Knoxville Moms, I have a gift for you!
Hey y’all, my name is Kendall Shields and I am a senior student at The University of Tennessee. Throughout my 4 years at UT, I have been lucky enough to have been mentored by some amazing women in the Knoxville area, many of whom have had young children. Therefore, I have gotten to see first-hand, how hard it can be to schedule those girlfriend lunch-dates, coffee chats, women’s bible studies, or even just a few hours alone to get some work done with those cute little distractions by your side.
I would love nothing more than to lift this burden for you, Mom! I am offering my childcare services, free of charge, in order to open up space for those life-giving conversations and restful reunions you deserve.
A little bit about me!
- I am from Austin, TX, and may still have a slight allegiance to my longhorns (oops!)
- I just finished up my swimming career at UTK, so let me know if your kiddos could use some swimming lessons this spring!
- I have many years of experience in KIDS ministry at my local churches and have spent countless hours babysitting some dear family and friends.
- I am graduating in May with a degree in Management and Data Analytics, and will be getting married in October!
If you are interested, the best way to reach me is either via text or email. I am available between 11am and 2pm on weekdays and on weekends. I look forward to introducing myself more formally as well as meeting your little ones soon :).

Hi! Thanks for visiting Knoxville Moms Blog and taking the time to get to know me and my art! I am a Knoxville based photographer and work with natural lighting. I love that the curiosity of my Kodak film camera at age 7 has developed into a passion and greater appreciation finding treasures through my lens that my clients can look back, laugh, smile and say that was a good day! I love when a mom says I captured their child’s true personality and I get that candid moment stolen in time. Contact me if you are interested in booking your photo shoot! I’d love to work with you and your family!

My name is Jennifer, and I am a locally based travel specialist focusing on Disney vacations. I have always believed that happy memories are among the most cherished gifts we can give to those we love. For my own family, I have used my care and skills as a organizer and planner with our own vacations as way of expressing my love and helping create memories saturated with happiness to last a lifetime. Embracing my gifts professionally, I have joined a team of well regarding vacation planning professionals at Cupcake Castles Travel Company – because who doesn’t love cupcakes?! – which is an Authorized Disney Vacation Planner group. My duty as a travel specialist is to take all the guesswork and stress out of planning fabulous vacations by providing white-glove concierge service to make sure you have the best possible experience! While I am a local, my office is where I have an internet connection, and I can help people all across the nation.
BENEFITS OF WORKING WITH ME AS A DISNEY VACATION PLANNER
Quote Consultations
You, as an interested client, contact to me about being interested in a Disney destination*– maybe for a family vacation, a couple’s getaway, a girls’ trip, or whatever you have in mind.
I take into consideration when you want to travel, who is traveling, and what overall experience you want to have – theme park warrior, restful resort stay, or somewhere in between. I’ll find the best available options for you – checking for resort discounts or discounts that may apply if you modify your dates of travel. I’ll provide you quotes for several options; if those don’t work, I’ll keep working until I find the best fit for your family.
With 31 different resort options on the Walt Disney World Resort property alone, it’s hard to figure out what is the best for your needs. As a trained professional, I can help you find the perfect fit for your vacation goals.
* Disney Destinations include Walt Disney World Resort, Disney Cruises, Disneyland Resort, Aulani Resort, or an Adventure by Disney (worldwide destinations) – did you know Disney is not just a theme park?!
Booking Services
After our quote consultation, you decide the best option for your Disney vacation needs.
Then, I will do the work of contacting Disney to book your reservation while making sure you are getting the best possible price for your vacation. After initial booking, I will then monitor for additional discount offers that Disney offers and apply them to your booking.
Itinerary Planning
Yay, we’ve booked a Disney vacation for you!! Now what?!
You are overwhelmed – all of Disney’s destinations have tons of different options from theme park attractions, VIP tours, and FastPass+ selections; to spas, golfing, shopping or relaxing; and on to shows and dining. How are you going to pick, and how much time are you going to have to devote to planning or making/changing reservations?
I got this – no worries! I’ll be your personal concierge through the process by consulting about what you and your family would like to do and advise about different attractions, shows, dining, or experiences that might be of interest to you. I will be the one on the computer or on the phone working to get you the best reservations available. I’m happy to plan your day within the parks in a step-by-step guide to make sure you see everything while limiting wait times. You will be able to maximize your vacation and take the stress out of what to do next because it will already be planned out for you!
Concierge Service
You will be able to contact me via email, call, or text with questions regarding your vacation, changes that need to made, details on attractions or experiences, VIP and special experiences to enhance your vacation, or simple advice on what would be best. I’m here to make sure that you and yours have the most magical experience! With expert knowledge and experience, I will be able to help you from quoting, to booking, to itinerary development, and everything between when you begin researching until the time you arrive home.
How Much Do Your Planning Services Cost
Nothing! This comprehensive, client-focused planning is complimentary to you when allowing me to book your vacation for you!
For the Disney Pros That Don’t Need Help…
So, you’ve done Disney several times; you are a Disney pro and have made FastPass+ selections, dining reservations, and excellent itineraries on all your family’s trips – awesome! I’m a take-charge person too! However, I can still book for you, monitor and apply discounts, and give you heads up to new and excited Disney news to help you plan. Or, say you are busy on the FastPass+ selection day – no worries, I’ve got your back!
Looking forward to life’s adventures and journeys,
Jennifer Ollis

I began my journey of caring for families during their transition into parenthood after spending more than a decade studying childbirth, caring for friends and family, and having my own four children. I truly respect and honor the process of childbirth, and I’m passionate about helping families blossom and grow as they set sail on their own journey of transformation. As a birth doula, I’m committed to providing individual support in a non-judgmental and unconditional way for each family I serve.
Services I offer include Birth Doula, Birth Pool Rentals, Placenta Encapsulation, Bengkung Belly Binding & Childbirth Education Class.
