Little Guests Knoxville is a professional on-site childcare and nanny service for weddings and special events. We bring everything needed to keep little ones entertained, happy, and safe while the grown-ups celebrate stress-free.

We’re based in Knoxville, Tennessee and serve East Tennessee and the surrounding areas, including Maryville, Sevierville, Gatlinburg, the Tri-Cities, and beyond. We’re available to travel for the right event.

We handle weddings, receptions, rehearsal dinners, holiday parties, corporate events, family reunions, and more. If you’re hosting an event where kids will be guests, we can help.

The earlier the better! We recommend booking at least four weeks ahead to secure your date, but we’ll always try to accommodate last-minute events when possible.

Yes! Travel within 30 miles of Knoxville is included. For events farther away, a small travel fee applies.

We coordinate with your planner or venue ahead of time to determine the best space for the kids’ area right on site. Our team arrives early to set up a fun, safe environment and handles all cleanup afterward.

No. Our childcare is designed to help parents enjoy the event while staying nearby. A parent or guardian must remain on the event premises while their child is with Little Guests Knoxville. This is both for safety and because our insurance policy requires a responsible adult to remain on site.

We can work with whatever space is available. A quiet room or sectioned-off area works best, but we’re flexible and can adapt to different setups. Our highest priority is the safety and security of the children at every event. Having a designated area ensures that parents and caregivers aren’t confused about who is responsible for the children, especially if kids are able to move back and forth between our area and the event space.

Yes! All Little Guests caregivers are fully background checked, reference-verified, and CPR/First Aid certified. Most are moms and/or educators with years of childcare experience.

We follow a safe, industry-standard child-to-caregiver ratio based on the ages attending. For example, one caregiver per 3 infants or 5 to 6 older children. We’ll confirm your staffing plan when you book, and any additional caregivers needed are communicated and quoted transparently in advance.

Yes. Little Guests Knoxville is fully insured, giving you and your venue complete peace of mind while we care for your smallest guests.

We welcome children from 6 weeks to 12 years old. Our activities and play setups are tailored to the age range of each event’s guest list.

We keep kids busy and happy with age-appropriate crafts, games, sensory play, toys, storytime, and more. Every event setup is unique, so activities can be customized to fit your theme or venue space.

We can! Snacks are available as an optional add-on. If parents prefer to pack their own, we’re happy to serve what you provide. We take food allergies seriously and keep all snacks nut-free. Most caterers provide a child’s meal option that we are happy to help serve to children.

Please send your child with any personal essentials: diapers or pull-ups, wipes, a change of clothes, a bottle or sippy cup, and a comfort item if needed.

Of course! Parents are always welcome to stop by or send someone to check in. We also use a strict sign-in/sign-out system so you always know your child’s safety is our top priority.

Yes. A non-refundable $550 base reservation fee is required to secure your date. The remaining balance is due 14 days before your event.

Of course! We just ask for final numbers 10 days before the event so we can staff appropriately and prepare enough supplies.

Yes! From themed craft stations to extended evening care, we love customizing your experience. Tell us your vision and we’ll make it happen.
