A little bit about me

I am an experienced caregiver. I have worked in the Pre-K classroom as an Assistant Teacher for over 15 years. I have a passion for this profession. I love children and I am a firm believer that learning is capable of all children as long as a routine is done and on a consistent basis. I love watching children learn and experience new things. My long time goal is to own my own daycare in this near future. I am funny and enjoy taking children out for free time. I have lots of compassion, empathy and discipline to teach and to demonstrate love.

More About Me

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

I have worked in Pre-K for more than 15 years Memphis/Shelby County Schools as well as Chicago Public Schools 6+ years. I worked as Assistant Childcare Director for 2 years in Calumet City, IL. I am currently an over night nanny for a 4 year old autism boy. I do have references upon request.

Activities I enjoy doing with children...

I enjoy taking children to the Zoo on free day Tuesday. As well as taking children to local places like Children's Museum to play, to Shelby Farms Christmas Lights and Pink Palace Christmas and IMAX theater. I enjoy picnic in the park with small activities embedded throughout the experience. I enjoy taking children to the library to experience the classroom setting for working while seated. I enjoy doing paint activities, reading interesting books, singing songs and have game nights with the children. I enjoy taking children to local play dates just for fun.

The most important part about being a nanny...

What matters most is that I get to pour into a child's life that is missing the fun, the human inclusion, a broken piece and they can take the smallest act of kindness and show you all the love when they can get your attention.

My experience with special needs children...

I have worked with children with disabilities for 6 years while working for Memphis City Schools before the merger. I worked specifically with autism, ADD, ADHD, and Down Syndrome children.

The most important part about being a nanny...

My most memorable experience was when my autistic child took some food from my plate and ran with it and as I was approaching him to get it back, he stuck it in his mouth really fast and didn't realize it was raw cauliflower with balsamic vinegar, the face he made was priceless. I laughed so hard.

Sharon W. - Seeking Work in Memphis

Live-In Full-Time Nanny Available in Memphis, TN: Sharon W.

With 20+ years of experience, I genuinely love caring for both children and the elderly. I spent 3 years in a private daycare teaching colors, names, and letters, planning fun activities and parties, and serving as the cook. I’ve worked with many families and proudly helped raise 8 grandchildren and 1 great-grandchild. I’ve also cared for elderly clients by helping with bathing, meals, medication reminders, and companionship. I’ve supported individuals with special needs, including autistic children and adults, as well as a deaf child. I bring patience, creativity, and a warm, reliable presence to every family I work with. Formerly CPR certified and happy to renew if needed! I believe in creating joyful, safe spaces where people feel seen and supported—whether I’m playing a game, reading a book, cooking a meal, or just sharing a conversation. It’s more than a job to me—it’s what I’m passionate about, and I’m honored every time a family invites me into their lives.
