Hi! I am a rising senior at the University of Tennessee, Knoxville, studying Spanish and International Affairs. I have several years of experience working with children of different ages and truly enjoy helping them learn and have fun. I began by assisting at a daycare for children ages 3-5, where I developed a strong appreciation for their curiosity and energy. I've also cared for neighborhood children ages 5-8 and spent last summer volunteering at a summer camp at the Children's Cancer Center in Tampa, working with kids ages 5-12. I'm an active and outgoing person who grew up playing soccer and competing in gymnastics, so I love planning engaging, energetic activities. I'm also organized, responsible, and have strong time management skills. Overall, I love meeting new kids and creating a safe, fun, and positive environment for them.
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.
“Josie’s communication prior to our first booking was great. On the day of, she was on time, courteous, thoughtful, and a natural with our baby boy.”

Hi, I’m Ari and would love to be of assistance to your family! I have 9+ years of experience in Early Childhood Education as an EHS Director/Teacher. I am also a Certified Nursing Assistant. I am a Teacher for VUMC and currently have evening availability during the week with open availability on the weekends. We are the architects of our little one’s brains and children really do learn through play. I enjoy watching the growth and development that happens through positive interactions/experiences when I am implementing age appropriate activities for children. Please, feel free to reach out with any other questions.
“Ari has been an incredible influence on our son’s early development. She was instrumental in helping him potty train at age 2, showing so much patience, encouragement, and care throughout the process. She is warm, attentive, and genuinely loves the children she cares for—you can see it in the special relationship she’s built with him. We trust her wholeheartedly and are so grateful for her. I can’t recommend her enough.”
Hi- My name is Brooke and I am an HR Specialist at a global company. I am offering childcare service for extra income. I have experience sitting for kids since I was 14 years old, who were mainly in the elementary to middle school age range, however I am fine with watching toddlers as well. I used to assist my aunt with toddlers at her in-home daycare. My responsibilities have been summer camp drop off and pick up, crafts, zoo outings, and etc. I have a corgi and a cat, so I am familiar with pets.
