I make meals, clean bathe and do all the other things the individual need me to do. I love taking care of kids, elderly and pets.

I truly believe being a nanny will take some of that stress off of your shoulders!

Recent reference

"Linsey is very friendly, warm and caring. She is responsible and dependable and I never worried for a second when she was taking care of my three young children. She went out of her way to make daily schedules, to organize fun activities and always incorporated learning into fun. My kids loved her! She stopped working for us when she had her first baby and we were sad to see her go. I know she will be a great addition to your family if you are lucky enough to have her work with you."

A little bit about me

As a caregiver, my passion lies in nurturing the growth and development of your kids. I have a patient and calm demeanor and my ability to make simple daily tasks fun are what separates me from other caregivers. I believe in open communication with parents, and regularly providing updates on activities throughout the day.
Engaging with your children in a meaningful way is very important to me and I work closely with families to establish that bond with your child. Your family time is also precious and if there is anything else I can do while your baby and children sleep(s) , like washing bottles, and light housework, that is the full service care that I like to provide families with. I look forward to meeting you and your children :)
