Find an after school nanny in Manning, OR

I am a high school graduate who is currently looking for work with babysitting, because I spent a lot of my childhood doing it unpaid, in that my parents would often visit their friends and bring me along, but I was always 5-6 years older than all of their friends children, so I would end up as the childcare person for the duration of their parties. I’ve always been naturally good at getting along with children, and I have lots of experience with them thanks to the aforementioned parent gatherings. I am looking to go to college next year, where I will be earning a teaching degree before applying to become an elementary school teacher, so I figured that babysitting would be a great part time job to help me get better at interacting with children and childcare situations before I dedicate my life to it. I hope that we can work together and have a good, trusting relationship, parents!

With years of experience caring for homes, pets, and children, I bring reliability, warmth, and professionalism to every family I work with. I began house sitting and babysitting while in high school and have continued to offer these services occasionally as a working professional. I truly enjoy being around children and animals, and I take pride in creating a safe, comfortable, and nurturing environment. Whether it’s keeping a home organized, ensuring pets are happy and well-cared for, or engaging children in meaningful activities, I approach every responsibility with genuine care and attention to detail.

I grew up in Redmond Washington then moved to Vancouver Washington 4 years ago. I am currently working at Lakeshore Child Center. I decided to move back to Seattle and attend Seattle Pacific University, majoring in International Business. Now I’m transferring to Washington State University in Vancouver to finish up my degree and continue me real estate licensing. My sister and brother both had kids which expanded my love for childcare and helping them both out. I did childcare for my neighbors all throughout 2020 and worked customer service at a gym after for 3 years. I also was a Food runner/Hostess for a restaurant, and then worked at a fine dining restaurant serving and hosting as well! This summer I did an internship for a real estate agency called The Kelly Group Real Estate, which expanded my love for real estate. As I have gotten older my love for kids and having my own someday has been growing, I have taught kids at church and helped out with childcare as well. I specifically loved the aspect of teaching and watching them grow in personality and intellect!
