In an industry often viewed as a basic necessity rather than a specialized service, All American Sitters has emerged as a true innovator in the world of childcare. Founded by Mrs. Teresa Bowens, a professional with more than two decades of hands-on experience, the company has transformed the way families and event planners think about childcare solutions. By blending professionalism, safety, and creativity, All American Sitters offers families peace of mind and ensures that children are not just supervised, but nurtured and engaged.
The story of All American Sitters is deeply rooted in its founder’s personal journey. Teresa Bowens discovered her calling for childcare at an early age. At 17 just years old, she became a single mother balancing school, work, and motherhood, and seeing other children in childcare settings not being given the same attention or, worse, ignored. Out of necessity and compassion, she opened her first in-home daycare at the age of 18 to help other parents who, like herself, struggled to find affordable, trustworthy, reliable childcare. What began as a response to a need grew into a lifelong mission, one that has expanded to support families at weddings, corporate events, churches and community gatherings. “I wanted to create more than just childcare,” Bowens explains. “I wanted to create an experience where children feel seen, valued, heard and safe, while parents enjoy adult moments.”
All American Sitters specializes in mobile event childcare, a concept that sets the company apart from traditional childcare providers. While many organizations focus solely on daycares or in-home nanny services, All American Sitters has carved out a unique niche: providing exceptional, on-site childcare for weddings, corporate functions, churches and special events. By bringing together the fun and creativity of a kids’ party with the structure and safety of a childcare setting, founder Teresa Bowens has created a whole new way of thinking about childcare at events. This innovation allows parents to fully participate in once-in-a-lifetime occasions, confident that their children are in safe, professional hands. Each sitter is fully vetted, CPR and First Aid certified, and trained to manage the unique dynamics of event settings. This commitment to quality has made the organization a trusted partner for families and event planners alike.
What truly differentiates All American Sitters is its no-electronics policy. Instead of relying on screens to keep children occupied, the team creates an enriching, age-appropriate activities schedule designed to stimulate creativity, teamwork, networking, and fun. From magic shows, arts and crafts to interactive games, the focus is always on engagement and personal growth. This approach not only reassures parents but also reinforces the company’s mission to cultivate meaningful, memorable experiences for children.
The organization’s leadership is equally inspiring. Supported by her husband, Randall, an educator and head coach, Teresa Bowens has built a family-first culture within her company. Their partnership underscores the values of teamwork, mentorship, and community that All American Sitters carries into every event. Together, they have created a brand that embodies Southern hospitality, reliability, and innovation.
Looking to the future, All American Sitters envisions expanding its services into new markets, including collaborations with wedding planners, hotels, and corporate event organizers in major cities like Memphis and Atlanta. No more missing events or leaving the kids behind, now families can bring the whole family and still enjoy every moment. With a strong foundation of trust and innovation, the company’s vision is to become the leading name in mobile event childcare nationwide. “Our goal is to give families and event hosts the freedom to focus on the moment, knowing the children are cared for in the best way possible,” Bowens says.
Through resilience, innovation, and an unwavering passion for childcare, All American Sitters has become more than a service, it is a movement redefining what quality childcare looks like in modern family and community life.
