Meet college nannies and sitters from Pacific University

Hi there! I'm a former elementary school teacher with a degree in Education and years of experience supporting children's growth both in and out of the classroom. I've worked with kids of all ages - from infants discovering the world for the first time to confident upper-elementary students developing independence and emotional awareness. Teaching gave me a deep understanding of child development, learning styles, and the power of connection, and those same values guide the way I care for children today. As both an educator and a mom, I know how much trust it takes to invite someone into your child's world. I bring calm, consistency, and creativity to every environment I'm in. I love planning activities that are meaningful and engaging - story time, nature walks, hands-on crafts, science experiments, or just baking something fun together. My approach is centered on nurturing curiosity, confidence, and kindness in every child I meet. Families describe me as reliable, intuitive, and warm-hearted. I balance structure and play, making sure children feel safe, heard, and happy while parents can fully relax knowing their little ones are in capable hands. Whether it's school pick-ups, bedtime routines, or full creative play days, I treat every child with the same care and respect I give my own daughter. Caring for kids isn't just something I do - it's truly what I love.

I'm an Oregon native with a degree in journalism, beginning a masters in September in speech-language pathology at Pacific University. I have 5 years of experience as a babysitter. I currently work as a freelance ESL tutor, but am available for full-time babysitter opportunities including weekends, weeknights, and holidays. I'm CPR, AED, and First Aid certified and have extensive experience with children ages 3+. I'm skilled in emotional regulation strategies, engaging activities, and homework help. I'm patient, enjoy building connections, and am committed to helping kids thrive. Feel free to contact me for references or to set up a call!
