Curiosity kills the cat, but it builds the child. Hi, there! My name is Vernicia, “Nici,” and I am 23-years old. I have volunteered in childcare ministry since high school, and have professionally served in childcare settings for 2+ years. While enrolled at the University of Memphis, I majored in Elementary Education, and worked at a local preschool. In this season, I am resting from school due to personal hardship I endured the past two school years. I work full-time as a receptionist at a local car dealership and am most available for childcare in the evenings, while maintaining an occasional and sporadic gig as a babysitter for a family of four, a family of five, a family of six, and more families to come!Throughout college, I have served in various childcare capacities. One summer, I volunteered in the recreational ministry for Bellevue Baptist Church’s one-week Vacation Bible School. Another summer, I traveled to Alaska for a one-week village trip and served alongside the teachers. We engaged with the children in the community through arts and crafts, and sports and games. Within that trip, I also served alongside teachers at a one-week teen Bible camp. At the camp, we engaged in relational and recreational ministry. I had an opportunity to co-lead a small group, and love on the Alaskan natives. Currently, I serve on a bi-weekly schedule as an assistant teacher in the toddler class at my local church. I assist my lead teacher with teaching the kids about Jesus, and take lead as needed.I am an advocate for allowing children to explore their adventurous selves, while maintaining a sense of structure and order in the home. They run? I run. They hide? I hide. They experience big feelings? I sit with them and try my best to help them process how they feel, and verbalize it. Children are malleable, and they carry a sense of innocence and joy that we [adults] lose sight of as we mature into adulthood. As a childcare server, I desire to open my heart and stretch myself to learn from the littles, and carry the attitude of a student. The presence of knowledge-seekers creates the need for teachers. The presence of a child allows me to be a good steward of meeting a need, being a light, and fostering a good relationship with the child. I have a big heart for the youth, and I will care for your children as if they were my own. #nicinee #luhhthekids

Hi, I’m Shay! I’m a recent Health Science graduate from the University of Memphis, and I’m currently preparing to enroll in my Master’s program in Occupational Therapy. My passion for working with children has continued to grow through both my education and hands-on experience. For the past three years, I’ve worked as a sitter for families throughout the Memphis area, gaining experience caring for children of different ages, personalities, and needs. I recently moved to Nashville and am excited to continue providing dependable, caring, and engaging childcare for families in the area. I also have experience working with children with special needs, which has strengthened my passion for creating a safe, supportive, and inclusive environment where every child can feel comfortable and understood. I’m CPR certified and always prioritize your child’s safety, well-being, and happiness. Outside of childcare, I enjoy giving back through community volunteering, spending time with friends and family, and exploring new places. I look forward to getting to know your family and creating a positive experience for both you and your child!
