Meet college nannies and sitters from Tennessee Technological University

Hi! My name is Aleeya, I am 23 years old, and I have a strong passion for working with children and supporting families by creating a safe, structured, and positive environment. I was raised in an in-home daycare run by my mom, where I was surrounded by children of all ages from a young age. Watching her care for and support so many families shaped my understanding of child development, patience, and responsibility, and it’s a big reason I love what I do. I hold a Bachelor’s degree focused in Family Sciences and Psychology and am certified in Trauma-Informed Care. This background allows me to better understand children’s emotional and behavioral needs and create an environment where they feel safe, supported, and confident. I have hands-on experience as a full-time nanny for a family with three children (ages 6 months to 5 years), where I managed daily routines, meals, naps, transportation, and engaging, age-appropriate activities. I’ve also worked in daycare settings and currently coach a 14U volleyball team, which has strengthened my ability to mentor, lead, and connect with kids in a structured and encouraging way. I was also a collegiate volleyball player at the Division I level, which has shaped my strong work ethic, leadership skills, and ability to stay organized and dependable. I love incorporating fun, active play into my time with kids and encouraging confidence, teamwork, and healthy habits. Outside of childcare, I love being outdoors and staying active—whether that’s going on walks, playing outside, or spending time in the sun. I enjoy creating fun, engaging experiences for kids that keep them moving and having fun. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to support families with cooking, light cleaning, organizing, and running errands. I enjoy helping keep the household running smoothly and making life a little easier for busy parents. I pride myself on being reliable, patient, and proactive. I communicate openly with parents and aim to be someone families can fully trust with their children. I would love the opportunity to support your family!

I’m a nurturing caregiver with over 10 years of experience in early childhood care, specializing in ages 0 to 3. My background includes serving as Assistant Director and infant teacher at an early learning center and assisted in the launch a new early learning facility—experiences that shaped my thoughtful, heart-centered approach to care. Families often describe me as warm, kind, and deeply attentive. The safety, comfort, and education, along with parents peace of mind are my main priorities when I nannying any child in my care. I strive to create calm, engaging environments where little ones can thrive and feel secure, and I take pride in supporting each child’s unique growth and development. With a tender spot in my heart for both children and seniors, I bring a gentle grace to caregiving that’s rooted in purpose. My Southern upbringing taught me the value of connection, compassion, and showing up with love and dedication both qualities I carry into EVERY home I serve. My time working at PBS Kids also opened a unique opportunity to dive into children’s education and learn creative teaching styles. I look forward to bringing peace of mind, dependable support, and meaningful care to a family who values trust and high-quality caregiving. a little about me, I ... - love the outdoors - am as holistic as possible - workout regularly - enjoy cooking and serving people - give back frequently - loveeee teaching and educating - I am a Project manager by day in healthcare
