Hi, I’m Katie! My passion for supporting the growth and learning of children, combined with my experience in caregiving for both the young and elderly, allows me to offer a dedicated and adaptable approach. My experience includes raising my own child, assisting with the children of family and friends, and providing care for elderly individuals. I am adept at creating nurturing and engaging environments, and I am committed to providing compassionate and attentive care. Beyond my caregiving experience, I am an active and engaged individual with a variety of hobbies, including fishing, reading, hiking, road tripping, crafting, and camping. I believe my diverse interests contribute to my ability to connect with and support individuals of all ages. I'm excited to explore how my background and interests align with your family's needs. Thank you for your time and consideration. Enjoy your day!

I am a college student who also is going to be doing track in the spring! I am trying to make extra money here and there because I will not be able to work as much with school and practice in the way during my usual hours of work! I am 18 and have been babysitting for about 5 years now!

I am a stay at home mom and I have 5 little ones of my own Jana 7, Mason 6, Weston 5, Cecilia 3 & Olivia 1.5. I enjoy seeing kids having fun and smiling! Enjoying the simple things in life! It would be appreciated if I could babysit at my house if at all possible with having 5 of my own. But my kids are friendly and love to interact with other kids. I am very outgoing, caring, loving, friendly, my house is already busy with kiddos and would love to help others in need of babysitters because I know how hard it can be to find your little one a place to be at during work hours or errands to run or even a date night or night out! Please consider me, just want your little one to be comfortable here and hopefully would enjoy running around with my kids as well! Also we have a dog named Snowball she is really sweet.

Hi I’m Andrea! I am 27 and currently live in the Portland area. I have been baby sitting for the past several years and really enjoy the time I get to spend with kids! I have worked with the tutoring agency Kumon when I was a student at PSU and tutored kids from ages 2-10. I am also very comfortable with animals and have grown up with pets since I was a little girl and love to spend time in the sun outside!

My life's work has always been working with children. I have worked as a preschool teacher (both for infants and toddlers), elementary school teacher, nanny, tutor, and mentor. Additionally, I've volunteered in many capacities involving children, including working with children in foster care and in precarious living situations requiring compassionate outreach. My experience includes working with differently abled children, both physically and/or mentally. I have extensive experience with autism, ADHD, and generalized learning/communication diagnoses that require special attentiveness and flexibility to every child's needs. This experience has given me many strategies for supporting children's socio-emotional and/or academic learning. My passion in working with children lies in my innate belief that children crave age-appropriate autonomy, consistency with boundaries and communication, and adults who are responsive and able to flexibly adapt to children's needs. I love to play! I lead with humor and curiosity, which helps children feel safe and seen from the start. I love to sing, play guitar, write, draw, and create/participate in sensory-seeking experiences. I find true joy in watching children develop their confidence and sense of self, and consider it a privilege to facilitate these life skills by building relational trust with children and their families. Additionally, most of my experience that has taken place outside of non-academic settings has entailed house-cleaning, shopping and cooking, transportation, pet care (mostly dogs and cats), and house/pet-sitting when needed. When I work in a family's home, my goal is to integrate care for the space and each family's overall needs with caregiving itself. I find these are intertwined more often than not! I enjoy helping in any way I can.
