Meet college nannies and sitters from Oregon State University

Hi! My name is Daragh, and I am a junior at Oregon State University studying mechanical engineering. I am currently available for childcare and household support services. I am originally from Portland, Oregon, and have been babysitting since I was 15 years old. I have experience caring for children of all ages, including infants, toddlers, and elementary-aged children. In addition to childcare, I have worked as a math tutor for students ranging from kindergarten through high school, which has strengthened my patience, communication skills, and ability to support children academically. I am truly passionate about working with children, having grown up with many younger siblings and cousins. I strive to create a safe, engaging, and positive environment where children feel supported and cared for. Beyond childcare, I am happy to help with cooking, cleaning, errands, and general household organization. I am comfortable around pets, love animals, and have no allergies. I look forward to the opportunity to support your family!

Hello, my name is Chloe! I grew up in Eugene, Oregon, and recently moved to Seattle after earning my bachelor's degree in Child Development and Family Sciences and a post-baccalaureate in Communication Disorders and Sciences. I am currently pursuing a career in speech-language pathology because I am passionate about supporting children's growth, development, and communication. Working with children has always been the most rewarding part of my life. I currently work with toddlers at a Montessori daycare and have experience working in preschool and K-5 classrooms, including student teaching. I'm patient, dependable, and love incorporating art, imaginative play, and hands-on activities into my work.

Hello, I have time in my schedule to help you and your family if you would like to reach out. I would be happy to fill in on short notice also. I have volunteered within children's ministries and am an Oregon Humane animal shelter volunteer. I am also going to be volunteering within the Lake Oswego School District. I work for a college M-F so am mostly available on the weekend. I graduated from Oregon State University with a Bachelor of Science in Wildlife Science and rode on the Dressage Team while I was a student. Later I earned my MBA while working full time. I have family in the area that I like to spend time with. I also enjoy the outdoors, school and learning new things. Hope to hear from you!

Highly personable and experienced nanny! Multiple years of Montessori & Reggio Emilio focused work in childcare centers as a lead. Currently working on my master's degree! I have lead camps at Woodland Park Zoo, the Seattle Aquarium, and Seattle Recreative. I'm looking forward to providing quality, enriching care for your family.

Hi! My name is Leahcim, and I’m a patient, kind, and bubbly babysitter who enjoys connecting with kids on their level. I bring a creative and thoughtful approach to childcare, always striving to make every moment fun, educational, and nurturing. Whether it’s reading stories, playing imaginative games, coloring, doing outdoor activities, or working through homework, I love helping children learn, grow, and express themselves. I have a strong foundation in child development and family studies through college coursework, which helps me better understand the emotional, behavioral, and developmental needs of children at every age. I’ve cared for toddlers and kids ages 2 to 10 and have hands-on experience with diaper changes, bottle prep, feeding, teething, and more. In addition to childcare, I’m happy to assist with household tasks like meal prep, light cleaning, or pet care! I’m comfortable around animals and understand how to support a busy household. I also offer tutoring support and have experience tutoring elementary and middle school students with schoolwork. Families can count on me to be responsible, flexible, and communicative. I value building trust with both kids and parents and am committed to creating a safe, joyful, and supportive environment. Whether you need a fun playmate, a patient tutor, or an extra set of hands around the house, I’m here to help however I can!

Hi, I’m Emma! I’m currently nannying part time! I worked in a multilingual preschool for 2 years where I lead group activities and focused on social emotional development. I have experience teaching swim lessons and working in other school environments with children aged 2-10. I also have experience working with seniors and end of life care.

Hi there! I am currently looking for part-time babysitting work. I have a patchwork of experience, working with children from infancy to high-school aged. Most of that comes from working in childcare centers with children 0-4 years old and in after school programs. I have a degree in botany, and I love love love using outdoor spaces to let children explore and develop. While I have a variety of childhood development and psychology courses in my background, I am also continuing my early childhood development education so that I can plan activities to do with children that best fits their age and needs. My ideal care includes a lot of play and hands-on activities. Please let me know if you have any questions. I look forward to meeting your family! Emma

My name is Sydney, and I am a recent graduate of Oregon State University with a degree in Archaeological Anthropology and a minor in Art History. I have hands-on experience caring for young children through both preschool work and babysitting, supporting children of all ages in both structured and home-based settings. In preschool environments, I assisted with daily routines, supervised play and learning activities, supported social–emotional development, and helped maintain a safe, organized classroom. As a babysitter, I have cared for children independently, managing meals, playtime, bedtime routines, and ensuring a calm, reliable presence for families. I am patient, attentive, and dependable, and I enjoy creating nurturing, engaging environments where children feel safe, supported, and encouraged to explore.

Hi! My name is Jezreel and I've recently graduated high school! I've had experience being a care taker for 2-3 years for kids at my church. I love animals and pets! Really looking forward to babysitting either occassionally, part time, or full time!

Hello! I am a former 6-12th grade teacher going back to school for nursing. I am looking for occasional or part time work on the days that I don’t have classes. My formal experience with children includes teaching middle school and high school, as well as summer camp with preschool to middle school aged children, and as an educational assistant for a special needs program. Although it has been awhile since I officially offered childcare, I grew up taking care of four younger siblings as well as foster children. I did often babysit for families with multiple children of different ages throughout high school and am looking to start again. I am comfortable with children of all ages, and am happy to help with light household chores and pets if needed. As a former teacher, I have a lot of experience with lesson planning and engaging kids in science (and other subjects too) regardless of their age and I would be happy to implement this in any childcare position. Looking forward to connecting with you!
