Meet college nannies and sitters from University of Wisconsin - Madison

Looking for a reliable babysitter for evenings, weekends, or last-minute help? I’m a former elementary school teacher with over five years of classroom experience and a degree in Elementary Education (with a minor in ESL). I’m patient, nurturing, and comfortable caring for multiple children—including neurodivergent kids—thanks to my teaching background. I work full time during the day, but I’m available for evenings, weekends, and last-minute jobs. I’m most experienced with school-aged kids, but I also have experience with toddlers. I love reading with kids, playing outside, and creating fun, engaging activities. I’m also happy to help with homework or light meal prep. I have a reliable car and can provide references upon request. I’m looking to pick up some side jobs doing what I love—spending time with kids!

Hello! I am a nature-based early childhood educator. I recently moved to Nashville from California, where I worked as a lead teacher at Northeast Los Angeles Forest School for three years. I am originally from Wisconsin and have a deep love for the outdoors and the growing movement in education towards incorporating more opportunities for free play in nature. My work is informed and inspired by Reggio-Emilia and Montessori pedagogy, David Sobel, and Piaget. I am passionate about supporting children as they explore the wide world, and I enjoy finding engaging ways to facilitate happy, healthy development. I am a strong believer in the benefits of emergent curriculum and learning through play, and I have experience developing curriculum to support this. I have a bachelor’s degree in social work from the University of Wisconsin, Madison and I am currently working on an MS in psychology from Southern New Hampshire University with a speciality in child and adolescent development. During my senior year of college, I had an internship working at a respite center for children ages 6 and under with special needs, and had the opportunity to develop and implement individualized therapy programs for kids. Prior to this, I spent four years caring for children as young as six weeks and as old as twelve at a child care center in my home town in Wisconsin. It was there that I became a registered lead teacher with the Dept. of Children and Families. I have since taught at two preschools in Los Angeles, taken several continuing education courses and certifications, and conducted private care sessions for individuals and groups. I am Wilderness CPR certified, and I also have a valid license and experience transporting children. Currently, I am looking for part time work while I focus more intensely on my graduate degree. I am eager to finish the program both because I am an enthusiastic learner and so that I can move on to my next goal of starting my own forest school program here in Nashville. I am open to single family care or care-shares with friends, and I can offer academic support as well as creative ideas for engaging and developmentally beneficial activities.

Hello folks! I am Elizabeth and am so excited to meet you! I am happy to offer child care, senior care, and household services. I have a car and am available to help with driving tasks. I have over five years of experience in healthcare. As a float pool nurse, I worked in units all across the age spectrum from adolescent psychiatry to geriatric care. Therefore, I am very comfortable working with children and folks of all ages and abilities. I have my basic and advanced life support licenses and an overall focus on the well-being and joy of those I interact with. Additionally, I have a background in outdoor education. I’ve worked as camp counselor, soccer coach, and as well as a facilitator for team building workshops. I love to be outside and I love to help others explore the world around them in order to discover and grow into themselves. Happy to work with families with dogs, but I am allergic to cats. Thank you!
