Grace 1 review
Eugene
$15 per hour for 1 child

Hi there! My name is Grace, and I'm a first-year college student who loves helping kids learn and grow while having fun! I’m available on Mondays and Wednesdays after 2:30pm and Tuesdays and Thursdays after 1:30pm, but I’m flexible depending on what a family needs. From babysitting to housework, I am here to offer positive and reliable support wherever I go! While I am somewhat new to professional child care, I have extensive babysitting experience with younger family members and children of family friends, and have taken care of + instructed K-12 students. I love playing with kids, finding crafts to do, and making mini besties with every child in my care! I can also help with any after-school work or house chores that may be needed! I have worked as a teacher's aide in elementary classes, served as a camp counselor for Oregon’s outdoor school program for 2 years, and volunteered with the survival swim program in Salem. I am CPR and First Aid Certified, as well as DSP certified, and have experience providing academic and behavior support to kids with a wide range of mental disabilities. If families are looking for someone to care for kids with special needs, I am prepared! I am comfortable with all kinds of personalities and ready to create a supportive and positive environment for your little ones as they learn and explore, while also taking some tasks off your to-do list!

My younger son is ADHD and autistic. I needed someone to engage with him, take him to the park, and give him the one-on-one time he thrives on. Grace was great! He took to her right away and looked forward to when she’d be back. I love hearing my son happy and engaged or energized from spending time in the park, and she knew just how to connect with him. I couldn’t recommend her enough, especially those with higher-needs kiddos! Much thanks and appreciation to you, Grace!

Hi, I'm Sylvia. I've been a caregiver both personally and professionally for over 15 years. I've raised my own three children in Eugene, complete with 2 dogs, 3 cats and various little hamsters. I also helped my mother-in-law with her Alzheimer's care. I've assisted with doctors appointments, shopping and errands as well as light housework and cooking. I'm certified in Waldorf early childhood education and have taught in a Waldorf preschool and kindergarten. I have all background checks, CPR training, and a food handlers licence. Most recently I've had my own in-home preschool. My favorite activities with children include baking and cooking, arts and crafts, taking walks, gardening , reading and playtime. Most of all, I love watching and guiding each child as they grow into their unique self. As a mom, I also know the importance of having help and support. It makes me happy to offer professional, loving and trustworthy care for your family.
