Sierra $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! I’m Sierra. I currently work as a realtor in West Linn for Matin Real Estate but prior to this work, I worked in social services for a decade. I worked primarily as a vocational counselor helping individuals with their careers whom have a disability, injury, or mental health condition. I’ve also done medical case management, worked with individuals on the autism spectrum and their families, and volunteered in the big brothers big sisters program to mentor youth. I have for many years taken care of my younger siblings from the time they were born up through teenage years. I also nanny for a friend who has a 5 year old child regularly as well. My education is a BA in Psychology and MPA degree. I am an excellent communicator, organized, thoughtful, and kind. With my education background, I am comfortable tutoring children and teenagers as I graduated with honors both in undergrad and graduate school and have taken challenging classes in a wide variety of studies. I am comfortable assisting with household errands, cleaning, and pick up/drop off to appointments or school. I own my own home and live in SW Beaverton. I drive a Subaru Crosstrek. I look forward to speaking with you soon!

Garmony $20 per hour for 1 child

Hello! My name is Garmony. I am a 21 year old nursing student and I am offering child care, and household services. I am new to baby sitting for others but growing up my mother was working a lot so I took on the responsibility of taking care of my 2 younger sisters that are 5-7 years younger than me. I also would always babysit for my aunts and uncles and my cousins were infants, toddlers and 4+ years old. I have babysat for years so I’m very familiar with taking care of children and it’s something that I enjoy and love to do. I can also clean, cook, and do basically any household chores as well!
