Hello! I am Krislyn Mercer. Welcome to my website where you can find everything I’m involved in as well as links. Use the arrow to the right to navigate through my different pages. About me: I am a young Robertson County native who has a passion for helping others. Currently, I currently have two main ways I am serving.

First, I own my business Krislyn’s Kiddos and Furry Friends. I nanny, babysit, pet sit, and tutor. It is the joy of my life and I began that in October of 2018. I am also hiring for team members to join me!

Secondly, I own an Etsy shop called Nash Style Expression. There I design and upload clothing from a print on demand company. Someone orders something and it gets printed and shipped directly so there is no waste. I started that in January of 2022.

Below are my socials and ways to contact me. My email is krislynbmercer@gmail,com

Krislyn’s Kiddos & Furry Friends

NANNYING - BABYSITTING - PETCARE - TUTORING

Hello! Thanks for stopping by. In 2018 I decided to make a change and work in a career I was truly passionate about and would align with my “future” at the time. It became the best decision I ever made and I will forever be glad I stepped out of my comfort zone to try something new.

I have years of experience in childcare. I am CPR/First Aid/AED/Infant Specialty Certified. I carry a life vac and first aid kit in my car or nanny bag at all times. I have skills in special needs care, speech development, Montessori styles, and more.

What is a nanny bag? A nanny bag has all of the things I have collected that your kids are guaranteed to love. My bag includes but isn’t limited to: bubble machine, paper, paint, water balloons, chalk, temporary tattoos, markers, balloons, books, crayons, pens, fidget toys, and more!

Having a true passion for what I do makes it feel less like a job and more like a hobby. I love getting to interact in home with children and pets daily.

Some of my most memorable moments as a nanny would be traveling to Colorado, Barbados, Mexico, Jacksonville, West Palm Beach, Hawaii, and Gatlinburg with families I work for. My most proud moments include going to present to classrooms. Getting to share my passion, drive, and support with the next generation is such a privilege and I am happy to schedule and make that happen anytime I can.

I am currently hiring for a childcare/petcare provider! Email me at kkff2024year@gmail.com for more details.

KK&FF Gallery

Hello! I appreciate you taking the time to check this out. I began my Etsy page in January 2022 after being influenced from the shop @LunaLucida as well as YouTubers. It became a creative outlet for me. I enjoy designing and being known for wearing my own T-shirts. I hope you check out the links below and join me in this amazing journey!

I offer a variety of products for all size, gender, age. Please reach out to me if you have any questions. I would be happy to help you design something.

My favorite aspect of this business is that it is a print on demand company. I don’t have back stock, or wasted product. Does that mean longer ship times? Yes, but it also means no waste!

Run 🏃‍♀️

Back in September of 2022 I decided to do a run. After that I felt not only the physical but also the mental benefits it held. From there I began to run a little more, a little harder, etc.

On NYE 2022 I ran my first 5k, the “frostbite 5k” in Gallatin. It was tough. Not only because it was my first but also because I was sick. Despite the odds against me I ended up finishing my first race, getting 3rd in my age group, and getting to participate in the polar plunge afterwards!

From there I decided I wanted to complete at least 1 5k a month.

January- Thin Mint Sprint in Ashland City
I got a new Personal Best, and 3rd in my age group

February- Cupids Chase in Nashville
I got a new personal best

March- Scheduled “Time to Paddy” in Gallatin TN

April- Scheduled “MS walk” in Nashville TN
Scheduled “5k @ 5pm Virtual Race”

SURPRISE, if you didn’t know already, I am an ordained minister! When I tell people, the #1 question I get asked is “why?!”. My answer is always “Why not?!”!

I did this online on a whim one night and I’m so glad I did. It’s an awesome opportunity and really cool to be able to offer to others.

Whether that looks like doing a friends wedding, a travel wedding, or anything in between count me in!
