A little bit about me

With a heart for little ones.. I’m a blessed momma to 4 kids 22-27 & married to my crush for 31 years. Recently moved to West Hills, Knoxville, TN from Traverse City, MI. My passion is supporting children in a loving, structured environment. As a former stay-at-home mom, our home was the playdate/sleepover house from pre-K to college—affectionately named “Camp S.” because neighborhood kids were there every day! I miss the piles of shoes & mismatched socks at my front door. I thrive in active environments. I adore babies & bring decades of experience with infant care, soothing & milestones. I offer the seasoned judgment & calm demeanor that comes from raising my own family. I have my own transportation & safe driving record. CPR/First Aid updates are in progress. I offer overnight care. Love reading, the creative arts & nature. Looking forward to partnering with your family, supporting your parenting style, & creating a safe, joyful environment for your little ones. With warmth, Kim S.

More About Me

Relevant experience where I also cared for children were...

My relevant experience is rooted in a lifelong calling. While every little boy and girl has big dreams, mine was always to be—and today continues to be—a mommy. Now, as my youngest turns 22 and my own four children are grown—in graduate school, a maritime academy, a medical career, and pursuing independence—my nest is empty. I am excited to begin this new chapter and partner with a working family as a nanny or "Nana" to love on your most treasured gifts. My childcare journey began at thirteen as a babysitter. As a stay-at-home mother, I remained deeply involved by volunteering in my children's classrooms, assisting teachers, and supporting students. Over the decades, I have happily looked after many children of all ages. Today, I continue to provide regular, loving care for my nieces' and nephews' sweet little ones during family visits, keeping my infant care skills active and sharp. I bring a seasoned patience into your home to ensure your children feel completely safe and loved.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

Reading, playing games, puzzles, playing dolls, playing with shapes, building blocks, molding clay, and trains. I absolutely love coloring alongside children and getting creative with them. For outdoor fun, I enjoy taking children to the park, going on walks with them, exploring children’s & science museums and zoos. As a huge baker myself, I love introducing age-appropriate baking, sensory play, and simple arts and crafts to keep little hands happily busy—in fact, one of my own grown sons learned right alongside me all those years and is quite a chef and baker today! I am deeply interested in anything educational that engages children and sparks their curiosity. Because two of my children were heavily involved in singing and musical theatre, I’m a big fan of creativity—everything from dressing up and putting on plays to impromptu concerts and make-believe. My other two children loved sports, so while I am no athlete, I’m always happy to kick a ball around or play catch in the yard!

The most important part about being a nanny...

For me, caring for someone’s most treasured gifts is a profound privilege rooted in love, compassion, trust, and mutual respect. I treat the safety and well-being of your children as my absolute highest priority every single day, caring for them with the exact same devotion, warmth, and protective maternal instinct that I continue to give to my own four children—because they will always be my babies. Being a nanny is far more than a job to me; it is a commitment to providing a secure, nurturing environment where children feel completely safe, loved, and seen. I see myself as a true partner to working parents, dedicated to seamlessly supporting your family's routines while bringing a seasoned patience and joyful energy into your home to help your little ones thrive.
